HEBRON, West Bank Arriving aboard a tour bus, accompanied by a former Israeli machine-gunner turned human rights activist, an international delegation of pretty famous writers came to the heart of this old city to see for themselves how 850 hardcore Jewish settlers, protected by 650 young Israeli soldiers, live among 200,000 angry Palestinians.
The writers didnt like what they saw.
The settlers didnt like the writers much either, especially their hosts.
The Israeli military occupation is the most grievous injustice I have seen in my life, Michael Chabon, the American author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, told the Forward, a Jewish newspaper, a day after seeing Hebron.

(58,724 posts)The way they treat the Palestinians in and around their neighborhood is shameful. And with the protection of the Israeli military and the blessings of the current Israeli government. Unacceptable. The more attention brought to this, the better.
