The Story
Democratic US congressional candidate Brad Lander said Wednesday that he was released by Israeli forces with a warning after he and dozens of others were detained while helping Palestinians harvest olives in the illegally occupied West Bank."Several dozen rabbis and participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention," Lander, who is Jewish, wrote on social media. They should all be released immediately. To be clear: Palestinians face far worse consequences every day.
