🇵🇸 ‘If you don’t leave, we’ll kill you’: Hundreds flee Israeli settler violence – 972mag
Seeing the Gaza war as a golden hour to fulfill their West Bank ambitions, Israeli settlers have chased out entire Palestinian communities in Area C.
As a result, several communities around #Hebron in #AreaC — the two-thirds of the #WestBank completely controlled by Israel, and where all Israeli settlements are located — have been completely evacuated and their lands seized by #settlers. These include Al-Radeem, Khirbet Zanuta, ‘Atiriyah, Khirbet A’nizan, Maqtal Msalam, and Al-Qanoub.
Since October 7, an estimated 400 Palestinians in the Hebron region — including more than 150 children and 100 women — have fled to escape the horrors.

🇵🇸 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

82. ICJ says Israel’s occupation is illegal
Mondoweiss
🇵🇸 On July 19, the International Court of Justice, or #ICJ, ruled that Israel’s occupation of #Gaza, the #WestBank, and East #Jerusalem (#OPT) is illegal and must end immediately.
Palestinians, of course, have been saying this for years. The court stated that Israel must halt all new settlement construction, evacuate #settlers, and pay reparations to Palestinians, calling some of Israel’s policies “#Apartheid.”
The ruling emphasizes the #occupation’s illegality and highlights the need for international #accountability and policy shifts. This historic ruling, though non-binding, challenges Israel’s legal defenses for the first time.
With #CraigMokhiber, an international human rights lawyer and activist, and a former senior United Nations human rights official. Craig served at the U.N. for over three decades. In October 2023, he left the U.N, criticizing the organization’s human rights failures regarding Israel’s actions to Gaza, warning of #genocide in Gaza.

🇵🇸 Call to action: Thwarting Israel’s master plan in the West Bank will take solidarity on the ground | Mondoweiss
Defeating the zionist master plan of dividing the West Bank in two and taking over the entire territory will require that solidarity activists put their bodies on the line to defend threatened Palestinian communities.

🇵🇸 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.

🇵🇸 Nothing’s changed since 1948 – except now Israel’s excuses don’t work | Jonathan Cook
We have been lied to for decades about the creation of Israel. It was always a settler colonial project. And like other settler colonial projects – from the US and Australia to South Africa and Algeria – it always viewed the native people as inferior, as non-human, as animals, and was bent on their elimination.
What is so obviously true today was true then too, at Israel’s birth. Israel was born in sin, and it continues to live in sin.
We in the West abetted its crimes in 1948, and we’re still abetting them today. Nothing has changed, except the excuses no longer work.

🇵🇸 Israeli settlers rampage across Palestinian town in latest West Bank pogrom
More than 70 armed Jewish settlers invaded the Palestinian town of Jit in the occupied West Bank on 16 August, firing bullets and tear gas at residents and setting several homes and cars and other property on fire, CNN reported.
Settlers killed 23-year-old Rashid Sedda during the pogrom. The Palestinian Authority’s Ministry of Health confirmed the 23-year-old Palestinian died due to a gunshot wound to the chest.
“We have attacks but nothing to this level,” the head of Jit’s village council, Nasser Sedda, told CNN. “We haven’t seen anything like this before, and without a prior warning. They caught the people off guard – women, children, and elders were there.”

🇵🇸 “We are now going to enter a long period of concentrated effort in enforcement and #demolitions. We are going to return the situation to the way it was.”
Israel's far-right Finance Minister, Bezalel Smotrich, has launched a campaign to demolish structures and expel Palestinians from ‘Area B’ of the West Bank.
Smotrich, who heads a pro-settler party and is himself a settler, accused the Palestinian Authority of investing significant resources to create territorial contiguity in the region, which he claims threatens Israeli control and causes environmental damage.
Under the 1993 #OsloAccords, it was agreed that the area Smotrich is referring to would be controlled by the Palestinian Authority (#PA).
