Someone just reminded me of photos from the ‘National Unity Friday’ demonstration in 2015 in Susya. We used to dream of achieving national unity; we used to dream that the Palestinian people would join our peaceful resistance. 1/3

Thank you to the Jordanian security services for their swift response; we hope they will continue to crack down on the black market and place the booking system under the control of a security agency subject to strict oversight. 1/3

New “Blue Roads” have appeared in Hebron, including near my home, marked as open exclusively to Israelis. Restricting access to roads based on national identity is institutionalized segregation, not security. 1/2
