Dear friends,
Amidst escalating tensions in the region, we continue to pursue another way. We refuse to accept violence as the solution to our despair and choose to recognise the humanity in each other, jointly co-resisting injustice and embodying an alternative reality that promotes safety and dignity for all.
On 31st July, after settlers entered the private land of the Kisiya family in alMakhrour right near our Palestinian office in Beit Jala, we sprung into action to nonviolently resist the settler takeover of the land. Every day, we have been present with Israeli and Palestinian solidarity activists, showing the settlers and the army that the family has allies to provide protective presence against their violence and documenting the injustice in real time. Read more about the situation here.
On the 12th day of the campaign, we built a tent on the mountain opposite the family's land that is being taken over and named it the "Nonviolent Resistance Camp" of AlMakhrour and are inviting activists, diplomats, politicians, journalists and anyone who believes in supporting Palestinian rights to remain on their land to come and stand with us. |
