Disregard of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Discrimination

Violations

Intimidation of Children

Pictured here: Palestinian children making their way to school were stopped and questioned by Israeli Border Police. This not only hindered children from reaching their school, but also served as an intimidation tactic, with the Border Police making their presence felt.

Illegal Rebuild

Pictured here: The illegal ‘Synagogue Tent’, built on Palestinian land opposite Kiryat Arba settlement, shows signs of further building work and reinforcement. Despite being declared an illegal structure by the Israeli High Court and being removed twice, settlers continue to rebuild the structure. The location of the ‘Synagogue Tent’ is highly strategic, being placed between the illegal Kiryat Arba and Givat Ha’avot settlements, which would facilitate in linking them together.

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.
