Twelve years ago this week, the broadest spectrum of Palestinian civil society organisations issued a historic call for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) by the international community to hold accountable Israel and other institutions complicit in its colonial, apartheid regime. In just a dozen years, BDS has seen extraordinary victories worldwide. In the US alone, by 2015, ten years after the BDS call, there had been 100 BDS wins – an extraordinary number that has since doubled over the last two years to 200 US BDS wins!

The valley is considered a natural geographical and demographic expanse of the city of Hebron. The eastern border of the valley is the adjacent settlement of Kiryat Araba' while the western border consists of Jaber and al-Salayma neighbourhoods that separate the valley from the Ibrahimi mosque. Wadi al-Hussein is a connected to a street confiscated by the Israeli occupying powers under frail pretexts. The street is only available for soldiers' and settlers' vehicles whilst Palestinian vehicles are denied access. Palestinians are not allowed to walk on foot on the street on Saturdays and on Jewish festivities, among other occasions. Not only do the Israeli authorities impose restrictions on the access of Palestinian vehicles, they have also set up a number of military barriers and checkpoints at the borders and entrances of the area to ensure its alienation from its surroundings. Not only do the Israeli authorities impose restrictions on the access of Palestinian vehicles, they have also set up a number of military barriers and checkpoints at the borders and entrances of the area to ensure its alienation from its surroundings. Such practices have inflicted a severe amount of suffering on the inhabitants of the area across different spheres, including social, cultural, humanitarian, economic, and recreational aspects of life. That stands in stark violation of the rights guaranteed by national, regional and international human rights and laws. Direct and indirect ramifications of the practices of the Israeli occupation against the isolated Palestinian population in the area, include: The impact of closure on social life: The Israeli occupation authorities have adopted a policy of exerting pressure and tightening the siege on Palestinian citizens to force them to flee their homes. The Israeli Occupation army has pursued the policy of raiding houses on a regular basis. During such break-ins, Israeli soldiers detain residents or threaten them and/or take individuals to gaol after destroying the contents of houses. Besides, the Israeli army often turns a blind eye to settlers who regularly harass Palestinian citizens and attack their houses in Wadi al-Hussein and al-Salayma and Jaber neighbourhoods. Some of the attacks on the part of settlers include: shooting at Palestinian civilians, throwing stones at Palestinians' houses, destroying private property, and harassing children and women in specific. The closure of the area, the restrictions on movement and the difficulty of communication have led to social isolation on the part of the inhabitants of that corner of the world. They are cut off from the rest of the city and cannot visit each other or take part in the happy and sad events of their relatives and loved ones. The impact of the closure on economy: The hassle of accessing goods into the area has led many merchants to close their shops and get out of business. Given that the occupation authorities prevent the opening of new shops, the Palestinian population has to buy their daily needs from neighbouring areas, and thus endure the inconvenience of transporting their purchases to their houses. Palestinian inhabitants are forced to use horse-drawn vehicles or hand carts to transport heavy objects, such as household furniture and cooking gas pipes. This is done after being subjected to military checkpoints for a thorough inspection and procrastination to allow these purchases to pass through the area. The area's lack of workshops has pushed the working class to undergo daily traffic in the morning and evening and pass through the barriers by the Israeli Occupation. The area's closure has contributed to a rise of the unemployment rate in comparison to open areas. The impact of the closure on the educational domain: There are no elementary schools and kindergartens in Wadi al-Hussein, thus children are forced to travel long distances on their way to and from schools in nearby neighbourhoods. Students have to cross more than one checkpoint on their daily journey. In many cases, Israeli soldiers deliberately fire sound and tear gas bombs at them, causing students to pass out or get injured. Students are also subjected to attacks by hateful settlers roaming the area while teachers often undergo humiliating searches whilst crossing military checkpoints. The impact of the closure at security levels: The Palestinian residents of this area suffer from lack of security and safety measures and feel that their lives and property are at risk. This feeling is further solidified with the repeated attacks by the settlers and the Israeli occupation army. Settlers patrol the area under the protection and support of the Israeli occupation army. The Israeli Army has installed a number of checkpoints and observation towers in front or on the roof of Palestinians' houses. That means residents lack privacy as the occupying forces often breach it. The psychological effects of the closure:
The impact of closure on health services: The level of care and health services has drastically been affected. Palestinian Ambulances, like Palestinian vehicles in general, are denied access. That perpetuates the suffering of patients who need to walk or fully rely on relatives to carry them out of the area. Patients then need to obtain permission from the Israeli soldiers to cross to the other side where ambulances or other vehicles await them. The closure of the area has harmful ramifications on maternal and child care as well as on care for the elderly. The impact of the closure on urban life: The Israeli occupation authorities prohibit any new construction plans, although this is a humanitarian right that meets the demands of the natural increase of population. Not only constriction schemes, the Israeli authorities also prevent the renovation work implemented by the Hebron Rehabilitation Committee on existing houses. The authorities do grant access to construction tools and materials. As a result, Palestinian residents resort to the use of horse-drawn vehicles to solve the problem of transporting materials, furniture among others. These arbitrary measures are adopted by the Israeli occupation against the isolated Palestinian population in the area that is located between Kiryat Araba' and Tel Rumeida. These measures are carried out with the goal of emptying the area of its Palestinian population. Exerting pressure on Palestinians, intimidating them, and creating a state of social isolation are some of the above-mentioned measures. The Israeli occupation wants to force Palestinians to leave the area so Israeli settlers can take it over and ensure a state of geographical contiguity between Kiryat Araba' and the Ibrahimi mosque on one hand, and between Kiryat Araba' and other military posts at the heart of Hebron's old city on the other. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Palestine Yearbook 2015 The genocide the world ignores by Diana Lodge Everyone should have a copy of this invaluable resource!

The lack of freedom of movement is the frustrating and humiliating background to daily life for the Palestinian people, whose suffering includes a variety of human rights abuses, from night home invasions to wanton acts of agricultural and economic sabotage. The Israeli Occupation Army enforces a permit system for the benefit of settlers that determines where Palestinians may live in their own land. Water A major aquifer under the West Bank is controlled by Israel and from it the occupying power illegally plunders two-thirds of the precious water. Across the Occupied West Bank, Israel's illegal settlements have completely free access to water. Settler homes enjoy full swimming pools and well-watered gardens, while Palestinian access to their own water is severely restricted. Israel compounds this crime in two ways: The Zionist state forces Palestinians to pay the Israeli government public water supply company Mekorot for what little water they are allowed and, at the same time, Israel forbids Palestinians to sink wells or even build water storage facilities. Palestinians living under Israeli occupation are restricted to about 70 litres a day per person – well below the 100 litres per capita daily recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO) – whereas Israeli daily per capita consumption, at about 300 litres, is about four times as much. In some rural communities Palestinians survive on far less than even the average 70 litres, in some cases barely 20 litres per day, the minimum amount recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO) for emergency situations response. In addition, reports by both the World Bank and the United Nations Environment Programme show that the water crisis in Gaza is likely to be critical and irreversible by 2020. The reports show that Gaza is almost completely dependent on a coastal aquifer that has now become filled with undrinkable sea water. Both international bodies express concern that Israeli military occupation in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip means severe limitations on people's access to essential water supplies. One example of the water discrimination faced by Palestinians is the plight of Furush Beit Dajan villagers in the Jordan Valley. A visit by a delegation that included two British MPs in January 2015, co-ordinated by EWASH member Palestinian Agricultural Relief Committee (PARC), heard how the Israeli occupation was choking the community’s access to water. Israeli settlements surrounding the village faced no restrictions on access to water resources while Palestinians are only allowed to extract water from wells down to a depth of 80m. Palestinian farmers are unable to obtain the quantity or quality of water necessary to effectively irrigate their crops. Following the Occupation of the West Bank in 1967 the Israeli Army seized all the agricultural land in the area and Palestinian farmers are forced into renting their own land back from the Israelis. Restrictions of movement Israel places checkpoints at the entrances to towns and villages to prevent people from entering or leaving. Interference with people attempting to move around towns and villages consists of blocking roads with concrete blocks, barbed-wire and/or earth mounds. People attempting to transport farm produce and other goods find obstacles placed on the roads by the Israeli Army. Trucks have to be unloaded by hand and similarly re-loaded onto vehicles brought from beyond the obstructions. Road closures are used to isolate areas wherever the Israeli Army considers the presence of Palestinians to be ‘illegal’. When the Israeli Army declares a curfew, anyone appearing in the street or at a window is liable to be shot dead. There are instances of Palestinian mothers giving birth at checkpoints, having been denied ready access to hospital. In some cases mothers have died as a result of Israeli Army indifference. *Restrictions of movement comprise: Closures of checkpoints - Flying checkpoints - Closures (per district) - Closures of main roads - Closures of crossings. Agricultural and economic sabotage Both the Israeli Army and illegal (according to international law) settlers terrorise Palestinian farmers, often preventing them from working their land, as well as frequently uprooting or setting fire to Palestinian olive trees and bulldozing their crops. The United Nations (UN Security Council Resolution 465) has repeatedly upheld the view that Israel's construction of settlements constitutes violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention. The International Court of Justice (see also summary) says these settlements are illegal and no foreign governments support Israel's settlements. The aim of the settlements is both to take land and resources from the local people and to bring pressure to bear on them to leave. On 21 January 2015, the newspaper Falesteen reported that the Israeli Occupation settlement of Kiryat Arba in Hebron had demanded the equivalent of US$22,359 in property 'taxes' from a Palestinian farmer, Al-Ja'bari, for his nearby house and farmland. The Gaza fishing industry The Gaza fishing industry is being crippled by the enforcement of a draconian fishing limit. The Israel Navy forces Palestinian fishing boats to remain within a three-nautical-mile, over-fished zone, sometimes at the cost to crews of life, limb and property. Gaza City's ruined international airport is permanently closed. Palestinians needing to enter or leave Palestine can do so only with Israeli permission. In addition to Israel's occasional massive bombing raids, Gaza residents are forced to live with the constant fear of overflying drones and the traumatising effects of sonic booms created by Israeli war planes. The effects on the children of Gaza are particularly distressing. House demolitions and evictions The Israeli Army routinely destroys Palestinian houses built without Israel's permission. Since the beginning of 2015, the Israeli Occupation has demolished 77 homes, livestock shelters, farm buildings and other structures in Area C of the West Bank, resulting in 110 people, around half of them children, losing their homes at the height of the winter, according to a report compiled by the United Nations Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). OCHA also reported that between 19 and 26 January, Israel had already demolished 41 structures, far higher than the weekly average in 2014 of nine demolitions per week. In that seven-day period, the Israeli occupation delivered 45 'halt to construction' orders and two demolition orders. In 2014, Israel demolished the homes of 969 Palestinians – a total of 493 homes and ancillary structures in Area C of the West Bank which, under the Oslo Accords, is under exclusive Israeli control. In East Jerusalem seven Palestinian buildings were demolished, including two on 29 January in the Jabal Mukkaber neighbourhood. Buildings were also torn down in Issawiya, Shuafat and Ras al-Amud. In East Jerusalem, 208 Palestinians were displaced in 2014 after Israel demolished 97 buildings. In 2014, according to OCHA figures, the Israeli occupation destroyed 590 Palestinian-owned structures in Area C and East Jerusalem, displacing 1177 people. The 41 structures destroyed by Israel between 19 and 26 January, according to OCHA, were in Bedouin and other pastoral communities in Hebron, Jericho, Ramallah and Beit Iksa, north-west of Jerusalem. The destruction included buildings that had been donated by European humanitarian organisations. Construction stop orders were issued for a park funded by donor nations in the Yatta area and buildings in the Ramallah area and near Tubas, in the northern Jordan Valley. On 23 January 2015, the United Nations Resident and Humanitarian Co-ordinator, James W. Rawley, expressed his concern over the recent spate of Israeli Army demolitions of Palestinian homes in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. "In the past three days, 77 Palestinians, over half of them children, have been made homeless," said Mr. Rawley. "Some of the demolished structures were provided by the international community to support vulnerable families. Demolitions that result in forced evictions and displacement run counter to Israel's obligations under international law and create unnecessary suffering and tension. They must stop immediately," he said. Discrimination Israel's planning policies very much limit the ability of Palestinians to build in East Jerusalem, discriminating against them compared to Jews. In Area C – the majority of the West Bank – except in certain exceptional cases, Israel does not allow Palestinians construction levels to match natural population growth, and prevents hundreds of communities with some 300,000 Palestinian residents to connect to essential infrastructure and services (according to OCHA figures). Under this Israeli-imposed regime, Palestinians living in overcrowded housing and appalling conditions, are faced with the choice, either to move out to the Palestinian enclaves in Areas A and B or build homes without Israeli permits and face the consequences. Home invasions and abductions of children and other youngsters Israeli troops frequently invade Palestinian homes (often at dead of night) and abductions of Palestinian minors are commonplace. Israeli soldiers often vandalise the interiors of Palestinian homes being raided and frequently terrorise children and other minors with threats. Youngsters abducted by Israeli soldiers are often blindfolded and their wrists tied behind their backs. Many children are illegally taken to prison in Israel, where more terror is practised against them, such as solitary confinement and shackling in painful positions for long periods. The majority of these children are detained inside Israel in violation of Article 76 of the Fourth Geneva Convention. This inhumane treatment of children prompted an Investigation and Report by UNICEF in February 2013. The report found that each year approximately 700 Palestinian children aged 12 to 17, mainly boys, are arrested, interrogated and held captive by Israeli army, police and security agents. The majority are charged with throwing stones, an offence that carries a maximum penalty of ten years' imprisonment, or 20 years if thrown at a moving vehicle (six months maximum for a juvenile, 12-13 years). The usual process, as described in the UNICEF Report, is for the child to be aggressively awakened in the middle of the night by armed soldiers, and forcibly brought to an interrogation centre, tied and blindfolded, sleep-deprived and brought to a state of extreme fear. The transfer can take up to an entire day. Interrogation takes place in a police station (without a lawyer or family member present) using a mix of intimidation and threats. Child prisoners have been threatened with death, physical violence, solitary confinement and sexual assault, against themselves or a family member. Most children confess at the end of such interrogation. Some children have been held in solitary confinement, for a period ranging from two days up to one month before the court hearing. Children are generally brought before a military court in leg chains and shackles, wearing prison uniform. Most see their lawyers for the first time when they are brought to the court. UNICEF found that the practices described are in violation of international law. Israel’s toxic hazard weapon Israel has devised yet another technique designed to to drive Palestinians from their land and weaken their resolve to resist. It is a direct assault on their health that carries the menace of further agricultural and economic sabotage. For instance, activity at Israel's Barkan industrial complex generates growing quantities of polluting waste-water from the production of plastics, lead and other commodities that endanger human health. Pollution from Barkan flows into the streams that run through valleys where there are Palestinian farms as well as towns. Israeli Occupation settlements discharge their untreated waste to add to the pollution. This poisons Palestinian land, crops, farm animals and essential, if meagre, water supplies. Settlers – with Israeli Army assistance – release wild pigs, that reproduce rapidly, into Palestinian areas, spoiling agriculture and damaging olive trees, fencing and small buildings. The pigs cannot be controlled because Israel will not allow the people to own or use firearms, or even knives, to kill the pigs. Poison cannot be used because of the danger to Palestinian farm animals. 'Rubber bullets' The unqualified term 'rubber bullets' is misleading because it implies that ammunition is made solely of rubber. In fact there are two types of such bullets, both of which are made of steel with a minimal coating (1mm to 2mm) of either rubber or plastic. The medical journal The Lancet has published the results of medical examinations of victims wounded by rubber-coated steel bullets, coming to the conclusion that when firing this type of ammunition it is “impossible to avoid severe injuries to vulnerable body regions such as the head, neck and upper torso, leading to substantial mortality, morbidity and disability.” Tear gas – Israel's daily violations of the CWC Israel has signed, but refuses to ratify, the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). Tear gas riot control agents, including tear gas and pepper-spray, are banned in international warfare under both the 1925 Geneva Protocol and Article 1 of the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention. The CWC defines chemical weapons as “munitions and devices that are designed to cause death or other harm through toxic chemicals” that lead to “death, temporary incapacitation or permanent harm to humans or animals.” According to the CWC, “riot control agents” are any chemicals, not specifically named in their list of prohibited chemicals, that can cause humans to suffer rapid “sensory irritation or disabling physical effects which disappear within a short time following termination of exposure.” Belligerent military occupation by a foreign power is an act of war and when the Israeli Army fires tear gas grenades at Palestinian villagers in their homes or at protesters it is violating the CWC; the more so when standard weapons of war, such as live fire, accompany the use of tear gas. Persons blinded by tear gas cannot avoid live fire, rubber-coated bullets, stun grenades or military vehicles and bulldozers. But that is the reality for Palestinians living under Israeli military Occupation. Israeli Army military exercises force Palestinians out of their homes An example of this practice is contained in an International Women's Peace Service (IWPS) report on the Israeli Army's terrorising of a Bedouin community in the Jordan Valley. The report tells of a continual programme of Israeli military training in the village of ‘Atuf that traumatises the population. Every week 22 families, amounting to 172 individuals, are displaced from their homes from 4am to 5pm by Israeli military live-fire exercises. Since 1967 Israeli troops have been forcing the Bedouin people to leave their houses each week. Whole families and their livestock are displaced to outlying fields to the sound of gunfire and explosions. The entire area is designated “Area C” and there is a 'closed military zone' where nothing is allowed to be built or improved. A whole valley of fertile farmland lies uncultivated while the nearby Occupation settlement of Beqa constantly expands. In both ‘Atuf and Tamun countless houses have been demolished by the Israeli Army and many more are under demolition orders. Since 1970, 14 people have been killed and 30 have lost limbs due to exploding abandoned Israeli Army ordnance. The explosives can be as small as a pen, easily mistaken by children as harmless. The continual sound of explosions and gunfire results in many cases of psychological trauma, especially to children, and the only school in the district is within earshot of the weekly Israeli military exercises. Ethnic discrimination In addition to all of the above, Palestinians citizens of Israel as well as those living under occupation have to contend with more than 50 discriminatory Israeli laws. These affect all areas of life, including rights to political participation, access to land, education, state budget resources and criminal procedures. Some of the laws also violate the rights of refugees. Israeli Army violence The Israeli Occupation Army enforces many of the above restrictions with the threat, or actual use, of military action as well as personal physical assault. Thus, daily life for Palestinians is conducted in an all-pervasive atmosphere of violence and fear. The Prawer Plan The Israeli Knesset approved a plan which has since been suspended for the mass expulsion of the Arab Bedouin community in the Naqab (Negev) Desert in the south of Israel. If fully implemented, the Prawer Plan would have resulted in the destruction of 35 'unrecognised' Arab Bedouin villages with the forced displacement and dispossession of up to 70,000 Arab Bedouin citizens of Israel. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Leslie Bravery www.palestine.org.nz PHRC | Palestine Human Rights Campaign Aotearoa/New Zealand ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ See this In Occupied Palestine newsletter at: the PHRC website: www.palestine.org.nz - and you can check out previous editions by clicking on In Occupied Palestine listed under Contents ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Let us know if you no longer wish to receive these emails.
