South of Hebron with Taayush - Saturday 11th of June 2011

6h30 in the morning.
Asaf and Emi jumped in a bus to the south of Hebron for different actions together with Taayush and others volunteers.
Taayush is based in Jerusalem : "Israelis & Palestinians striving together to end the Israeli occupation and to achieve full civil equality through daily non-violent direct-action"
 If you wanna know more got to  http://www.taayush.org/

The trip to go there reveiled a beautiful paysage.

We first step in a village in the mountain called Um el Khir where a settlement called Carmel had build its fences in front of the doors of this Palestinian village there. Nowadays, people are afraid to shepherd their sheep because of daily settlers "interactions" to push them back. We escorted the flock in the mountains.

After this, we went in some mountains facing Sosya, in order to help other sheep flock to reach a water point on Israeli army control.Here was basically waiting together with soldiers and sleeping under the sun.

We finally ended in a location where the Israeli army destroy Palestinian tents and condemned their water points. Family there are really depend on those water points.
What happened is that they stock water inside huge water tank that they out inside a huge hole down the ground. The army put some stones and earth inside for those family to move out of the area.
We worked on one hole that had been filled up 2 times already.
 So we spend 2 hours digging again.

What a sad and stupid game.

This all trip keep on informed me on what happened on this complex land.
