machsom watch are an Israeli organisation run by women.
They call for a stop to the oppression that is destroying both the prospect of a Palestinian state and the future of Israel.
Machsom Watch monitor the human rights abuses at checkpoints, often present with a clipboard, camera and video camera to document what may occur at such points of exchange.
This video shows what one man must go through almost every time he passes a checkpoint, due ot his ID card being 'similar' to a suspected criminal.
A friend of mine from Burin told me that a week ago he had been held Huwara check point- the very same one in this video and the very same one that we passed through on our journeys to and from Nablus. He was detained for many hours until his father was brought to argue for his release.
More videos by machsom watch can be found here.
They include checkpoints, testimonials, tours, demonstrations and an act of arson in the frield of Burin.

The olive harvest 2009
We are a collective of individuals who chose to spend two weeks of October 2009 in the olive fields of Burin and Madama, in the Nablus District of the West Bank, Palestine. This page is a tool for the group to store information, events and occurrences that are related to our visit and to show support for and document development internationally towards the establishment of a Palestinian state.
