What if your home was turned into a military firing zone?

Despite talk of a peace process, the Israeli army has ordered the eviction of some 1,000 Palestinians – men, women and children — from their homes in the occupied West Bank. Why? Because the military wants to turn eight Palestinian villages into a “firing zone” for military training. Even as President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry speak in favor of a peace agreement, the U.S.-subsidized Israeli military is subjecting Palestinians to ongoing human rights abuses.
