Israel and Palestine - Social and Political Unrest

There are various filling stations that provide the only irrigation and drinking water for a cluster of villages. In order to get to these filling stations Palestinians must cross through a series of roads and checkpoints that may or may not be allowing them to cross on a certain day according to Israel's own personal agenda. For the people of Palestine what once took just a few minutes by foot or vehicle has now stretched into hours of stand still waiting. .
             Perhaps the most horrifying aspect of the occupation however is the physical and emotional abuse and damage Palestinians encounter daily from the settlers who are living on what used to be their land. Some areas, such as Tel Rumeida in Hebron, are so harsh that Israeli journalist Gideon Levy believes it should be mandatory for all Israeli schoolchildren to witness it. "Here is where their state's violent and law-flaunting backyard," he writes. "There is no neighborhood like this one. Not a day passes without violence, not an hour passes without the throwing of stones, garbage and feces at the frightened neighbors cowering in their barricaded houses, afraid even to peek out the window. Neighbors whose way home is always a path of torment and anxiety. All of this is happening right under the noses of the soldiers and police, representatives of the legal authorities, who merely stand by." .
             Palestinians have suffered through this humiliation and loss regularly since the start of this occupation till this day, where just a few days ago on October 13th, Israeli airstrikes killed two Palestinian militants in Gaza. Everyone is subject to this abuse, not withholding small children starting at the age of 12 (the age one is no longer considered a child in the West Bank) to 18 who are arrested for various minor or unfounded acts against the Israeli army. This is so incredible common that in 2000-2005, the number of Palestinian children under the age of 18 who were arrested by the Israeli army in occupied territories amounted to 3,500, with that number increasing as the years progressed.
