I say #NoToAnnexation of settlements in Palestine because as a former Ecumenical Accompanier with @EAPPI I’ve witnessed the devastating impact of military occupation in Palestine that will be made permanent through annexation. Settlements are illegal and should not be normalized.

I say NO to the Israeli government’s plans to annex large parts of occupied Palestine because it violates international law and would make permanent 53 years of occupation that has perpetuated devastating human rights violations like the ones I witnessed in Hebron.

I witnessed children having to navigate their way to school through checkpoints/past heavily armed soldiers/past settlements and settlement outpost, facing the daily uncertainty of not knowing whether they will arrive without problems like harassment, physical violence or arrest

I witnessed people waiting for hours in challenging conditions at checkpoints to pass from one part of the West Bank to another. According to the UN there are more than 700 obstacles today inside the West Bank that hinder Palestinian movement.

I say #NoToAnnexation in Palestine because I stand on the side of international law and human rights. Please join the campaign and use the hashtag #NoToAnnexation.
