An insight into life under occupation
In part two of a four-part series, MARY ADOSSIDES documents her study tour of Palestine with the Israeli Commission Against House Demolitions

Day 4: East Jerusalem. “The Nakba [Disaster] has never ended,” the director of the Resource Centre for Palestinian Residency and Refugee Rights tells us when we meet.

She explains that the Oslo accords had provided hope that a Palestinian state would be created but the outcomes were a disaster following the assassination of Israeli prime minister Yitzak Rabin in 1995.

The West Bank was divided up and the rights of Palestinians increasingly restricted, including their rights to travel freely. 
House and village demolitions are a daily occurrence to enable land confiscation and the settlement expansion declared illegal in international law.
