(Machsom is Hebrew for "checkpoint") Founded in 2001, this Israeli nonprofit organization includes women from diverse communities across Israel that oppose Israel’s military occupation of the Palestinian Territories. Members monitor Israeli military checkpoints and publicly report their findings in order to protect the rights of Palestinians as they cross checkpoints and to influence public opinion.
