We got notified that a Palestinian delivery driver was attacked on a road nearby. We only received this short video and the location of the attack. 1/6 #Palestine #Israel #Westbank

The first thing I noticed when I got into the West Bank, compared to last year, is thousands of Israeli flags lining up the sides of every major road. Before, you'd only ("only" of course) see Israeli flags at checkpoints, around military basis, or in settlements […] [Original post on social.coop]

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.

I'm in Palestine Israel. Before going into the West Bank, I stopped in Jerusalem to attend a protest in front of the prosecutor's office to demand accountability for Awdah Hathaleen. Awdah was a community leader in the village of Umm al Khair. He was murdered […] [Original post on social.coop]

Israel's next elections are set for October 27. This means that the Netanyahu government, portrayed by liberal Zionists as "extremist" and unrepresentative of Israel, will be the first government in 50 years to finish its entire term. It doesn't get more representative than that. #Israel […]

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 […]

✊ Respect to the folks from No Tech For Apartheid. Let's keep going, make it impossible for those designers, engineers, managers to ignore what the tech they build is being used for. #Israel #Palestine #Gaza #AI #Tech

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

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]

Reminder that the idea of a boycott targeting *only* Israeli settlements in the West Bank makes no sense. The Israeli government subsidizes the development of settlements & collects taxes on economic activity there, and Israeli society as a whole benefits from […] [Original post on social.coop]

Rather than ending never-ending wars, let's just... get better at processing trauma #Israel #Lebanon

New rule: anyone who says "Israel has a right to exist" must explain what that means. A right to exist as an ethno-nationalist Jewish state? Or as a democratic state for all its citizens? Or as a binational federation? Or as something else? "Israel has a right […] [Original post on social.coop]

Rest In Power Marjane Satrapi

All AIs reproduce the biaises of their society => western society is deeply, violently anti-Palestinian => most AIs are deeply, violently anti-Palestinian

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.

A regular Saturday in the West Bank: Jewish terror and ethnic cleansing https://www.timesofisrael.com/settlers-set-fire-to-palestinian-buildings-cars-in-west-bank-no-injuries-or-arrests/

There's no such thing as "defensive weaponry". The Iron Dome means Israel is shielded from responses to its attacks and is embolded to bomb right and left without consequences. Any reasonable ban on weapons sales must include the Iron Dome […]

For Palestinian Prisoners' day, TINAU published a zine of Arabic protest chants with Hebrew and English translation and transliteration. If you're a student of Arabic or just curious, check it out!

Can't think of something more obvious to say but hey, there is at least one person in Israel who came up with it, better than zero

Love to hear Jewish leaders take stock of the genocide and reassess their relationship with Israel... or wait, they mean stopping to support unions fighting for higher minimum wages or civil rights orgs 🤦🏻

In @gabrielzucman.bsky.social's excellent historical background of Trump's overthrow of Maduro: "in 1957, US oil companies generated as much profit in Venezuela as all US companies across all industries in all Latin American & European countries combined" […]

The Bush admin took 2 years to go from "Saddam has weapons of mass destructions" to "he supports Al-Qaeda" to "Iraq needs democracy" & never admitted it was about oil Within 2 months, Trump went from "Maduro sends fethanyl to the US" to "Venezuela needs democracy" to "we're taking over for the oil"

“Gaza is also ours. We’re just letting them stay there as guests until a certain point, but Gaza is ours.” Not exactly surprising, coming from an overt Jewish supremacist, but it's always better for them to say these things openly and explicitly so nobody can pretend we didn't know […]

Yeshayahu Leibowitz, the Israeli public intellectual, said in a speech in 1980: "The corruption of occupation does not stop with the occupiers - it also deforms the lives of the occupied Some may even be driven to acts of terrorism. I cannot bring myself to moral outrage over this fact, because […]

Disagreeing with the logic or strategy of BDS is fine, but it's always too obvious these critics have no understanding of the boycott: we don't claim that all Israelis as monsters, we simply know that Israeli academia is actively complicit in apartheid, and […] [Original post on social.coop]

Germany keeps its spot on the podium of the states who are most responsible in the destruction of the Palestinian people #Israel #Palestine #Gaza #Germany
