A few minutes later, the army showed up. They also inspected the vehicles and asked a few questions. At no point, either the police or the army wrote down what happened to investigate and find the perpetrators of the attack. But they asked for our IDs and took photos of them. 4/5

We went and met a few young Palestinians who had stopped to help the driver. The driver had already been taken away by an ambulance. They told us settlers threw stones at the car, beat up the driver, and then poured sand into his engine. 2/6

I'm still in Harabat al Naibi. Around 6am, like every morning around that time, a few settlers walked their flock of sheeps just down the hill. They come 3-4 times a day. Most of the time, there are no incident, but at times they get closer, even walking their […] [Original post on social.coop]

I'm staying in the tiny hamlet of Harabat al Naibi in Masafer Yata. Two families live here. Last month, settlers stole all their sheeps in the middle of the night. In the past year or two, there's been settler attacks too. So the families have requested that a few activists stay here every night.

In case the weekly images of pogroms and settler attacks weren't enough, a new report by Peace Now and Kerem Navot shows how since 2023 Israel has been de-facto annexing the West Bank. #Israel #Palestine #Westbank
Key findings of the report include:

*  185 new outposts established.

*  118 Palestinian shepherding communities and shepherding clusters expelled.

*  102 new settlements were established through the legalization of outposts or by granting existing neighborhoods independent settlement status.

*  40,064 housing units advanced in settlements.

*  Farm outposts now effectively control more than 1.1 million dunams, including approximately 750,000 dunams seized since the current government took office.

*  At least 223 kilometers of new roads opened across the West Bank.

*  Settlers took control of at least 11,520 dunams through agricultural cultivation.

*  25,959 dunams declared as state land.

One key myth of Zionism is that in the early 20th century, Palestinians opposed all Jewish immigration to Palestine--or even rejected Jews out of antisemitism. In reality, many Palestinians were initially open to Jewish immigration and only started opposing […] [Original post on social.coop]

"We Arabs, Muslim and Christian, always sympathized profoundly with the persecuted Jews and their misfortunes in other countries, but there is a wide difference between this sympathy and the acceptance of such a nation . . . ruling over us."

Israeli police detained a Jewish man for wearing a kippa with the Israeli and Palestinian flags, then took the kippa and cut out the Palestinian flag. Because Judaism is part of the Zionist story, but the main thing is hyper-nationalism and colonialism.

"brought small children and even infants to observe the confrontations" And I can share with that almost all of my relatives and childhood friends in Israel are *100% convinced* that Zionism is the side that values life, love, and peace
Screenshot of an article that says "Left-wing activists detained by Israeli forces after settlers attempted to vandalize West Bank village
A group of settlers attempted to dig up buried pipes and destroy Palestinian infrastructure in a small West Bank village on Wednesday.
When activists intervened to prevent the vandalism in the village of Ras al-Ein in the Jordan Valley, the settlers called police and the Israeli army.
Israeli forces responded by reportedly assaulting an Israeli-American activist and dragging him to the ground. Several other activists had their ID cards inspected and detained at the scene.
Eyewitnesses reported that settlers brought small children and even infants to observe the confrontations."
