Reageer (0)bah, volwassenen die kinderen met wapens bedreigen! (H.)
For years, armed adult settlers have attacked, threatened and harassed the children along the path from Tuba to Tuwani (south Hebron Hills), while on their way to school. Settler violence against Palestinian school children under Israeli military escort, has been reported on by the Christian Peacemaker Teams and Operation Dove.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?
1-
Internationals now request that concerned people make calls to the Communications office of the Southern District Commander of the Israeli Military. It is an Israeli phone number, ( country code 972) 2 996 7200.
Please ask Commander BenMoha to instruct the soldiers who perform the escort of the Tuba and Magaher-al-Abeed school children to accompany the children all the way past the Ma'on chicken barns and past any settlers present. Please stress that this is particularly necessary because of the repeated presence of settlers in this area at the time of the children's walk home, and remind the commander that settlers used violence against the school children on fourteen occasions in the 07-08 school year and on two occasions during the current school year.

In addition to phone calls, Operation Dove and CPT ask that people send the IDF Public Appeals office a simple message. This is very easy to use.

Please include Commander BenMoha's name in the subject line.
Sample message below: (no more than 75 words)
Subject: Request to Commander BenMoha
Palestinian school children from Tuba and Magaher-al-abeed must walk past militant settlers from Ma'on and Havat Ma'on to attend school in At-Tuwani. The Knesset recommended in 2004 that the IDF escort these children. Currently soldiers refuse to escort the children far enough to ensure their safety. In order to do so they must accompany the children all the way past the MaÂ’on chicken barns and past any settlers present.

Lets make these phone calls and send the messages so that they know, their crimes are not going unnoticed.
Please post widely and urge others to call or submit the message via web.
