Every day, Palestinian families in vulnerable rural communities face harassment, attacks, and the risk of being forced from their land.

Unarmed Civilian Protection in Palestine teams stand with them.
Through protective presence, monitoring, and documentation, trained civilian protectors help deter violence and ensure that communities are not left alone in the face of intimidation.

Your support helps keep protectors in the field, accompanying shepherds, documenting violations, and supporting communities struggling to remain on their land. Communities like Ras al-Auja, where families fear they may be the next to be displaced.

This work is only possible because of people like you.

Please support civilian protection in Palestine.

Southern Jordan Valley, Palestine.

Settler violence has escalated since the Iran/Israel war. This video shows how that violence is deliberately trained and normalized.

In the southern Jordan Valley, figures like Avishai Horowitz lead groups of teenagers, modeling tactics of boundary erosion to turn them into perpetrators. The pattern is methodical: they circle Palestinian homes, invade the space, and confront residents at close range with fabricated claims.

These acts assert impunity and prepare for escalation.

Through daily repetition, youth are conditioned into aggression and mobilized as a civilian paramilitary force, backed by state systems. This force is a key mechanism in the ongoing ethnic cleansing of the West Bank.

Amira Musallam leads a movement to shield civilians from violence without weapons. But the environment surrounding that work has grown more volatile as the regional war widens and the situation in the West Bank deteriorates.

Devastated by the ethnic cleansing of Ras ‘Ein al ‘Auja, our team remains in the area. They are providing a protective presence to remaining communities in the Jordan Valley. 

The perpetrators responsible for the ethnic cleansing are still around and about, looking for other communities to displace. Like all groups whose ideology is about expansionism and power, they cannot be satiated. 

 In the last few weeks, we provided a protective presence in the greater Auja village, Ein-Dyook, El Fasail, Astih and Tel-alesmadee. We have responded to settlers’ pogroms, settlers building outposts, daily encroachments and harassments, and military and police who arrive at the scene to whitewash or assist the settlers’ violence.
