Looking the Occupation in the Eye is a group of law-abiding people, who care about human rights and the future of our country. We belong to the left wing of the political and social spectrum in Israel and act in order to put an end to the occupation. We take part in events, sometimes collaborating with other organizations, to stop violation of human rights of the Palestinian population, by being present in the occupied territories.
As we are wandering around in Judea and Samaria, the Jordan Valley and East Jerusalem, we are witnessing severe violations of human rights, destruction of property, physical and emotional abuse, denial of the right to make a living, denial of freedom of movement, denial of freedom of expression and denial of the right to equality, when facing the justice system.
Our sole purpose is clear – We wish to raise awareness and expose the public to the reality in the territories, the way we witness it, without the filtering of the media. We are trying to make people look the occupation in the eye, and reach as many people as possible, especially those who choose to turn a blind eye, keep silent, and ignore what is going on.
