Israeli Border Police Ready with Teargas

Pictured here: School children passing through this checkpoint regularly face teargas and sound grenades fired by the Israeli military in response to stones thrown by a few youths.

Israeli Settlers celebrate the end of Sukkot  

Pictured here: These settlers, whose settlements are illegal under International Law, danced and sang up and down Shuhada Street.  Military orders prevent Palestiniansfrom walking on Shuhada Street, although it is the main street in the Old City of Hebron. During Jewish festivals the movement restrictions on Palestinians and checkpoint closures increase.

Septermber Supper Fundraiser

Will you host a dinner party for CPT?

CPT really needs your support in raising $10k in September. Unfortunately, we are behind our financial targets and need your help. We want to dedicate the month of September to bringing people together around the dinner table. You can choose the date, who you invite and what you cook (though our teams have some great recipes prepared!) We’d love to hear if you’d be interested. 

There’s no commitment needed at this stage.
