Witnessing the travesty of justice following expulsions from communities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza, Orit founded the Organization for Human Rights in Judea and Samaria.

Thanks for posting.
God bless David Wilder and the new MK, Orit Struk. May Hebron forever remain in Jewish hands.

Thanks Eleutheria5.
