Checkpoint Watch: Testimonies from Occupied Palestine - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This is a critical exploration of Israel's curfew-closure-policy in the Occupied Palestinian Territories through the eyes of Checkpoint Watch, an organisation of Israeli women monitoring human rights abuses. It combines observers' reports from checkpoints and along the Separation Wall, with information and ysis of the bureaucracy supporting the ongoing occupation and the wider project of ethnic-cleansing. It critically reviews Checkpoint Watch's transformation from a feminist, radical protest movement and yses Israeli media representation of the organisation and of human rights activism in general. The author contends that the dilemmas that women activists face, torn between opposition to the occupation and loyalty to the state, reflect political divisions within Israel society as a whole.
