So Arrest Me As Well…

Ground Footage The continuous abuse of the Palestinian farmers of South Mount Hebron by the IDF and settlers is normal routine. First the IDF decrees a "Military closed zone" to stop farmers from reaching their lands - against legal guidelines of the government. Then IDF arrests the Israeli activists trying to help the farmers, while the settlers attack them. Last Saturday a group of activists (Taayush organization) attempted to help a shepherd. Minutes after arriving to the field the IDF arrived waving a "Closed Military Zone" decree. A map that was attached marked only a small area – the size of the shepherd's field. After declaring "five minutes for everyone to leave the field or be arrested" the commander changed his mind and immediately started arresting people. After the arrests the IDF left the field leaving us with the sheep to graze, it is as if they had an arrest quota, once filled they could not care less. Language:  Hebrew Subtitles:  English
