For the past three months the Israel Defense Forces have prohibited farmers from the West Bank Palestinian village of Aqraba from reaching their farmland and seasonal homes in the area, on the grounds that they are in a live-fire range. However, Givat 777, an auxiliary outpost of the Itamar settlement, is located in the same firing range.

This behavior has existed for decades, just a month ago my family went through the same thing; they tried to plow the land around the olive trees, and they were met by armed Israeli settlers. My uncle was beat, and sent to the hospital, while the Israeli Police just stared. The Israeli IDF is not in anyway moral or just; not by international law, not by god, and not by common sense.
thank you
