US taxpayers are footing the bill for Israeli settler-colonialism in more ways than one. A new video by @ajplus highlights how American charities are funding the eviction of Palestinian families. youtube.com/watch?v=kbPnF8…

Important visualisation. During the period Israel carried out the pre-meditated Genocide in Gaza, up until now, there were powerful Zionist actors who saw opportunities in the world's distraction to accelerate the violent Jewish Colonisation of the occupied Palestinian territory.
Working on a data project and thought I'd put this map together to show just how fast the colonization of the West Bank is happening: Since Jan 2025, Israel has signed orders for 115 of the 191 settlements. In the ten years before, 39.

I think folks missed a piece of this, so I just want to highlight this particular dynamic. There is a particular type of evil within the processes of zionism, in that they are disposses, maiming and slaughtering the people they know personally. 1/3
During these lockdowns, hospitals & medical facilities can run short staffed, or have to call in workers on off days — because that's how many Palestinians from the WB are doctors/staff. If you go to Haddasah Ein Karem, there is a possiblity of having a doctor Ahmed from Hebron.

Most so-called wars are waged against strangers. A US soldier in Iraq maybe never met an Iraqi, yet was sent to kill complete strangers. Every Israeli knows a Paletinian. From the bus drivers, to their teachers, to the municipal worker — Palestinians are part of their lives. 2/3

Despite these relationships with the people that delivered their babies, drove them to the ER — saving their lives — the broader society is wholly prepared to eliminate a people, as a people. There is a particular evil in destroying a people that have taken care of you. 3/3

Israeli forces released an order indicating that while checkpoints will reopen today, all coordination arrangements made for the olive harvest have been cancelled until next Thursday.

This means that farmers who had to organize coordination with zionist forces to access their harvest have had their arrangements cancelled arbitrarily.

The IDF routinely uses Palestinians own cars to create blockades. This car is blocking the raid that leads to the hospital in Beit Jala. It sits there, next to the barbwire, with punctured tires.

In their own words, zionists acknowledge developing models of elimination to export. People think the model is the door-to-door force. Its not. It’s all the data-informed propaganda on tradition & social media, surveillance & political campaigns that make the violence palatable.

Please support Omar and his family
I am going through extremely difficult and harsh circumstances, and my family is as well. Prices are rising outrageously, and famine is knocking on Gaza's doors once again. We are in desperate need of your help.
Please donate and share the campaign.

The West Bank is under siege. Roads sealed, cities isolated, military raids, demolitions and threats of mass expulsion. Days before Israel’s elections, collective punishment is escalating with apparent impunity. How much further will the occupying power go before the world acts?

Basically, every group chat right now is everyone sorting out how to get in and out of a town or village.

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya's name has fallen out of the news cycle, alongside the many other Palestinian healthcare workers imprisoned indefinitely under unspeakable conditions. No Palestinian should be imprisoned by a foreign occupier. thecall.ps/p/exceeding-oa…

This is worth sharing because sometimes, even settlers outside of the West Bank do not seem to understand these dynamics. Therefore it’s unlikely that folks elsewhere in the world can intuitively grasp these dynamics.
It’s worth clarifying something as folks are sharing news of the West Bank being “shut down”. Importantly, it is not the entire West Bank which is shut down—it is Palestinian cities, towns, and villages. Settlers are free to travel through open roads and checkpoints, as always.

A few years ago, an Israeli in Tel Aviv asked one of our members about travel in and out of the West Bank, and our member had to explain that no, the settlers are never subjected to being trapped in here with the rest of us.

This is an important note because it highlights the most fundamental reality of Palestinian life across Palestine: we are not in control of the roads, borders, even entrances and exits to our own towns—perhaps especially into Areas A.

This is the same case for Palestinian communities in Jerusalem, obviously in Gaza to an even greater extent, but also, to some level, Palestinian citizens in Israel. Palestinians have no inch of Palestine in which they are meaningfully able to exercise sovereignty.

On the other hand, settlers are free to travel almost entirely without restriction. The gates to their settlements are not a way of disrupting their movement; rather, they are another way of restricting Palestinian movement, just like the gates outside Palestinian communities.
