Kudos to #JohnOliver for covering the violence in the West Bank. Israeli settlers and the army enjoy over 99% of impunity over their crimes agst Palestinians in the territory that Israel unlawfully occupies. Instead, Palestinians in the #oPt live under draconian military orders & courts. "No justice for the Palestinians under Israeli rule" is the harsh reality, not a slogan. That's #Apartheid

Ilan Pappé: The collapse of Zionism. Again @pappe54 analysis is precise, historical, and future looking as he identifies six points that are defining the collapse of the settler-colonial 'doctrine' of ZIonism. 1/ links.org.au/ilan-pappe-col…

Some state officials would not admit that Israel is committing genocide even if the Gvt of Israel sent them a Note Verbale with their genocidal intent explicited black on white. Wake up: Palestinians have been killed, maimed, abused, displaced, oppressed since even before the establishment of the State of Israel. As students' protests continue, I encourage them to use the encampments as a space for continuing self-education through relevant movies, talks, documentaries, books. If I were with them today, I would read with them #FrantzFanon (The Wretched of the Earth).

Palestinian children arbitrarily arrested & detained by the Israeli army are often coerced into becoming collaborators/informants, as I outlined in my second report on "deprivation of liberty." To understand the treatment of Palestinian children under Israeli occupation even before October 7, refer to my third report, presented shortly after October 7 & unfortunately overlooked by many: un.org/unispal/docume… Now, the situation is considerably worse. And risks to grow even worse if we do not use our power to stop it. #Unchilding

Western politicians and media outlets have shown nothing but contempt for Palestinian life. It won’t be forgotten - or forgiven. New column 👇 theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
