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

EthnicCleansing: The struggle of the Sob Laban family for their home in Jerusalem - Stop The Wall –June 2023

In the Old City of Jerusalem, Nora Gaith (68) and Mostafa Sub Laban (72) are awaiting the enforcement of a recent Israeli court decision to forcibly expel them from their home. June 11 was the date the Israeli authorities gave to the family to voluntarily leave their home, the latter refuse and continue to stay there. However, similar to the experience of other Palestinian families in the past, the Sub Laban family expects the court decision to be violently and brutally carried out at any moment.

Dispossession Through Bureaucracy in Occupied Jerusalem – whoprofits –

Flash report | Feb 2023
In this update, Who Profits sheds light on Israel’s weaponization of bureaucratic processes to advance its long-standing agendas of illegal settlement expansion and Judaization, while at the same time controlling, concentrating and minimizing the Palestinian presence in Jerusalem. We examine corporate complicity in two prime “bureaucratic-cum-displacement” processes explicitly targeting Palestinians in East Jerusalem – the revocation of the permanent residency status of Palestinian-Jerusalemites and the land registration proceedings.

🇵🇸 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.
