Israeli human rights activist Ezra Nawi will most likely be sent to jail

Naomi Klein, Neve Gordon, Noam
Chomsky and over twenty thousan others people asked
Israel not to jail Ezra Nawi, one of Israel’s most courageous human rights activists.
His crime? He tried to stop a military bulldozer from destroying the homes of Palestinian Bedouins in the South Hebron region.
Nawi, a Jewish Israeli of Iraqi descent, is a threat to the settlers and the Israeli government because he has brought international attention to efforts to illegally remove Palestinians from the Hebron region.
