Sign the Petition: We Can End Settler Violence

Palestinian families should be able to live on their land, harvest their crops, and go about their lives without fear of attack.

But across the West Bank, extremist settlers are using violence and intimidation to make that increasingly impossible.

During the olive harvest this month, masked settlers descended on Palestinian farmers in Abu Falah, setting olive groves on fire and attacking residents and activists. Washington Post photographer Heidi Levine, who was clearly wearing press credentials, was brutally beaten and hospitalized.

And Abu Falah is not an isolated incident.

Palestinian communities across the West Bank face attacks on their homes and property, harassment while accessing their land, and violence during the olive harvest. Too often, those responsible face little accountability.

This cannot become normal.

We demand an end to settler violence and impunity in the West Bank. Israeli authorities must protect Palestinian communities, hold perpetrators of violence accountable, and ensure that Palestinians can safely access their homes, land, and livelihoods.

Add your name to stand with everyone working for a future where Palestinians and Israelis alike can live in safety and dignity.
