🇵🇸 Israel Weaponising Water in Palestine | Al Jazeera Documentary - July 2023

Decades of Israeli occupation have left Palestinians struggling to access clean water. Israel controls a majority of the freshwater resources in the occupied West Bank. And in Gaza, its 16-year blockade and military operations have had a devastating effect on the water supply. Monitoring groups say about 97 percent of the water supply in Gaza is contaminated and unfit for human consumption.

Gaza’s only freshwater source, the Coastal Aquifer, cannot meet demand and has been depleted by overextraction and contaminated by sewage. Rising temperatures and sea levels are only making life more difficult, while in Israel, residents do not have to worry about the taps running dry. People and Power examines this growing disparity.

How Israel indoctrinates its people w/Miko Peled | The Chris Hedges Report - Real News Network

To understand the genocidal campaign unfolding before our eyes, we must examine the roots of Israeli society. Israel is a settler colonial state whose existence depends on the elimination of Palestinians. Accordingly, Israel is a deeply militarized society whose citizens are raised in an environment of historical revisionism and indoctrination that whitewashes Israel's crimes while cultivating a deep-seated racism against Palestinians. Miko Peled, former IOF Special Forces and author of The General's Son: Journey of an Israeli in Palestine, joins The Chris Hedges Report for a frank conversation on the distortions of history and reality at the foundations of Israeli identity.

Indonesia files lawsuit against Israel at ICJ – Middle East Monitor

Israel’s Maariv newspaper reported that Indonesia has filed a new #lawsuit against the Israeli occupation at the International Court of Justice (#ICJ) in The #Hague.

In doing so, #Indonesia joins #SouthAfrica, which filed the first lawsuit against Israel for committing #genocide against Palestinians in #Gaza.

The Indonesian Foreign Ministry had previously assembled a team of experts to help draft Indonesia’s ICJ case to hold Israel accountable for its “policies and practices” in the occupied Palestinian territories(#OPT).[Apartheid]

According to the local Jakarta Post website, Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said that the case will help support global order based on #InternationalLaw, as well as support the Palestinians.

Ahed went up to her rooftop to see what was going on. There, she was shot & killed by an Israeli sniper." | nitter –

Entitled Israel Tech Guard, the coalition of Israeli tech employees has pulled together what it’s termed an “army” of citizen volunteers primarily to defend Israel’s image online. The group has launched or collaborated on several projects aimed at targeting pro-Palestine content while boosting Israeli propaganda.

Israel Tech Guard comprises over 250 Israeli tech workers and was founded by entrepreneur Mor Ram-On, who worked for Israeli arms manufacturer Rafael Advanced Defense Systems(#RADFS); Ron Balter, a software engineer at #Cybereason, a U.S. cybersecurity firm, and who served with the Israeli navy; and Lior Mizrahi, who heads the IT company #Maveriks.

🇵🇸 israel approves largest West Bank land grab in three decades

Israeli authorities last month approved the largest seizure of land in the occupied West Bank in over three decades, anti-settlement watchdog Peace Now revealed on 3 July.

The activists said the approval allows for the appropriation of 12.7 square kilometers of land in the Jordan Valley, northeast of the West Bank city of Ramallah. By illegally authorizing their seizure, Tel Aviv is allowing the land to be leased to Israelis and banning private Palestinian ownership.

According to Peace Now, this marks the largest single appropriation approved since the 1993 Oslo Accords. The move comes after the seizure of 8 square kilometers of land in the West Bank in March and 2.6 square kilometers in February.

“2024 marks the peak in the extent of declarations of state land,” Peace Now said in a statement.

🇵🇸 How western Big Tech giants enable Israel's occupation | By Kit Klarenberg

#HewlettPackard, #Motorola, and other western tech conglomerates have been deeply involved in providing the technological infrastructure that supports Israeli apartheid and settler colonialism. This is how they profit from the oppression of Palestinians.

This investigation is the second in a series that examines illegal investments by western #corporations in the occupied Palestinian territories. The first investigation can be found here.

🇵🇸 “It is very hard to lose five children and have nothing left. You can’t imagine the pain of losing your sons.”

Peter Oborne goes inside the #NurShams #RefugeeCamp in the occupied #WestBank, where Israeli air strikes, #bulldozers and #snipers are reducing it to rubble and ruin.

Residents of the camp say that recent attacks by Israeli forces have taken on a terrifying dimension not seen before, one that amounts to a form of collective punishment, in which civilians and infrastructure have been targeted indiscriminately without red lines or limitations.

In April, at least 14 Palestinians were killed and scores more injured as Israeli forces laid siege to the camp for more than two days, leaving bodies in the streets and ambulances and medical teams unable to reach the wounded.

At least 80 residents of the camp have been killed since 7 October, according to the local popular committee. About 300 homes have been destroyed and at least 2,600 have been damaged. The camp has been raided 28 times.
