Israeli settlers steal Palestinian farmers’ land in occupied West Bank


‘There is a second war in Palestine which is happening in the occupied West Bank’
— Abbas Milhem, director of the Palestinian Farmers’ Union (PAFU) in Ramallah

“Farmers in the occupied West Bank face near-daily incursions and violence from Israeli settlers …

“Farmer Ayman Assad, 45, and his family can clearly hear the attacks from their home just 2km from the camp and they have made the past few weeks a nightmare for him, his wife and five children.

“‘The children are constantly scared, and they don’t play outside any more, it’s too dangerous’ … ‘We can hear the attacks on the refugee camp, explosions and gunshots’ …



“The West Bank has been occupied by Israel since 1967.

“Since then, about 700,000 Israeli settlers have illegally settled in the Palestinian territory and have been stealing from, attacking and destroying, olive groves, farmland and property there for years …


“But these incursions have stepped up in recent weeks, as Israeli forces and settlers mount armed raids …

“Just over two weeks ago, armed Israeli settlers invaded the Milhem farm, fired guns in the direction of the people working on the harvest and stole olives …

“One of the workers at the farm, Iman Abdallah Jawabri, 45, was harvesting olives in a crew that included her husband when five settlers came in.

“‘They shot towards us as if they wanted to scare us … Then they told all the women to leave and started hitting the men …’”

  1. So long as you appease Zionists, they will be emboldened in their violence, their stealing, their racism, their inhumanity. Not all Zionists are violent racist inhuman criminals, but those that behave like this absolutely are.....
