Permanent Apartheid in Palestine: Why Israel Wants to Reactivate The E1 Plan - Mint Press - 2023


The Israeli government is at it again, actively discussing the construction of thousands of illegal settlement units as part of a massive settlement expansion scheme known as E1.

Though Israeli construction in the East Jerusalem area has supposedly been halted under international pressure, the Israeli government has found ways to keep the plan alive.

It did so through constant expansion of the various settlements in the name of ‘natural expansion’, confiscation of Palestinian land and the ruthless yet routine demolition of Palestinian homes

🇵🇸 Tantura: Film on Nakba massacre of Palestinian village premieres at Bafta | Middle East Eye - 2022

The film depicts how members of the Israeli army’s Alexandroni Brigade attacked the village leading to deaths among the civilian Palestinian population and forcing others to flee.

Palestinians have long said such tactics were used to force them from their historic lands to make way for the establishment of Israel.

Estimates of how many were killed during the massacre exceed 200 people, with one Israeli soldier saying of the death toll: "I didn't count. I can't really know. I had a machine gun with 250 bullets."

Lawyer and #ICJP director, Tayab Ali said that the Tantura episode encapsulates the Palestinian experience during the Nakba and ever since.

“The story of Tantura exemplifies the vast experience of #displacement and loss endured by Palestinians during the #Nakba, but in this film it is told by those that perpetrated it," he said.
