Israeli forces detain, then release NYC candidate Brad Lander in West Bank

Israeli military forces detained Democratic congressional candidate Brad Lander on Wednesday while he was helping Palestinian farmers harvest olives near Nehalim in the occupied West Bank. He was released hours later. About 80 other Americans and Israeli rabbis and activists participating in the harvest were also detained, with dozens remaining in custody afterward. Lander wrote that "the occupation is a crime under international law," adding that harvesting olives "isn’t a crime under any law I know."
