Tomorrow! Toronto demands justice for Awdah and the village of Um Al Kheir. We will stand with the women in their hunger strike until they see their demands met!

[Breaking the Silence @BtSIsrael]

This morning, we arrived at the Supreme Court to demand the burial of Awdah Al-Hathalin and justice for Umm al-Kheir.
The state requested, and the hearing has been delayed. Our friend's body remains in the hands of the state, and the abuse of the family and community continues.

TODAY: Demonstration in front of the Supreme Court in Jerusalem for the return of the body of Palestinian activist Awdah al-Hathaleen. Awdah was murdered by an Israeli settler. While the murder walks free, many of Awdah's family members were arrested, and his body is held hostage by the military. This is the reality of the Israeli apartheid, of its disregard to human life and its continued ethnic cleansing of Palestine.

Israel is killing 28 Palestinian children a day – the size of a classroom – through bombardment, malnutrition and starvation

and by targeting schools, hospitals, homes and shelters.

Over 18,000 children – approximately one child every hour – have been killed since the start of Israel's siege in October 2023.

Israel holds Awdah Hathaleen’s body. His killer roams freely through his village

On hunger strike to demand his return, Umm Al-Khair's women can't even sleep undisturbed as the army detains the village's men in nightly raids.

Israeli authorities are refusing to release the body of Awdah Hathaleen for burial after he was shot dead last week by a settler. The decision has plunged the entire West Bank village into a surreal state of mourning without closure.

Palestinian activist Odeh Hadalin was shot dead by an Israeli settler in the West Bank last Monday.

“No Other Land” co-director @basel_adra says Hadalin “dreamed for a beautiful future” before he was killed.

CIJA was denied participation in the Montreal Pride Parade because it "spreads hateful discourse.”

The Zionist lobby is toxic. Everyone knows it. Without bought support, they would have zero allies.

Since Thursday, more than 60 women have been on hunger strike in Umm al Khair to demand the return of the body of Awdah Hathaleen.

On Thursday, July 31st, more than 60 women in the Palestinian village of Umm al Khair, in the Southern West Bank initiated a hunger strike to demand the return of the body of community leader Awdah Hathaleen who was killed by an Israeli settler on Monday in broad daylight in the center of his village. They are also demanding the release of all the residents who had been arrested. 

Two of the women have already been taken to receive medical treatment as a result of the hunger strike, but they will not stop until demands are met.

Awdah Hathaleen was shot and killed in cold blood on Monday, July 28th by Israeli settler Yinon Levi, who has been sanctioned by multiple foreign governments including the previous US administration. The incident took place during a violent and armed settler attack, in the midst of an invasion into the village, and as settlers were razing village land with heavy machinery. The shooting of Awdah Hathaleen was documented on video and is widely available. 

Awdah’s injured body was taken by an ambulance to Soroka hospital in Beer Sheva where he was pronounced dead. From there, the police transferred his body for an autopsy at Abu Kabir National Institute of Forensic Medicine in Jaffa. The autopsy was completed on Wednesday afternoon which should have meant the body would be returned to the family for burial rites and to  begin the traditional mourning process. However, the police have refused to return the body to the family. They informed the family’s representative that the body will only be returned if the family agrees to unreasonably restrictive conditions on the funeral and burial.

The police demanded that the family hold a quick and quiet burial at night--no more than 15 people, outside of the boundaries of the village, and no traditional mourning tent for this community leader and beacon. The family refused saying, "Awdah is not a thief and we will not bury him in the dark". 

The family and community are in a state of suspended grief, unable to mourn their loss according to their tradition. 

“We must continue in this hunger strike, until with God’s help they will release the body. It’s the least we can do for Awdah. Awdah was loved by everyone; he helped everyone. Every small child in the village knows and loves him. There’s no one like Awdah, and there never will be anyone like Awdah. We demand for the whole world, for anyone who is able, for anyone who has a voice, to help us return Awdah’s body.’  - one of the hunger strikers

The hunger strikers will continue until their demands are met including the return of Hathaleen’s body, the release of those arrested from their community, and the arrest of Yinon Levi who is walking free today after a court released him from house arrest. 

The women invite journalists to come to the village to talk to them about the strike, Awdah, and their demand to release his body.

Awdah Alhadlin, a Palestinian teacher, activist, and father was killed by a settler. His body is being withheld in Israel. The women of his Palestinian Bedouin village are on hunger strike to honorably bury Awdah in Umm Al Kheir.
