Fun fact: detaining Rabbis for Human Rights and other groups for actions like protecting olive harvests has been happening the whole time too. Before 2017 a local IDF commander might detain folks by declaring a “closed military zone” to “stop active clashes between harvesters and settlers”.

Were those “clashes” mostly unrelated or was it actually the settlers annoyed at the protection that started clashes? Hard to know. Starting around 2017, for seven years, a pattern of refusing entry into Israel for a small number of international activists emerged.

Starting after Oct 7 2023, there is a clear, active, top-down movement by the Israeli government to reduce and eliminate outside documentation of West Bank harvesting (and thus the Israeli government and army’s effects thereupon). Mass refusals, many more deportations/expulsions, 5-6x detentions.
