🇵🇸 From Scratch : Greater Israel | Middle East Monitor -
Greater Israel’ refers to the notion of expanding Israel's territory and sovereignty to encompass what many Israelis describe as their historic Biblical land, including the occupied Palestinian territories.
As Israeli leaders are becoming increasingly and publicly dismissive of the notion of an independent Palestinian state and the rights of Palestinians to their lands and as illegal Jewish-only settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories continue to grow unabated, MEMO's Jehan Alfarra explores whether the pursuit of a Greater Israel is on the Zionist state’s political agenda.

Golda Meir (1970) - "we asked them to leave" Palestine

🇵🇸 George Habash's contribution to the Palestinian struggle | As'ad AbuKhalil for The Electronic Intifada
George Habash lived his life for Palestine — every minute of it. He represented a model of revolutionary struggle that is exemplary in its dedication and asceticism, no matter what one thinks of the PFLP or its long political and military experience. One should not hesitate from rendering a harsh judgment against the #PFLP; ultimately it failed politically and militarily. And any evaluation of Palestinian political violence must be made in the context of #Zionist mass violence that for decades had set out to destroy Palestinian society and resistance and replace it with its own exclusivist vision.
But whatever that judgment it should not detract from an appreciation of the profound influence of the PFLP’s founder who helped shape the politics and worldview of a generation. The present political scene is devoid of any leaders of such character.

🇵🇸 " The looting and seizure, as far as I found, started in the 1930s in a systematic and organised manner ... by #Haganah forces [#Zionist paramilitary group]. The seizure intensified, of course, with the #Nakba in 1948. I found materials taken in 1967, 1982, 1991 and ... in the last few years."
What begins with #looting and appropriation, continues with a system of censorship and historical revisionism in the archives. The origin of Palestinian material is often erased and replaced with terminology that fits the archivist's world view.
"I saw photos with comments and notes written on them by the censors and archivists. For example, Palestinians are described as 'terrorists', as 'gangs'. Seeing all of that taught me about how the materials go through a process of rewriting to aid or benefit the Zionist narrative," says Sela. "You see a place where the materials are being censored and erased from the public sphere."

🇵🇸 Israel approves new West Bank settlement on UNESCO World Heritage Site
The Israeli government on 14 August officially approved municipal boundaries for a new settlement on a UNESCO World Heritage Site near #Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank.
#JewishSupremacist Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said his office had “completed its work and published a plan for the new Nahal Heletz settlement in Gush Etzion,” a bloc of settlements south of occupied Jerusalem.
“No anti-Israeli and anti-#Zionist decision will stop the development of settlements. We will continue to fight against the dangerous project of creating a Palestinian state by creating facts on the ground. This is my life's mission, and I will continue it as much as I can," the Israeli official, who lives in an illegal settlement, said via social media.
