Thursday, February 19: Protective Presence in the West Bank: A Panel With Three Volunteers
Christ Presbyterian Church, 944 E. Gorham Street, Madison 7 pm
Jewish Voice for Peace Madison invites you to a panel with three people who returned recently from standing with Palestinians in the West Bank and documenting human rights violations and land grabs by Israeli settlers and soldiers. While all eyes are, justifiably, on Gaza, Palestinians in the West Bank are being killed, injured, displaced and harassed by Israeli settlers and soldiers. Between October 7, 2023, and December 2025, over 1,000 Palestinians were killed there, including over 220 children. More than 10,000 people have been injured due to direct violence. Roughly 10,000 to 13,500 Palestinians, including children, have been arrested by Israeli forces in the West Bank during that time.
Americans Ziv Scher, Brenna Cussen and Eli Newell will share their recent experiences witnessing the horrific conditions in which West Bank Palestinians live. MRSCP member Cassandra Dixon, who has provided accompaniment to West Bank schoolchildren and shepherding families since 2005, will offer opening remarks. There will be time for Q&A after the presentations. More information including speaker bios and zoom link here.
