Anne Paq writing from Hebron, occupied West Bank, Live from Palestine, 14 July 2008
"On 27 June, I took part in one of the regular tours of the West Bank city of Hebron and its settlements organized by the organization Breaking the Silence. Breaking the Silence is a group of Israeli army soldiers and veterans who work to expose the injustice of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Once more, the tour was disrupted because of the settlers......
As Yehuda said in his introduction, "What you will see in Hebron is a laboratory." If he means that the Hebron model in which the illegal colonizing of the land continues, it is at the expense of the Palestinians who have lived there for hundreds of years and will be forced out of their homeland. Let us hope that the future will prove him wrong because as long as the settlements continue to occupy Palestinian land and settlers are given free reign to terrorize the local population, then there can be no peace in Israel/Palestine, no solution, and no future for the Palestinians apart from becoming ghosts in their own country."
