Watch: @SusanSarandon, Hannah Einbinder, @CynthiaNixon and Michael Stipe (@stipemichael_) join B’Tselem’s call to stop Israel’s Elimination Project in the West Bank. In the video, the artists and B’Tselem team members say that “Israel is carrying out a campaign to eliminate Palestinian collective existence in the West Bank.” They call on the international community to take action to stop this project and note that “U.S. taxpayer dollars are funding these crimes." Our new report, “The Elimination Project”, examines how Israel is dismantling the material, social and political conditions that enable Palestinians to exist as a society and as a collective in the West Bank: to live on their land, earn a living, maintain communities, social ties and political institutions, organize and exercise their collective rights, and uphold the possibility of a future. By violently reshaping the territory, Israel is working to permanently cement exclusive Jewish-Israeli control and sovereignty over the entire area. What is happening in the West Bank is not a series of isolated incidents. When you look closely and connect the dots, the picture is clear: this is all part of one political project.
