Ezra Nawi has been active for years in the area known as South Mt. Hebron. The Palestinians in this small desolate area in the very south of the West Bank have been under Israeli occupation for almost 42 years. No electricity. No running water. None of the basic services human beings need to survive. These Palestinians are continuously harassed by the Jewish settlers under watch by the zionist IDF in an effort to cleanse the area from its Palestinian inhabitants and create a new demographic reality in it. Nawi's case is not only about Nawi. It is also about Israel and Israeli society judged not by its own pronouncements, but by how it treats its human rights and pro-democracy activists.
