"It is essential that the Israeli Embassy know that many Americans, both Jewish and non-Jewish, are aware of this criminal action and are demanding that it change," Morrison said."
"a central hub for everyone in the community, men, women and children"
"nonviolent co-resistance work."
Progressive Bay Area Jewish groups have maintained close ties with the Palestinian village of Umm al-Khair for nearly ten years, providing support, facilitating faith-based cultural exchanges and raising awareness about settler violence. Israeli government and military personnel delivered 13 demolition orders and one stop-work order to Umm al-Khair, targeting a community center, its playground, 11 homes and a greenhouse while pausing construction on a new house. The community center functions as a central hub for men, women and children. Kehilla and the Center for Jewish Nonviolence organized delegations for nonviolent co-resistance work and continue monthly Zoom meetings with village residents. Two primary village contacts, Eid Al-Hathaleen and his cousin Awdah, were invited to the United States earlier in the year and were detained at San Francisco International Airport despite holding visitor visas.
