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.
