🇵🇸 The West refuses to see Israel for what it is (An Apartheid colonial project), partly because it’s a reminder of its own history.

🇵🇸 Israel and its allies are repurposing the goals and lies of 1948 – in Gaza in 2023 – Jonathan Cook

Israel is openly carrying out ethnic cleansing inside Gaza, driving Palestinians outside their homeland as happened in 1948. And yet, just as during the first “#Nakba”, Israel's lies and deceptions dominate the West’s media and political narrative.

So Israel is taking advantage of this moment to “finish the job”. The final destination is clearly in view, as, in truth, it has been for more than seven decades. The crime is unfolding step by step, the pace quickening. And yet senior politicians and journalists in the West – like their predecessors – continue to be blind to it all.

🇵🇸 This is the Solution to Settler-Colonialism in Palestine | Ramzy Baroud

Palestinians know exactly what the solution is to settler-colonialism and #apartheid: #RESISTANCE. And they are resisting. So can we please learn to listen to them, instead of offering unsolicited, often underhanded ‘solutions’ designed to fit or accommodate Israel’s agendas. #Gaza #Palestine #Peace #Colonisation #Settler #middleeast #Israel

🇵🇸 The Olive Tree Hugger: Settler attacks on Palestinian farmers and their olive trees | Al Jazeera

“I hugged the olive tree… I’d raised the tree like my child.” Mahfodah Shtayyeh

On November 27, 2005, a Palestinian woman was photographed hugging an olive tree after it was attacked by Israeli settlers.The photograph became an iconic image symbolising the daily struggle of many Palestinian farmers in the occupied West Bank.

Over 800,000 olive trees on Palestinian farms have been uprooted by the Israeli authorities and settlers since 1967.

Israel deports human rights defender documenting Palestinian home demolitions – Mondoweiss – 27/11/2023

Alison Russell was detained by Israeli forces while documenting home demolitions in Masafer Yatta in the occupied West Bank. She was deported following a perfunctory hearing where Israeli police accused her of "supporting terrorism."

In the case of human rights defender Alison Russell, the far-fetched charges of “supporting terrorism” or “keyboard terrorism” cover up the real reason for her detention and deportation. In court, the state asserted that “she had many times disrupted the activities of the #IOF troops, whenever she came in contact with them”. Indeed, it is highly disturbing for the troops to have outside #observers and witnesses present where acts of oppression take place, which often constitute blatant violations of International Law.

🇵🇸 The Spark That Lit the Fire: The Untold Story of the October 7 Attacks – MintPress

The earth-shattering events in Palestine starting on October 7 have taken many people by surprise. However, attentive observers were not among them.

Few expected that Palestinian fighters would be parachuting into southern Israel on October 7; that instead of capturing a single Israeli soldier – as done in 2006 – hundreds of Israelis, including many soldiers and civilians, would find themselves captive in besieged Gaza.

The reason behind the ‘surprise,’ however, is the same reason that Israel is still reeling under collective shock, which is the tendency to pay close attention to political discourses and intelligence analyses of Israel and its supporters – while largely neglecting the Palestinian discourse.

For better comprehension, let us go back to the start.

🇵🇸 Saving Masafer Yatta | Mondoweiss Documentary August 2022

In May 2022 the Israeli Supreme Court ruled to expel the Palestinians living in the South Hebron Hills of the occupied West Bank, known locally as Masafer Yatta, and hand their land over to the Israeli military.

The army has used the land as an active firing zone for years, putting the local communities there at risk. Now, with the backing of the Supreme Court, the army is seeking to completely rid the area of its Palestinian inhabitants. Rights groups say it’s an act that would amount to forcible transfer, a war crime under international law.

With no hope left in the Israeli legal system, the Palestinians in Masafer Yatta are appealing to the international community to help save their communities.

This short documentary called The People  Masafer Yatta depicts the tragedy and resistance of the Palestinian people of Masafer Yatta. This film highlights the ongoing ethnic cleansing and displacement of Palestinians in this region since the Nakba of 1948.
