A dusty blue tractor, idle at the edge of the field. Some twenty soldiers, including many officers and a Druze super-officer from the Civil Administration. Six army vehicles plus the big police van. A dozen settlers or so, held at bay by the soldiers.  Fifteen Palestinians of the ‘Awad and Jabareen families, whose land we are standing on. Sa’id ‘Awad, restrained, dignified, is their spokesman today. Children—like Latif, in school in Yata, and Sara, in a long brown coat and pink boots and a knitted scarf for the ...Continue  Tags: Umm el-Arayes Posted in Activists' Blogs, Agricultural Accompaniment, Susya, Umm el-Arayes | No Comments » 

   Saturday, July 21 2012  They’ll Stone You When You’re Trying to Feed Your Sheep by Amitai Ben Abba “Waaargh!!!” the older settler roars and charges us with a rock in his palm. I am afraid, finding myself behind the camera at a settler attack once again. “We already called the cops, they’re attacking us, stop them!” I shout to the soldiers in the jeep down in the wadi. The settler runs past us to throw the stones at the shepherds and Ada makes a ninja jump, imitates the settler’s roar and starts running after him screaming at him go home, nutcase. Fruitcake. Cupcake. Ada, a brave yoga teacher ...Continue  Posted in Activists' Blogs, Agricultural Accompaniment, Tuwani | No Comments » 

   Saturday, April 21 2012  Um al-‘Amad – By David Shulman April 21, 2012   Um al-‘Amad Several large families—among them, Ihrizat, Ihraini, and Abu Samra—belong to Um al-‘Amad, perched on a high hill west of the desert and directly across from the drab and violent settlement of Otniel.  In fact, Otniel sits on the Abu Samra family’s lands. Like all other settlements, Otniel has also drawn a wide perimeter fence around itself, effectively annexing another large chunk of Palestinian land; still worse, for the last thirteen years the settlers and soldiers have denied the Palestinians access to the relatively fertile grazing ...Continue  Posted in Activists' Blogs, Agricultural Accompaniment, South Mt.

   Saturday, December 24 2011  Plowing in Wadi J’kheish, visit to the villages of Ateer, T’wani and Tuba  A number of activists accompanied a harvest adjacent to Wadi J’kheish, about a kilometer southwest of the settlement of Susia. The activists continued on to a visit in the Bedouin village Ateer, located within the green line, some ten kilometers from the “Shani” border crossing; last Wednesday [21.12.11] the Israel Land Administration [Minhal Mekarka’ey Israel] carried out house demolitions in the village, leaving about 60 people without a roof over their heads. Of these about thirty will pass the night in a tin structure with a torn roof while the ...Continue  Posted in Agricultural Accompaniment, Protest against settlements and outposts, Susya, Tuwani | No Comments » 

   Saturday, January 22 2011  escorting shepherds in Um Elkhir, cleaning a cistern in Bir El Id  In the morning we went out with the shepherds. As we reached the pastures, forces of the border police and the army arrived and asked to see our papers, but nothing more. The shepherds went down into the wadi with the flocks and we returned to the village and from there to Bir El Id. We saw the progress of cleaning the cistern, on which the Civil Authority only allowed one week’s work. From there we continued to Palestinian Susya. We found that the settlers were pitching a huge tent ...Continue  Posted in Agricultural Accompaniment, Bir al-'Id, Susya, Umm al-Kheir | No Comments » 

   Saturday, January 15 2011  escorting the plowing at Bnei Naim and repairing a cistern  In the course of the morning we were approached by a peasant from Bnei Naim who came to plow his land and said that the soldiers wouldn’t let him get to it. He was with two of his sons, a horse and a plow. For six years he had been prevented from reaching his land. Some of the trees were dry and neglected, some had been cut down, unpicked olives lay on the ground and unpicked almonds were left on the trees. We discovered that the soldiers had prevented him ...Continue  Posted in Agricultural Accompaniment, Bir al-'Id, Uncategorized | No Comments » 

   Saturday, January 8 2011  cleaning the cistern in Bir El Id  As on every Saturday we set out for the South Hebron hills. When we arrived in order to continue the work of cleaning the cistern in Bir El Id, the army appeared and declared that already the day before the area had been designated a “closed military zone”. The order had been issued contrary to the instructions of the legal adviser and the High Court injunction. Five activists were arrested and released in the afternoon. Other activists managed to visit Bir El Id and encourage Haj Ziad who had been ...Continue  Posted in Agricultural Accompaniment, Bir al-'Id | No Comments »
