Faces of the Occupation

An Uneasy Weekend in the Jericho Valley

Two youths left an illegal outpost near Ras al-Ein with their flock. They did not go out to graze but to abuse and intimidate the Palestinian residents in their village. "Looking the Occupation in the Eye" ("Mistaclim") activists separate the Palestinian herd grazing on private land from the settler invader and call the security forces. The soldiers who arrived do not know that Area C does not grant any rights to the settler shepherd

The New Weapon of the Settlers – A Herd of Camels

The land robbers are escalating their activities aimed to expel Palestinian communities. Settlers, some of them are residents in illegal outposts, wish to complete cleansing C areas from their occupied residents. Their method is based on intimidating and terrorizing Palestinian shepherd communities. Additionally, they illegally erect structures on Palestinian lands and wage a public relations campaign full of lies. The army and police prefer to avert their gaze and disregard.

A Soldier of King David

“You went into Gaza to take revenge as much as possible, against women and children, in everything you saw, that's what you wanted. And on this day, a year after Simchat Torah, when we thought we had already slaughtered the enemy, slaughtered them all, expelled them from the land, we are here at your funeral.”

You are held accountable for crimes committed by the IDF

A letter to the commander of the Bekaa Brigade sent by activists looking at the occupation in the eye clarifies that they will take legal measures to change the army's behavior in relation to settlers and the Palestinian population

The Communities are Determined to Survive, and We Are Steadfast

In the past year we have deepened the protective presence among the herding communities. Against all difficulties, including violent attacks by settlers, arrests of activists and Palestinians, sheep robbery, property damage, intimidation and lies aimed at criminalizing and arresting us. Even if the occupation cannot be stopped, it is possible to make the situation less bad.

And the Flocks Are Grazing

How peaceful are the meadows of the southern Palestinian Jordan Valley. How majestic and magnificent is the primeval landscape. How serene are the goats and the sheep, wandering slowly, licking the last visible roots, and the summer has not yet begun.
