Israel is not only protecting the messianic settlers! They are another executive arm of the government, just like the army and the police: The aim is to create a reality in which the Palestinians realise they have nowhere to turn, because the whole system is designed to screw them over.

Exposing and documenting a crime is not whitewashing it, but rather a genuine fight against it; and anyone who attacks this film places themselves under suspicion of siding with the occupation. We know that the occupation has its lackeys everywhere. 1/5

This incident is taking place on Shuhada Street in Hebron. It would be five minutes walk from my house, if I would be allowed to walk there. (As a Palestinian I am not). When a Palestinian in my neighbourhood needs an ambulance it takes several phonecalls and several hours.

The Minister of Education and Higher Education, Dr Amjad Barham, is celebrating the establishment of a technical college in the city of Qalqilya. The legitimate question here is not: ‘Why Qalqilya?’, but rather: ‘What developmental, academic and economic criteria underpinned the choice of Qalqilya?’

According to the ICJ (International Court of Justice) the occupation is illegal, and so is all cooperation with or support of settlements and settlers. Therefor this so called "UK charity" is breaking international law. And by letting them do so, the UK is breaking it too. Make them accountable!

In what Israeli media described as a “historic” move, Israeli authorities have begun work to alter the landmarks of the Ibrahimi Mosque after stripping the Hebron Municipality of its construction and planning authority, in a step that aims to change the mosque’s Islamic identity. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
