The #settlers, who brought attack dogs with them, confronted #nonviolent protesters and those there to document them.
Since the attack against the Mur family, the family and those standing in #solidarity with them have faced countless threats against demonstrating and publicizing what is happening in South #Hebron.
This is what makes attacks against tactics like #BDS particularly vile—just as people’s right to freedom of speech is clamped down upon in the West Bank, our allies abroad are also being silenced and having their tools of #resistance stripped from them.

Late last night, approximately 150 #Israeli#settlers gathered in the small #Palestinian hamlet of Tawamin, located near to the Israeli #settlement of Susiah. They came to assault and force the Mur family out of the cave they live on in their lands in Tawamin.
The Mur family that lives on their #land in order to protect it constantly from local settlers. For many years, the family has faced #settler#violence in the form of tree uprootings and physical threats and assaults, all in attempt to remove this family from their lands.
The family was forced out of their home late night by a huge crowd of settlers and left out in the cold for several hours before they were finally able to take back their home.
@AndrewYang is just another example of a politician who doesn’t get it. Why should New Yorkers elect someone who sees one of the strongest tactics of #economic#resistance as similar to anti-Semitic violence?
Why would you trust someone who would suggest that the use of a #boycott (prominently featured in American & global #history to topple #racist regimes) is a racist & fascist tactic?
That is someone who wants to take your power away.
#Palestinians are first, because we’re an easy target. But if you think it stops there, you need to learn from #history. The #US has tried to target & outlaw #boycotts for a long, long time.
