“Our people are afraid of the settlers” — Eyes of Resistance in Palestinian West Bank

. . .

Calling themselves “Eyes of Resistance,” since Monday they have patrolled the region in four cars, acting as a rapid response team to attend the scene of settler violence when a call is received.

Each car consists of a driver and two journalists who document the attacks whilst interviewing victims. Reports and images are uploaded to the internet at the end of each day. There is also a doctor within the team to respond to any medical needs of any victims.

Hussein said they receive regular phone calls with reports of farmers, people in villages and motorists being attacked – often through rock throwing.

Driving through the hilly countryside we reached the town of Assera and the home of Nahla Mahmoud Araf Utua. She stood at her front gate with an infant in her arms and a toddler at her feet. Several signs of the Star of David had been painted on the side of her house.

. . .

She said there had been five arson attacks on her home when Molotov cocktails were thrown at her back door.

“We put the bars up because the Israeli military sometimes shot tear gas into our home,” she said. “When the army comes they help the settlers and throw gas bombs at me and my kids.”
