Thank you for standing on our side! And I am not the only one. I am just the most prominent one. The one that is seen by at least some people west. There are others around me here in Hebron. There are others in other places all over the West Bank! And all over Palestine!
Also HIS NAME IS ISSA AMRO. Look up what regularly happens to him when he engages in nonviolent actions in Hebron.
"How does Israel’s policy of ethnic cleansing and occupation in the West Bank work? We discussed this question with Issa Amro, who lives in the West Bank, and Andrey X, an activist involved in the ‘protective presence’ initiative in Palestinian villages."

Are there solutions for workers in the midst of the crisis? Yes, there could be plans to build a free economy for Palestine, one that is independent and based on production.

The sight of workers trying to smuggle goods in a rubbish bin is truly heartbreaking, but what drove them to such desperation is the real issue.
A failed labour leadership and a leadership incapable of finding alternatives; we are like orphans at the tables of the wicked.

Yesterday volunteers cleared weeds from around the olive trees in Tel al-Ramida – may God grant these young people good health.

The so-called ‘Bird Room’, established by the criminal and the late Abdul Hamid Rajoub, has left deep wounds and harrowing testimonies of torture and violations of human and moral rights.
We neither forgive nor forget those who betrayed their people and their cause.

It is not easy to remain silent… nor must the memory of that pain be erased.
Honourable people of Dura, you who struggle for justice, how can you accept that a fugitive agent—responsible for the torture and murder of so many of the finest among our people in the Dura area—should be buried here?!

Hebron, from Tel Rumeida: a view of the Ibrahimi Mosque and the surrounding area.
Winter was wet, spring is here! Everything is green!
This was neither the first attack by soldiers on me, nor the last. On 7th October 2023 I was detained and tortured for hours. So were my friend Mohammad Natschi and others.
The only special thing about this attack is, that they did it in front of a camera, while a well known journalist was with me!
Note the date. 9 months before October 7.
“an Israeli soldier … stopped my interview did this with a Palestinian peace activist Issa Amro in #Hebron. I can't stop thinking how dehumanizing the occupation is on the young soldiers charged with enforcing it” […]

We Demand that UK and the European Union impose sanctions on Israeli Knesset members who supported the death penalty, as sanctions were imposed on lawmakers in Russia.

Particularly through terror attacks carried out by Israeli settlers. Palestinian villages in the West Bank are increasingly facing the threat of ethnic cleansing, while acts of violence continue to be met with impunity.
In the face of this alarming reality, the question remains: What can we do?

While the genocide in Gaza continues, global attention has shifted toward an unlawful war against Iran, diverting focus from ongoing atrocities in the region. Amid this broader climate of conflict, violence in the West Bank is steadily escalating.

The Palestinian court has decided to release the activist Omar Assaf, Hamdallah Al-Salamah, on bail.
What have we gained from his arrest, Security Agency???
While covering an attack on a West Bank village in which settlers beat a 75-year-old man inside his home, a CNN crew was detained by Israeli soldiers who echoed settler ideology and spoke of revenge.

We are a people with a cause; we are a people in need of freedom; and we are a people who must stand with those who stand with us and support us—they feel for us, and we feel for them.
Freedom for Omar Assaf

Palestinians are not required to take a stance on every issue concerning the land, and if a stance might harm their people, it is better to remain silent.
We have our own experience of the war on Kuwait and our stance on it, and of the war on the Assad regime and our stance on it.
