Lock down the West Bank – while we “deal with” Iran

JVL Introduction

Our attention is diverted to Israel’s attack on Iran and Iran’s retaliation but people are still being killed in Gaza and as Israel attacked Iran it put the West Bank on lockdown, swinging shut those big yellow gates to block off towns, villages and hamlets, making movement even more difficult than usual for Palestinians – but as straightforward as usual for those Israelis living in the illegal settlements.

The lockdown has no end date and is already causing delays to ambulances and much more. 40,000 have already been evicted from homes in Jenin and Tulkarm Camps, who and where are next?

The original article also has two very  short videos that you may find interesting.
