Hebron: My Heart Breaks

Watching this clip put out by B'Tselem brought tears to my eyes. I visited Hebron back in 2009 and it still to this day remains one of the most depressing and upsetting places I have ever seen. Death to Arabs is written quiet frequently on the doors and walls one passes. In one spot, I saw that someone wrote Gas all Arabs. There are streets completely cut off from Palestinian use and others where they are forced to use their own sidewalks. In the Old Market, Palestinian shopkeepers have been forced to hang mesh netting from one side of the street to the other to avoid the garbage that the settler, who have taken over the building overhead, routinely throw on them.

How can people be so cruel to each other.

Please take the time to watch this.
