Dozens of people gathered in New York Tuesday night to protest a fundraiser for a group that finances Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank city of Hebron. The Hebron Fund is one of over two dozen tax-exempt U.S. charities that have raised millions of dollars for West Bank settlements. Gloria Bletter of Jews Against the Occupation criticized the Obama administration’s record on Palestinian human rights.

Gloria Bletter: “We’re against exacerbating the facts of the occupation. It’s been so terrible up 'til now what Israel has been doing and militarily and killing and starving Gazans and people in the West Bank, that every time it seems to get worse. It seems like they up the ante again and again. And this government, Obama, is going along with them. It doesn't stand up to them.”
