Not welcome in Hebron

Breaking the Silence consists of former israeli soldiers who served in Hebron. I was signed up to join them this morning but this letter arrived last afternoon:

"We have just recieved a phone call from the Hebron police notifying us that we are not allowed in Hebron tomorrow.

The official reason -settlers from all over the territories might be arriving in the city tomorrow and the police are afraid for our safety. While we find this excuse illegetimate, we are at this point complying with it.

We as Israelis must remember that the ability to see things with our own eyes is fundamental to a democracy.

Breaking the Silence will continue demanding our rights to enter the city of Hebron."

And I will indeed continue signing up for their tours.
