For the past year and a half, UChicago students, including myself, have worked to support the Palestinian village of Susya as part of J Street U's Stop Demolitions, Build Peace campaign.

Amid twilight hues, Palestinian children laughed and scrambled between a slide and a geese pen. A few almond trees inÃâà...

I expected to see a disparity between them, but what I witnessed was shocking injustice. While the surrounding settlements andÃâà...

The government has delayed its response on the matter for several months. Haaretz has learned that the present request for a postponement was filed after European diplomats, including the British, applied pressure on the Defense Ministry and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to demolish theÃâà...

This should matter to American Jews because demolishing Susya will further entrench the Israeli presence on territory that should become part of a future Palestinian state. This would deliver the latest blow against the prospects for a two-state solution – the only solution to the conflict that ensures aÃâà...

I'm sure that few Americans have heard of the Palestinian village of Susya. And it is probable that even fewer Americans understand the grave importance for it to remain intact. On Feb. 1, the Israeli Supreme Court greenlighted the immediate demolition of seven structures in the village, home to over 40Ãâà...
