  • Breaking: Protester in West Bank dies of injuries inflicted by Israeli soldiers

      If it's at all possible, I hope you'll attend the funeral tomorrow in the village. If it's a repeat of Mustafa's funeral, the IOF will spray the mourners with skunk water.

      Scary as hell, I know it! Thank you so much for doing this! I have heard nothing but great things from the villagers regarding your visit. Thank you for being brave and for writing about your experience. This means the world to them and to me.
      With much respect and appreciation,

  • An American observes as Israelis suppress a peaceful demo in occupied West Bank ('the panic you feel is unbelievable')

      Now that I'm home and have had time to watch the video footage and really think about what I experienced, I have a theory about Nabi Saleh. Neither side accomplished anything the day I was there and this has been happening every Friday for almost 18 months. So.....what is the point? When you watch the videos, it's mostly of the soldiers throwing stun grenades and shooting tear gas. You rarely see any of the villagers or activists. It looks like a training video. It looks like they are simulating warfare in an abandoned town. I think maybe the IDF uses places like Nabi Saleh to train for combat. If you watch closely, you see several of the soldiers struggle with their weapons, like maybe they're new at this. Are they practicing on the villagers of Nabi Saleh? I'm afraid so.
