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.

Oh and the few times this government almost collapsed was either unrelated to its treatment of Palestinians (mostly around the military drafts for Ultra Orthodox men) or because Netanyahu's line on Gaza was considered too SOFT by its coalition partners.

I know it's old news but the radicalization of Israeli society remains shocking to me, perhaps because I see it from up close. Growing up, never in a million years would anyone call the West Bank "Judea and Samaria". Now my *secular* relatives in Israel exclusively say Judea and Samaria, and […]

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.

Quote by Musa Kazim Husseini, mayor of Jerusalem, responding to the Balfour Declaration on behalf of one hundred Palestinian Arab political leaders, in 1918:

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.
