en vrac














action in Tamun.


if you go towards the settlement, army may shoot you, even if you have your field nearby...










fire put on by settlers in Bureen.

100 settlers came : put fire on palestinian fields, throwed stoned at palestinian houses.
Army intervened, threw teargas in Palestinian houses, prevented palestinian farmers to estinguish the fire on their lands.









settlers harassing an israeli activist in Hebron.

We have been violently prevented to access the old city, despite all the authorizations we had. Neither the army nor the police was willing to enforce law...

apartheid in the desert

If you are a Bedouin in the Jordan valley, it may mean that you leave in a tent with almost nothing, in a desertic area. You may depend on any water supply to maintain a few crops and provide the necessary for your family and cattle.

















But if you are Bedouin under Israeli occupation you may not be allowed to dig a well, you may not be allowed to access the existing water supply system. You may even not be allowed to live on your land and your tent may be demolished, by a buldozer.

an oasis in the desert? just one more israeli settlement

A few hundred meters away, your ‘neighbours’ have permanent water supply, trees, quantity of green houses producing vegetables for exportation....of course it is an israeli settlement.



Abu Adam, infatigable political converser, welcomed us in his tent. He already suffered demolition several times but still persist and remains in his land.
















In a close village from the same area, tap water has been locked, no tap water for palestinians...who can still deny this is apartheid???

farmers without fields

Today I visited Qaffin village. People explained us how the wall separate the village from their fields.
2 gates have been installed to allow farmers to pass. what a kind attention... The reality is that one of the gate has been closed for the last 5 years. The other one obliges farmers to a 2 hours walk, (if ever they have permit). Israelian army opens the gate 2 or 3 times a week for a few hours. What a kind attention...

the never-ending fence, Qaffin


Yesterday a fire burnt hundreds of their olive trees. Who put the fire? we will never know. But we know that neither the farmers nor palestinians firemens were able to reach the land and estinguish the fire. Farmers could only wait and look from the other side their main source of income burning.
Last week, Fatia went to her crop on the "very palestinian" side of the fence with her 3 young kids. She had to run away, the soldiers pointing at her with their guns.

We went to one of the gate. Soldiers seeing our camaras inmediatly came and tried to prevent us to take pictures. Would they have something to be ashamed of?


at least this time they did not throw tear gas, just lies
