The Creating Safer Space project ‘Safety and dignity: Enhancing unarmed civilian protection amongst Palestinian communities in the South Hebron Hills’ has published an article in Rethinking Security, Weaponising Sheep: Israeli settler colonialism in the South Hebron Hills. The article is written by project co-investigator Andrew Rigby.
While media attention has focused on devastating Israeli military raids on Jenin and Nablus and land expropriations in East Jerusalem, the article shows how a slower burning form of violence is being perpetrated by settlers against Palestinian herders in the West Bank, seeking to gain control of their land and livelihoods.
