Friend --
Over 200 times each month, a Palestinian home is raided by Israeli security forces -- usually in the middle of the night as families are sleeping.
The military law that governs Palestinians in the West Bank does not require warrants. Often, soldiers enter homes, take photographs of the dwelling and leave without providing an explanation to the traumatized family.
Here in the United States, politicians quibble over the term “occupation” and right-wing think tanks concoct elaborate explanations for why the term does not apply to the situation in the West Bank. But for the Palestinians who experience these invasions, it is not an abstract concept. It is a daily lived reality which penetrates every facet of life -- even the privacy of the home.
On Thursday, January 28, we invite you to join an interactive virtual program on the practice of home invasions, featuring leading Israeli human rights activists who’ve collected testimonies from Israeli soldiers and Palestinian families. They’ll detail the pervasiveness of these raids, the role they play in exerting control over Palestinians living under occupation and the psychological toll on those impacted.

This event is sponsored by the New Israel Fund and co-sponsored by J Street, Americans for Peace Now, Foundation for Middle East Peace, IfNotNow, Oxfam America, Partners for Progressive Israel, Solidarity of Nations -- Achvat Amim and T'ruah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights.
We hope you’ll join us for this special event. It will be an opportunity to gain a better understanding of the realities of the occupation and to learn more about the Israeli activists working to defend human rights and secure a more just and peaceful future for all.
Best,
Christine Beresniova
