Occupation Soldiers Detained Solidarity Delegations Supporting Palestinian Victims of Settlers Terror

he delegations to Bethlehem and the Jordan Valley, were stopped by soldiers and police officers, and activists held protests on the scene. In other areas, activities proceeded as planned. “While settler terror gangs operated across the West Bank unhindered, the police and army blocked hundreds of activists this morning who came to demonstrate solidarity with the victims,” one of the participants told Zo Haderekh.

Hundreds of activists from a wide range of organizations took part in the protest, including Partnership for Peace, Rabbis for Human Rights, Peace Now, Hadash, Zazim, The Parents Circle-Families Forum, Standing Together, Jordan Valley Activists, Looking the Occupation in the Eye, Women Wage Peace, A Land for All, Combatants for Peace, Breaking the Silence, and Mothers Against Violence.

Partnership for Peace stated: “Hundreds of Israelis who set out to oppose terror and demand the state enforce the law in the occupied territories were detained at all checkpoints. It was proven that when the army wants to, it can act efficiently. We expect authorities to show the same determination in protecting innocent people who undergo daily violent pogrom attacks. We will not stop striving for peace, justice, and equality for all residents of the region.” “We will continue the struggle against the occupation and ethnic cleansing! They will not succeed in stopping us!” they emphasized.

Who Are We

After two years of war in Gaza — a war rooted in decades of occupation — the West Bank is in the midst of an ethnic-cleansing campaign accompanied by settler violence, while the army and police stand by and even assist the lawbreakers. The remaining shepherding communities in the West Bank, those who have not yet been expelled, are experiencing distress and adversity greater than ever before. All of these — and more — are the result of Israel’s failed strategy in dealing with the ongoing occupation. We stay continuously in the occupied West Bank to defend and protect the local inhabitants.
‍
We, the activists of “Looking the Occupation in the Eye,” are all volunteers committed to human rights and to the future of this country. We stand in opposition to the occupation and work to bring it to an end.

Today. This is the Day After

(October 10, 2025)

There’s no doubt that this is not the future that Netanyahu and Hamas desire. Trump’s outline seeks to provide a long-term solution and has been endorsed by more than 150 countries. And for that very reason — exactly because both of the sides are displeased by the agreement — it might stand a chance.

This agreement is being signed by two sides who for 30 years have been trying to sabotage the Oslo Accords. It is not by coincidence that Netanyahu and Hamas were almost allied in recent history.

This is why the public cannot allow itself to just wait around for the conclusion of the „first stage“ like it did in the first months of the war. Back then, statements like ‘’this isn’t the time for politics’’ were running rampant. The belief was that, because Hamas committed acts of atrocity, it should be completely desecrated — and so festered and bubbled national desires of revenge. And through this exact desire the ‘’enlightened’’ public cleared the road for Netanyahu and his messianic gang.

Back then ‘’Brothers in Arms’’ and other democracy-inclined (for jews only) organizations ceased their struggle against the fascist government; under slogans like ‘’Yachad Nenatzeach’’ (together we will win). Meanwhile, their opponents in the right made sure to strengthen their hold in the government and, namely, the military, the police, the shin-bet, the judicial system, and the major public service departments. We cannot make this mistake again.
