| Palestinian forces in Jerusalem declare civil disobedience against Israel |
| 2023-02-19 |
| [AlAhram] The Paleostinian national and Islamic forces in occupied Jerusalem declared their intention to observe civil disobedience, starting Sunday early morning, in protest of the Israeli repression measures against Paleostinians in the city and the rest of the occupied territories. The forces said in a press statement that the civil disobedience measures include calling on Paleostinian workers not to go to their workplaces in Israel, refusing to pay taxes to the Israeli authorities and the Israeli municipality of Jerusalem, closing the road leading to the Shuafat camp checkpoint, and closing the entrance to Anata town. The civil disobedience comes in response to the daily crimes of the Israeli occupation government against our people in Jerusalem and the rest of the occupied territories, including extrajudicial killings, arrests, and home demolitions, reported WAFA news agency. It also comes against the backdrop of the almost daily Israeli police and military raids on the Paleostinian refugee camp of Shuafat, in occupied Jerusalem, and the adjoining town of Anata. In Hebron, a Paleostinian child was injured in an attack on Saturday by hardcore Israeli settlers, guarded by army, on vehicles and homes in the Old City, south of the occupied West Bank, according to local sources. WAFA correspondent said scores of armed Israeli settlers embarked on a rampage attacking Paleostinians’ homes and vehicles at Shuhada Street in the Old City, injuring a Paleostinian child, Emran Jaber. The child was hospitalized as a result. The rampaging settlers also attacked and vandalized several parked vehicles before an Israeli army force arrived at the scene to secure their way back. Confrontations erupted between the Israeli occupation forces and local Paleostinian residents in the aftermath of the attack. Israeli settler fanatics also shouted profanities at Paleostinians as they passed through the Israeli military checkpoint at Shuhada Street in Hebron’s Old City, threatening them with forced displacement and with more assaults. The city of Hebron is home to roughly 200,000 Paleostinians and about 800 notoriously aggressive Israeli settlers who live in colonial compounds in the heart of the city, heavily guarded by Israeli troops. In February 2019, Israel expelled the only international monitors protecting Hebron’s Paleostinians from the 800 heavily guarded settlers, one of whom committed the 1994 massacre that triggered their deployment. |

| #1 When were they ever obedient? This is like my kids declaring that they refuse to clean their rooms. |
