You don’t need to look much further than an incident like this to understand what the reality on the ground in the West Bank is like. The law here depends on who you are, not what you do. If you’re a Palestinian or a left-wing Israeli activist, you can expect the army to work against you.
When settlers are free to come and go while we were stopped before we could even enter the settlement in the city, it’s not hard to understand that it was an attempt to intimidate activists and conceal the harsh reality of Israel’s military occupation and settlements.
When we talk about a policy of separation, about an apartheid regime, this is what we mean. The occupation is not only catastrophic for Palestinians, it has never brought Israelis real security.
Military control over millions of people is not a game plan, it’s a recipe for disaster. The occupation must end for the sake of all of us – Palestinians and Israelis.
