Driven by faith, activists stand up to fellow Jews to protect Palestinians

AI Summary

A group of predominantly religious Jewish activists, including Ziva Sharp, have been traveling from Jerusalem to the West Bank to protect Palestinians from violent settler attacks. Their faith motivates their commitment despite opposition from other Jewish groups.

Ziva Sharp said her Jewish faith motivated her to travel from Jerusalem to the West Bank to stand up for Palestinians -- a commitment that led to her being set upon by fellow Israelis also professing to be driven by Judaism. Sharp and around 30 other activists are part of a small movement of Israelis, many of them religious Jews, who periodically go to the occupied West Bank with a mission to protect Palestinians under growing assault by violent settlers.
