Guys. This unit that Israel is "punishing"?
In 2022, it bound, gagged, and blindfolded a 78-year-old Palestinian-American. He died in the cold.
In 2024, Biden chose not to sanction it, because it "remediated" the case.
Now, it assaulted a CNN crew.
And it's getting "training."

The Israeli military’s top general suspended all operational activities of the reserve battalion involved in my team's detention & assault. The reserve battalion, comprised of hundreds of reservists who served in the ultra-Orthodox Netzah Yehuda battalion, will be immediately withdrawn from the West Bank and reassigned to training until further notice. The sweeping disciplinary action comes about 48 hours after our report first aired. edition.cnn.com/2026/03/29/mid…

I interviewed farmer Yousef Abo Rabee for an article on agriculture in Gaza to be published by @intifada soon. Israel just killed him.

The nation that is blockading Cuba is telling us that blockading the Strait of Hormuz is morally wrong. 🤔

Incredible photo of the Lebanese journalist, Ali Shoeib, reporting in front of illegal invaders.
Shoeib was murdered by Israel today in a targeted assassination.

Any recommendations for great books on Iran - Iraq war (1980s)?

The IDF is an indispensable part of pogroms and ethnic cleansing in the West Bank. Pro Israel ppl suddenly wringing their hands over this violence/blaming it on a few bad apples are, in the most generous reading, shedding crocodile tears.

“Twelve hours after Israeli settlers brutally attacked several Palestinians and established a new illegal outpost in their village, the Israeli military stepped in. But instead of detaining settlers or dismantling the illegal outpost, the soldiers targeted the Palestinian residents of Tayasir and a CNN team covering the incursion.” @JDiamond1 @AbeerSalmanCNN cnn.com/2026/03/27/mid…

While covering the latest Israeli settler attack in the West Bank, Israeli soldiers assaulted my photojournalist @cyrilthps and detained my team.
But our 2-hour detention revealed a lot about the motives of these Israeli soldiers: acting in service of the settler movement.

BREAKING: 19 billion ILS ($ 6 billion) is the @PeaceNowIL tally of Israel's 2023-2025 State budget allocation to destroying Palestinian homes and livelihoods, obstructing humanitarian relief to those most in need, funding and directing settler violence, and forcibly transferring Palestinians to make room for ever expanding settlements.
Every last shekel spent to entrench Israel's unlawful presence in Palestine, in grave breach of international law.
The settlement enterprise is not merely illegal. It is systematized cruelty, financed line by line. The erga omnes obligation is clear: end Israel's unlawful presence, fully, unconditionally, and now.
So we are left with a question that should trouble any government still claiming fidelity to law: why, in the face of such legal clarity, has so little been done?
The answer does not lie in uncertainty. It lies in political convenience, dressed up as prudence, and in a timidity that prefers managed illegality to principled action.
Call it plainly. This is not restraint. It is acquiescence. And it is time it was dispensed with.

On Sept. 9, 1969, ~20 Palestinians from Gaza boarded a plane from Israel, believing they were bound for Brazil. They’d signed up through an Israeli travel agency for a work-abroad program promising higher wages than they could find in Gaza. But that’s not what awaited them. 🧵

Radical Israelis equipped by the state with guns, drones, atvs, nightvision goggles, money, housing, tax breaks, impunity, and armed protection have allegedly established a settlement in Area A of the West Bank. The government must act now to stop them
Hen Mazzig@HenMazzig
Radical Israelis have allegedly established a settlement in Area A of the West Bank, which is under full control of the Palestinian Authority. The violence in the West Bank is absolutely unacceptable. Horrific stories of Radicals in the West Bank attacking Palestinian civilians, murdering animals, and even torturing Palestinians are far too common these days. Watching all of this unfold is beyond tragic. Israel must crack down on these violent radicals.

Israel supplies East African presidents with the spyware they use to track us down, kidnap and torture us for speaking out against their blood soaked regimes!
Israel in Kenya@IsraelinKenya
A 4,000 km radius from Tehran stretches deep into Africa, reaching across the Horn and into East Africa. To put this into perspective: 🇪🇹 Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) is about 3,200 km from Tehran 🇸🇴 Mogadishu (Somalia) is about 3,700–3,800 km away 🇸🇸 Juba (South Sudan) sits just under 4,000 km 🇰🇪 Nairobi (Kenya) is just beyond that range at around 4,300–4,400 km What this means is that within a 4,000 km reach, most of the Horn of Africa and parts of East Africa fall squarely within range, with countries like Kenya sitting just at the edge of that radius. This is not a distant geography. It is within the same regional neighborhood, from the Middle East into Africa’s eastern corridor.

Israel isn’t introducing the death penalty into its penal system; it is bringing a bill to allow for the execution of Palestinians detainees and only Palestinians. The issue here isn’t about the morality of capital punishment (as this statement misleading implies) it’s about an apartheid system so oppressive that it now seeks to dictate who lives and dies.
European External Action Service - EEAS 🇪🇺@eu_eeas
The approval of the Death Penalty Bill by the Israeli Parliament would be a grave step backward. The EU opposes capital punishment in all cases and under all circumstances. We encourage Israel to abide by its previous principled position. Read more: link.europa.eu/FFYKp3

This is how you know the Israeli government takes settler violence seriously:

Must read interview with Israel’s Ambassador to the U.S. @yechielleiter. “I’m so angry about the issue of Jewish riots in Judea and Samaria….The government is mobilizing to do what needs to be done. They understand the severity of the situation.” timesofisrael.com/israels-us-env…

Hasbara is going into overdrive trying to create distance between the Israeli government and the violent settlers rampaging across the West Bank. But there is no daylight between them. None.

Lest we forget, this is what happened in 1982, the last time that the Israelis seized and occupied southern Lebanon. There is no reason to suggest that it won't happen again. aljazeera.com/news/2022/9/16…

This is so dystopian man. An entire nation under a medieval-style siege, slowly being strangled to death while the rest of the world simply turns a blind eye.

Nigeria's Dangote Petroleum Refinery has stepped up gasoline exports across Africa as disruptions to energy flows due to the Iran conflict squeeze traditional fuel supply routes, curbing the cheap imports that long dominated West African markets. reuters.com/business/energ…
