This long article about one families experience covers the whole gamut of how Zionism works in practise.

Summary of issues in article:
Seeing illegal Jewish only settlements encroach around ones villages
Having what was a ten minute drive to visit relatives in village nearby being held up by checkpoints etc.
With increasing settlement building more harassment by Israelis when local Palestinians are trying to farm and tend animals.
Having ones husband shot in stomach by settler causing long term health problems.
The settler who did this has never suffered any consequences. Despite the shooting being reported to the police. And CCTV coverage available.
As a further insult the Israeli authorities revoked some of their travel permits as the authorities were concerned that the family might try to get revenge for the shooting of the husband. Despite same authorities have no intention of giving the Palestinian family justice.
To cap it all the wife's family house was later demolished under the Israel state planning rules for the occupied West Bank. This bureaucracy is designed to stop the indigenous people from building homes to house their growing families. This not does not apply to Jewish Israeli settlers. I say Jewish as the settlements organisation is set up to make sure citizens of Israel who are Arab wont be able to live in them. It's a bureaucratic way to stop Palestinian villages growing in size in competition with Israeli Jewish settlements.
It's about one family but imo its shows how Zionism works to deny Palestinians a decent life on their own land. It's designed to grind them down and gradually remove them from majority of land.
Its a combination of lawless gun toting settlers who believe this is their god given land and bureaucratic state Zionism. Who complement each other.
Living in what's left under Israeli surveillance in what historian Ilan Pappe argues is an open prison.
This has been going on for decades in West Bank.
Put this on worldwide demos by mistake.
A settler shot my husband. Then Israel bulldozed my family home
Zakariyah has suffered immensely, yet his attacker roams free, and and demolitions continue to devastate our communities in Masafer Yatta.
