Israel to Deport Activists Who Joined West Bank Olive Harvest in Solidarity with Palestinians
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Israeli forces have intensified raids across the occupied West Bank,
storming villages near Jenin and Ramallah. Separately, Israeli settlers
stormed a Bedouin village east of Jerusalem, destroying Palestinian
property and blocking roads. In another incident, Israeli settlers cut
down hundreds of olive trees near Nablus. The settler attacks came as
Israeli authorities said they would deport two Jewish women who recently
joined Palestinians harvesting olives. In a statement, the group Rabbis
for Human Rights said, "The decision to deport these volunteers reflects
an alarming trend of silencing nonviolent human rights work and Jewish
voices for justice in Israel-Palestine."
