Existence is Resistance in the West Bank, Palestine

Professor Esther McIntosh

From 1–10 June 2025, Esther participated in a solidarity and advocacy visit to the West Bank with Friends of Sabeel North America (FOSNA) and Sabeel (Palestinian Liberation Theology Center) in occupied East Jerusalem.
After October 2023, Sabeel became the only civil organisation to still bring international delegations to Palestine; their Director, Omar Haramy, insists that these delegations are needed more than ever. The aim of the delegations is twofold: to reduce violence towards Palestinians and to bear witness to their oppression under occupation, apartheid and settler-colonialism. Both Sabeel and FOSNA use the phrase ‘come and see, go and tell’.
Esther shares her reflections from the visit, the people she met and the places she saw.
