11. So what actions are you taking to stop the
persecution of the Palestinian residents (men, women, children) in Hebron, besides questioning my use of phrases (which i don't think helps anyone)?

For myself, i am supporting the internationals to go there, heavily armed with:
Video cameras
cell phones
notepads
laptop computers

and most of all, incredible courage (only exceeded by the courage and steadfastness of the Palestinians themselves) who have to face the threat of violence every day.

All this so the Internationals can tell the world what is happening. This has been occuring in Hebron for years and years, and only because of the fact that these internationals are there is now suddenly condemnation and supposed shame on the part of Israeli authorities. Maybe this talk will lead to action? I am not holding my breath. I think the Israeli authorities, for the most part, see a Public Relations problem, and it just can be dealt with in press releases.

Nothing will be done to offend the settlers. At best, there may be some token arrests.
