🇵🇸 Palestinians struggle to rebuild their lives after settler pogroms
A surge in #SettlerViolence since Oct. 7 has robbed multiple Palestinian communities of their land and livelihoods. Now they don't know where to go.
On the day of the expulsion, the settlers refused to allow them to take anything from the burning village: her husband’s ID card, vehicles, mattresses, cell phones, bags of olives, keys — “and my clothes,” one of her sons adds. Everything was left behind, and much of it stolen. Abiyat’s eldest son, who is 11 years old, can no longer go to his school near the village, as there is nobody who can drive him there
In the days leading up to her family’s decision to flee the village, Abiyat would sleep outside with her children, fearing that settlers would set their house on fire while they slept, as had happened to one of her neighbors. “At night, we’d lock the house, turn off the lights, and then go down to the olive trees to sleep under the sky,” she says

🇵🇸 Dr. Yara Hawari د. يارا هواري (@yarahawari): "Let me tell you about Ahed. 2 days ago Israeli regime forces invaded a Palestinian town in the West Bank to take down South African flags that had been put up by residents. Ahed went up to her rooftop to see what was going on. There, she was shot & killed by an Israeli sniper." | nitter –

🇵🇸 Hamas, Fatah and the history of Palestine liberation | Azzam Tamimi | The Big Picture S3E02
The history of Palestinian liberation movements is paved with setbacks, betrayals and bitter rivalries.
What began as an attempt to unify the resistance against Israeli occupation has over time been undermined by regional and global political interests, ideological differences and disagreements over the justification, and use, of guerilla tactics.
Today the question of who represents Palestinian interests is hotly contested, with Hamas and Fatah vying for control, and a wave of dissatisfied young factions on the rise in Gaza and the West Bank.
British-Palestinian academic and political activist Dr Azzam Tamimi.
In the light of the ongoing violence in Gaza and Israel, and the devastating toll on civilian life, Dr Tamimi explains how these movements began, and why another Palestinian uprising is inevitable

🇵🇸 Devastation Into Dollars: Israeli Startups Are Making a Killing in Gaza
Despite calls across college campuses demanding divestment from Israel, one sector of the Israeli economy appears to be booming. Israeli startups raised over $1 billion in funding for the second straight month in May.
A number of these successful startups have participated in Israel’s ongoing war on the besieged Gaza Strip, suggesting genocide is a lucrative marketing tool for #business. Products like suicide #drones, smart guns, and robot dogs have all been deployed on the battlefield since October 2023, with some startups even exploiting the war to their advantage and touting their #technologies’ use in the war as an advertising boost
Israel’s government-owned and private companies alike have long promoted their weapons as “battle-tested,” with the occupation of Gaza and the West Bank serving as Israel’s homegrown weapons-testing laboratory.

🇵🇸 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.

🇵🇸 ‘More horrific than Abu Ghraib’: Lawyer recounts visit to Israeli detention center | 972mag
The situation there is more horrific than anything we’ve heard about Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo.” This is how Khaled Mahajneh describes the Sde Teiman detention center as the first lawyer to visit the facility. More than 4,000 Palestinians whom Israel arrested in Gaza have been held at the military base in the #Naqab/#Negev since October 7; some of them have subsequently been released, but most remain in Israeli detention.

🇵🇸 Why the West Bank is on the verge of economic collapse | Mondoweiss
The West Bank’s economic crisis and the expansion of Israel’s settlements are connected. Here’s how.
Yet even the partial loosening of restrictions on withheld customs money to the PA doesn’t come close to solving the PA’s economic crisis. Israel’s economic sanctions have forced hundreds of thousands of Palestinian public sector employees to survive on little to no salaries for months on end, while Israel still maintains its revocation of work permits for the some 100,000 Palestinian laborers who used to work in Israel and in Israeli settlements before October 7.
According to Abudaka, “PA salaries account for around 30% of the West Bank’s total salaries, while workers in Israel generate around 40% of the West Bank’s total salaries, making these two sectors the backbone of the West Bank’s economy.”

🇵🇸 Palestinians Say Microsoft Unfairly Closing Their Accounts | Slashdot
Ancient Slashdot reader Alain Williams writes: Palestinians living abroad have accused Microsoft of closing their email accounts without warning -- cutting them off from crucial online services. They say it has left them unable to access bank accounts and job offers -- and stopped them using Skype, which Microsoft owns, to contact relatives in war-torn Gaza. Microsoft says they violated its terms of service -- a claim they dispute. He also said being cut off from Skype was a huge blow for his family. The internet is frequently disrupted or switched off there because of the Israeli military campaign - and standard international calls are very expensive. [...] With a paid Skype subscription, it is possible to call mobiles in Gaza cheaply -- and while the internet is down -- so it has become a lifeline to many Palestinians.

🇵🇸 Cyber Nightmare: Hamas Has Detailed Intel on Thousands of Israeli Soldiers
Families, IDs, phone numbers, bank details, license plates, and in some cases even passwords were included in detailed reports Hamas had created on more than 2,000 IOF soldiers, including some in sensitive positions
Y. is a chief technician in a famous fighter squadron. O. held a key role in Israel's aerial defense systems. S. has access to cutting-edge technologies. K. is a pilot. The four are among more than 2,000 Israel Air Force personnel who were the subject of detailed dossiers created by Hamas as part of intelligence-gathering operations. The dossiers were leaked online this week, and with them the details of the soldiers' past and present.
