The war crimes and other atrocities being perpetrated by Israel in its project of colonialist occupation, land expropriation and ethnic cleansing cannot be allowed to be forgotten, least of all by those who continue to live in denial of what is happening.

Lawyer and human rights activist Raja Shehadeh’s diary of the time, published as When the Bulbul Stopped Singing , vividly portrays the feelings of terror and powerlessness he and others experienced during this violent incursion into their homeland. In this extract from the diary, read by Laura Strack, Shehadeh writes of his worries about his brother’s young family as they are illegally held hostage in their own home by a group of Israeli soldiers.
