Machsom - Israeli women peace activists

Not all Israelis are bad. Machsom is an organisation of Israeli women peace activists who amongst other things, monitor the border crossings between the occupied Territories and Israel.

At their site there are a number of articles which highlight Israeli injustices against Palestinians.

One such example is that of Saddam, a 20-year-old Palestinian who has a mental age of only 3. He was detained for no legitimate reason with 3 other Palestinians. All four were released individually at different remote locations and had to make their own way back to their homes. Saddam wasn't found until the following day, when he was picked up by the Palestinian police.

Such examples of inhumanity perpetrated by the Israeli authorities are not unusual, more are catalogued at the links in this article.
