For twenty year settlers have been putting up signs in Hebron to erase Palestinian identity and pave the way to steal more land. The signs are illegal even under Israeli law. The Israeli Civil Administration must adhere to the Hebron Protocol of 1997 which requires the Palestinian identity of Hebron to be protected. Remove the illegal setter signs.

We are fighting for justice in Hebron!
We The other day, we dropped a banner from Shuhada Street, an area almost entirely closed to Palestinians. The banner read, "This is Palestine. Welcome to Apartheid Street." Here is why: Last week For the last 20 years, and increasing even more over the last two years, Israeli settlers have been installing hateful signs in Hebron. The signs change the names of streets from Arabic to Hebrew and ferment hatred and violence. Many of the signs are illegally mounted on Palestinian homes and shops without permission from the owner. Issa Amro wrote about the signs for Mondoweiss: "The purpose of the sign is not to provide directions but to erase Palestinian identity, and even the Arabic language, from the area." We have been working with Rabbis for Human Rights to use legal measures to have the signs removed. However, the army refused, citing fear of violence. Yet the army regularly grants permits for settlers to have marches celebrating terrorism against Palestinians.
Sign the petition to tell the Israeli Civil Administration to implement their own laws and remove the signs! Then contribute to our grassroots direct action campaign to counter the hateful signs.
With your support we will be continue to spread truth and justice in Hebron. Part of this will involve more grassroots efforts like our banner drops and protests. Other parts will involve ongoing legal measures and countering the signs and with installations that celebrate Palestinian life and history in the city. Together we will continue to promote justice freedom, and equality for all people. Thank you for your support.
Towards justice,
Issa, Muhanned, Ahmed, and all the members of Youth Against Settlements
