From the river to the sea : Palestinians must be free Free of occupation Free of apartheid Free of house demolition Free of starving Free of being killed while trying to get food or water in Gaza Free of harressment by Jewish settlers in the Westbank Free of being hindered ...

The Trump-Netanyahu war is not just about Iran. Israel's Defense Minister says, “The fate of southern Lebanon will be the same as that of Gaza.” 2,702 people have been killed there, 1.6 million displaced and dozens of villages destroyed. NO MORE U.S. MILITARY AID TO NETANYAHU.

Als die Grünen✅ so viele Stimmen hatten wie die AfD jetzt und vor der Union lagen, hat sich ein signifikanter Teil der Medienlandschaft zusammengetan, um sie mit Desinformation & Schmutzkampagnen zu vernichten – und hat sie erfolgreich halbiert. Entlarvend, dass das jetzt mit der AfD💩nicht passiert. *Volksverpetzer #Habeck

Gaza is not starving. Gaza is being starved by Israel.

@AJEnglish Shameful ‼️

Israeli authorities have uprooted thousands of Palestinian olive trees in recent days, under the orders of Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich. It’s the latest action in Smotrich’s plan to pave way for Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank.

“There are a lot of 'limping monuments' in Palestinian villages, of those who tried to, so there is a price being paid... I'm constantly turning villages into conflict zones”. This is what Maj. Gen. Avi Bluth, commander of the military forces in the West Bank, says in Haaretz, published on 3 May (Sunday). The senior officer goes on to say: “The Arabs understand that ‘If someone comes to kill you, kill them first’ is the norm in the Middle East, so we're killing like we haven't killed since 1967,” explaining Israel’s open fire policy in the West Bank. Bluth brags about the extensive killing in the West Bank: “We've killed 1,500 terrorists in three years… 96 percent of the 1,500 killed were involved in terrorism, only 4 percent were not.” From October 2023 through 22 April 2026, Israel killed 1,066 Palestinians in the West Bank, including 231 children. The vast majority were killed by military fire, with 32 killed by settler militias. Using the label “terrorists” to make it permissible to kill Palestinians reflects the worldview of many senior Israeli officials regarding Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. For example, in early 2025, Defense Minister Katz said that, if necessary, Israel would do in the West Bank what it did in Gaza. In November 2023, Bezalel Smotrich, Israel’s Minister of Finance and Additional Minister in the Ministry of Defense responsible for the Settlement Directorate, said "There are two million Nazis in the West Bank," later adding that "Funduq, Nablus, and Jenin must look like Jabalya." With Palestinians fully dehumanized in Israel, and in Bluth’s command, the military is deepening its oppression of Palestinians and pursuing a policy of ethnic cleansing in the West Bank. Under Israel’s apartheid regime, Palestinians’ lives continue to be treated as entirely expendable. To read the full article >> haaretz.com/israel-news/is…

It is strange how the world can cooperate to get oil through the Iranian blockade at the Strait of Hormuz but still aren't able to get food through the US and Israeli blockade of Gaza and Cuba. International law is not optional that you invoke only when it suits you. Let's call it what it is: weaponized international law.

On the third year of genocide, as Gaza gets hit by a plague of rats/fleas, EU bureaucratese and charity posturing are simply unsufferable. Uphold the Law. Stop arming & trading with Israel. Ensure ICC arrest warrants are enforced. Defend the defenders. Only then, talk charity.

🚨 Smotrich: West Bank Settlement Expansion Has “Full Backing” of Trump Administration Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich told the Jerusalem Post that Israel’s accelerating settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank is being carried out with full U.S. support, coordinated directly with President Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Ambassador Mike Huckabee. ▪️ Since the current government took office in 2022, over 51,000 housing units have been approved for the West Bank, according to Smotrich’s office. ▪️ The Sa-Nur settlement in West Bank, evacuated 20 years ago under Israel’s Disengagement Plan, was reestablished Sunday, with over a dozen families already in residence. Smotrich said more settlements would follow “very soon.” ▪️ Smotrich called on Netanyahu to order the IDF to prepare for the “full conquest” of the Gaza Strip and the establishment of Israeli settlements there as well. ▪️ He said Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank are “part of the Iranian axis of evil” and dismissed documented Jewish extremist violence against Palestinians as “one of the biggest false campaigns there is.” ▪️ On international condemnation: “In the past, even building 50 housing units would lead to condemnation. Today it is very different.” Smotrich acknowledged Trump has not yet backed full West Bank annexation, but claimed “we will also succeed in that.”

“When my Jewish grandmother told me about the Holocaust, she told me never again.” A Jewish student interrupted an Israeli soldier’s speech at Rutgers University in the US and condemned Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza.

@btselem @_ZachFoster Thank you for your great work!

Thousands of Israelis celebrated Independence Day on the ruins of Ras ‘Ein al-‘Auja, the largest Palestinian community in the Jordan Valley, which the military expelled just months ago with the help of settler militias. The lives of the 125 families in the community – 625 people, 333 of them minors – were violently upended by the Israeli regime. Since October 2023, Israel has expelled 59 entire Palestinian communities and partially expelled 16 more: all in all, 4,510 people driven out of their homes to promote Israel’s policy of ethnic cleansing in the West Bank. See the full list of expelled Palestinian communities >> btselem.org/settler_violen…

So glad to see this book come to light. A powerful exposé of media complicity in manufacturing consent that has enabled mass atrocities in Palestine. May there be accountability.
