the Qaysiya family, friends, and activists walked
up to the family land, the IDF created a blockade
and ordered them to go back. They refused. The
army would not let them pass, declaring it a
closed military zone. A standoff ensued. The image

the world's attention drifts from the assault on
Gaza, the rapidly accelerating seizure of
Palestinian land in the West Bank continues in the
hidden background, reshaping conditions on the
ground and pushing a political settlement to the
conflict further away.</p>
<p
style="color: rgb(54, 55, 55); font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 20px 0;">The
Qaysiya family isn't leaving without a fight, and
their determined stand has drawn the support of
some Israelis and Western activists, who are now
putting their bodies on the line to slow the
rampage of Israeli settlers.</p>
<p
style="color: rgb(54, 55, 55); font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 20px 0;">The
Qaysiya family has gone to court numerous times to
try and assert legal protection over the property,
only to see those claims ignored on the ground by
settler activists guarded by Israeli soldiers. The
settlers recently began arriving on her family
property with weapons as part of the confiscation
effort. Drop Site News put together the following
account based on interviews with the Qaysiya
family and witnesses to the stand-off, backed up
by video of the resulting violence.</p>
<p
style="color: rgb(54, 55, 55); font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 20px 0;">“This
is the last green area in Bethlehem and they are
planning to take it. We have been sleeping here in
tents since they demolished our house, but we
cannot leave since we know that if we do they will
take it from us,” Qaysiya told Drop Site. “They
took advantage of the war, while the media was
busy, and they thought if they did this now it
would not create media pressure.”</p>

<p
style="color: rgb(54, 55, 55); font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 20px 0;">A
number of representatives from the group
Combatants for Peace, a mixed group of former
Israeli and Palestinian
combatants-turned-solidarity-activists have
attempted to physically block settlers from
displacing the Qaysiya family from their property.
In recent days armed soldiers have arrested
demonstrators or physically coerced them off the
site. Meanwhile, more settlers have arrived, who
have vandalized the Qaysiya's remaining property,
including a statue of the Virgin Mary owned by the
family that was found smashed at the site.</p>
<p
style="color: rgb(54, 55, 55); font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 20px 0;">In
videos from the property shared with Drop Site,
groups of settlers, guarded by IDF soldiers, can
be seen mocking the family and activists who have
come to defend them, while trying to break into a
gate surrounding their land.</p>
<p
style="color: rgb(54, 55, 55); font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 20px 0;">The
war in Gaza has drawn the bulk of international
attention in the Middle East since it began last
October. Yet the conflict has also triggered a
more intense campaign of violence and displacement
in the West Bank, where Israeli settlers, often
supported by the military, are waging a campaign
to drive out Palestinian landholders by force and
expand their footprint over territory allocated by
international law to a future Palestinian state.</p>
<p
style="color: rgb(54, 55, 55); font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 20px 0;">Palestinians
in tents are little obstacle for Israeli settlers,
but the addition of Western solidarity activists
to the mix has heightened the global stakes of the
confrontation. An American passport, however, is
no protection from violence at the hands of the
IDF or its settler allies.</p>

<p
style="color: rgb(54, 55, 55); font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 20px 0;">Last
Friday, Amado Sison, an activist from New Jersey
with the solidary group Faz3a, joined fellow
demonstrators near the West Bank village of Beita.
In an interview with Drop Site after being
discharged from the hospital, Sison said he was
taking part in a “protective presence” exercise
aimed at defending Palestinian citizens living in
the West Bank from settler and military violence.
“The Palestinians were holding a rally and doing
chants, when Israeli soldiers at a nearby outpost
started shooting tear gas and aiming weapons at
us," said Sison. "This was only my second
demonstration, but some of the more experienced
demonstrators shouted that live rounds were being
fired and everyone began to run."</p>
<p
style="color: rgb(54, 55, 55); font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 20px 0;">Sison
and others ran from the gunfire into a nearby
olive grove. It was then that he felt a “blunt
impact” in the back of his leg. He initially
thought he had been hit by a tear gas canister. It
turned out to have been a live bullet, which
entered his thigh and exited from the front of his
leg. In video of the incident taken by Anthony C.,
an activist with Faz3a, and provided to Drop Site,
a group of protesters and local Palestinians can
be seen screaming as they attempt to carry a
wounded Sison to safety after the shooting.</p>

Pollak, an Israeli volunteer who was at the scene
of the shooting, described it as an unprovoked
attack on fleeing protesters by IDF soldiers. “The
soldiers attacked with tear gas and concussion
grenades, before moving on to live ammunition,”
Pollak said. “They chased the demonstrators into a
nearby olive grove, which is where Amado was shot.
He was hit in the back of the thigh. He was shot
while his back was to the soldiers.”</p>

shooting. "We are greatly concerned when any U.S.
citizen is harmed overseas and work to provide
consular assistance. We reiterate our advice to
U.S. citizens to reconsider travel to the West

being shot, Sison was treated and discharged from

that struck his thigh, a dangerous place to be

able to walk with the aid of crutches and is

<p
style="color: rgb(54, 55, 55); font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 20px 0;">But
analysts say that at present these polices are not
nearly enough – especially as the settler movement
is no longer a fringe but now backed directly by
powerful Israeli government officials, including
the current Israeli Minister of National Security,
Itamar Ben-Gvir.</p>
<p
style="color: rgb(54, 55, 55); font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 20px 0;">"The
permission structure that allows these kinds of
attacks comes from the most senior ranks of the
Israeli government. Ministers like Itamar Ben-Gvir
and [Finance Minister] Bezalel Smotrich have made
no secret of their support for annexing the West
Bank and their backing of settlers who aim to do
so through piecemeal violence, home by home," said
Sara Haghdoosti, Executive Director of Win Without
War, a DC-based foreign policy advocacy group. "It
is good that the Biden administration has created
and used tools to sanction people responsible for
settler violence in the West Bank, but it is not
enough. The longer Ben-Gvir and Smotrich continue
receiving tacit US support, the more right wing
settlers will see their attacks as being well
worth the small cost they’ve paid thus far."</p>

his part, Sison says that despite being shot by
the IDF while attempting to resist the
settlement project, he will not be deterred from
participating in future protective presence
actions aimed at defending Palestinians from
violence. He brought up numerous recent cases
where Palestinian children have been able to use
playgrounds and farmers have been able cultivate
their lands thanks to the presence of foreign
and Israeli volunteers acting as a buffer
between Palestinians, settlers, and IDF
soldiers. These efforts have often come at great
personal risk to the activists themselves, who

retaliation for violent attacks targeting
Americans elsewhere in the region, there has
been near radio silence over a steady drumbeat
of violence incidents that have affected U.S.
citizens in the West Bank at the hands of the
Israeli military or settler groups. That
selective interest and concern by the U.S.
government over violence targeting its own
citizens has frustrated Sison.</span></p>
<p
style="color: rgb(54, 55, 55); font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 20px 0;">“Biden
has said that if any U.S. citizen is attacked, we
will respond,” he said. “Yet there have been
multiple times now where this hasn’t been the
case.”</p>
<p
style="color: rgb(54, 55, 55); font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 20px 0;">The
violence in the West Bank looks set to escalate,
as international attention remains focused on the
war in Gaza and fear of the conflict spreading to
Lebanon and Iran. That distraction has proven to
be a boon for the settler movement, which has also
been emboldened by support from powerful members
of the Israeli government.</p>
<p
style="color: rgb(54, 55, 55); font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 20px 0;">Qaysiya,
the Bethlehem resident under threat from settlers,
said she fears that it is only a matter time
before they are forced to give up property that
they have held in their family for years. Even
children have gotten involved.</p>
<p
style="color: rgb(54, 55, 55); font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 20px 0; margin-bottom: 0;">“There
are young settler kids also coming who are only
around 12 years old with knives and guns,” Qaysiya
said. “It is really something shameful that these
settler organizations are using these kids,
telling them they will be rewarded and taking
advantage of them.”</p>
