Think I’ve reached the limit to seeing footage of horrific settler violence in the West Bank. Pregnant women attacked, children shot, beaten with clubs, a chained up dog belonging to a Palestinian family being horrifically clubbed to death by an Israeli settler. When does it end?

Two women disappear after last being seen with Israeli soldiers in Gaza. Where are they? And what happened to them? We ask is this Israeli policy? And how many more Palestinians have disappeared? With @GLAN_LAW INVESTIGATORS AND @SkyNews Data and Forensics @_BvdM @McGarwen @CunninghamCSky

A mother and daughter from Gaza were last pictured blindfolded in the back of an Israeli military vehicle in December 2023. @AlexCrawfordSky and Sky's Data and Forensics team have traced their last known movements.

@JohnSimpsonNews So most were terrorists then. Maybe the focus can be to put pressure on those same terrorist organizations to stop dressing up as medics/ journalists or pretending to be civilians as it’s getting the innocent killed?

To those who believe the journalists killed in Gaza were all Hamas operatives, Israel’s Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center stated that roughly 60% of the media workers and journalists killed in Gaza since October 2023 were linked to "terrorist organisations”. That indicates that 40% (well over a hundred) who were killed were just journalists, plain and simple. This figure alone (and it may be an underestimate) is something to be deeply concerned about.

@EerikNKross Your complete silence on Israel's targeting of medical workers in Lebanon and elsewhere is also noted. It seems that your support for Israel is so fanatical that you will support the country regardless of how unlawful or morally degraded its conduct becomes.

@EerikNKross You should be aware that attacking non-combatants is a war crime. It's extremely foolish to cheer on the targeting of journalists as you are essentially saying that you do not believe in international law and by doing so you are putting journalists everywhere at greater risk.

Great undercover reporting by @DeclassifiedUK showing that a British registered charity UK Toremet may be passing money to settler groups in occupied Palestine in breach of charity law. The full video report is below. Here is their summary. An Israeli organisation has been caught on camera offering to help British citizens move to an illegal settlement in the West Bank. Declassified can reveal how the group, Shivat Zion, told supporters it could benefit from UK tax subsidies – despite staff bragging about “awesome” settlements. An undercover investigation saw the group’s “encouragement” officer discussing the support it would give settlers moving to Efrat, in the West Bank. “You’re next to the Arabs; you’ll hear their mosques,” he was recorded saying. “But apart from this, it’s a great living standard.” The comments were made during a Zoom call with a Jewish anti-Zionist activist, who asked Declassified to secretly film the conversation. In February, the UK government promised to take “concrete steps in accordance with international law to counter settlement expansion”. Foreign minister Hamish Falconer said: “Israel’s illegal settlements and decisions designed to further them are a flagrant violation of international law”. But Declassified can reveal how Shivat Zion invited supporters to claim UK Gift Aid when making donations. Despite being registered in Israel, it directed donations to a separate charity called UK Toremet Ltd, based near London. In an email seen by Declassified, a representative from Shivat Zion claimed that donations “go through” the UK Toremet charity, explaining that this “ensures the donations properly reach Shivat Zion”. If money were to be received this way, it could mean that support for illegal settlers could potentially benefit from British tax subsidies. #DismantleZionism

From the declaration of the “ceasefire” on 10 October 2025 through 8 April 2026, Israel killed 736 people across the Gaza Strip. Around 150 of them were killed during the joint Israeli‑American attack on Iran. “The yellow line,” drawn as part of the Trump plan and leaving more than half of Gaza’s territory under Israeli control on a “temporary” basis, has become an arena of killing and repeated displacement of Palestinians and is solidifying into a de facto border. According to recent satellite‑image analysis, since the “ceasefire” began, the Israeli military has erected seven new posts along the yellow line, shifted its route to bite off more of Gaza’s land, and begun constructing a ground barrier stretching for kilometers. Gaza’s roughly 2.1 million residents are forced to crowd into an area that amounts to less than half of the Strip’s territory. More than one million displaced people urgently need basic shelter supplies. Most live in makeshift tents, vulnerable to flooding and inhuman sanitation conditions, or in damaged structures at immediate risk of collapse. With the onset of the attack on Iran, Israel imposed draconian restrictions on the entry of humanitarian supplies into the Strip, causing a roughly 80% drop in the number of aid trucks entering. With crossings closed, the number of patients allowed to leave the Strip for urgent medical treatment plummeted to 16 in March, while more than 18,500 patients who need treatment outside Gaza are unable to leave. Gaza’s healthcare system, almost entirely destroyed in the Israeli assault, is now expected to cope with a massive patient load amid severe shortages of medicines, medical equipment and fuel. The closure of the crossings has also exacerbated Gaza’s food crisis: basic commodities have disappeared from markets, and the prices of other goods have soared beyond the reach of most of the population. As a result, about 1.6 million people are expected to face hunger this month. Six months into the so-called ceasefire, the killing, destruction, starvation and displacement persist, while the international community continues to turn its back on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and to enable the genocide carried out by Israel.

@TinaFuhr @WSJ The article omits to mention accusations of Israeli war crimes & genocide in Gaza, or ongoing ethnic cleansing in the West Bank. Surely relevant? Describing Israel's response as a "ferocious counter attack on militants" doesn't reflect the reality that civilians were targeted.

Terrible, unspeakable massacres are happening every day in Lebanon Nowhere near enough coverage in Western media I recommend following @sahouraxo @cbonneauimages This is all supported & enabled by the West. We need to know what is happening
sarah@sahouraxo

Israel massacred 12 paramedics in a single strike in South Lebanon. Paramedics who were on the front lines saving lives. This is medicide. Journalist Courtney Bonneau: “Americans, your tax money is being used to murder unarmed men, women and children.”

Under cover of the ongoing Israeli-American assault on Iran, ethnic cleansing in the West Bank grows deeper. Armed settler militias, backed by the Israeli military, invade Palestinian communities daily, attacking families in their homes with clubs, stones, and tear gas, and firing live ammunition. Over the past week, six Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank. On Monday, March 2, an armed settler militia killed brothers Muhammad ‘Azem (51) and Fahim ‘Azem (47) in the village of Qaryut. On Saturday, March 7, an armed settler killed Amir Muhammad Shanaran (26) in Khirbet Wadi a-Rahim. On Sunday, March 8, settlers killed Fare’ Jawdat Abu Nurah (57) in Khirbet Abu Falah. Military forces who joined the assault killed Thaer Faruq Hamayel (30) and fired massive quantities of tear gas into the village. Another resident, Muhammad Jawdat Abu Nurah (55), had a cardiac arrest and was rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead, apparently due to gas inhalation. The unbridled violence unleashed by settlers throughout the West Bank is another facet of the Israeli regime’s deadly violence against Palestinians. These daily attacks are part of Israel’s ongoing effort to seize Palestinian land and advance its policies of dispossession and ethnic cleansing.
