A small boy sits on a hillside in the occupied West Bank. Like the adults around him, he trains a green laser beam on a group of prefabricated housing units on a hilltop a few hundred meters away. It is an act of defiance.
The buildings had been abandoned earlier in the day by Jewish settlers following an agreement they reached with the government, but before they left, they erected a huge metal Star of David, and planted a large Israeli flag, as if to say, “We will be back.”

Three Israelis, including prominent activist Rudy Rochman, were arrested in Nigeria on July 9 while working on a documentary about various Jewish communities that aren’t well-known.
The two other filmmakers who were arrested are Andrew (Noam) Leibman and Edouard David Benayim. According to a July 14 statement from their families, the three filmmakers have been working on a documentary series called “We Were Never Lost” for more than a year and plan to interview Jewish communities in China and Afghanistan, among other countries.
