March 8, 2026 Morning --- "This is Area C, a military area, so you have to get out of here." "But we've been here for 50 years." "It's better for you to leave than for us to expel you." This conversation took place yesterday, between Col. Gilad Shriki, commander of the Valley Brigade, and members of one of the Palestinian shepherd communities in the northern Valley. Shriki knows exactly what he's talking about. He is responsible on the ground for carrying out the orders of the echelon above him, Brigadier General Oren Simkha, the commander of Central Command Major General Avi Bluth, and with the highest military authority, the Chief of Staff, Major General Eyal Zamir. When Shriki tells members of another community - the day will not be far when the Civil Administration will destroy the compound, here too, he knows what he is talking about. Shriki, like all of us, knows that the head of the Civil Administration, Brigadier General Hisham Ibrahim, is carrying out the orders of Minister Smotrich and he has already made his goal clear more than once - as much territory with as few Palestinians as possible. Everyone in the chain of execution of the orders is "just carrying out orders." But Shriki's smile betrays his mind and intentions. How can I help you? He asks with sweet lips. I don't want there to be clashes, I know this is your territory and I will make sure there are no clashes. He said this sentence to the community that is being attacked with severe violence by Settlers who come every night and throw large stones into houses, break solar panels, destroy the local school and all this in front of the eyes of the soldiers who sit in the nearby military base. Needless to say, there are no Jewish detainees, ever. There are Palestinian detainees, every day, Col. Shriki "takes care" of you... Hello, how long have you lived here? I have been in this place for 23 years, I came from a nearby community, where I was born. Where do you herd your flock? There on the hill, by the house. There is a firing zone. It is forbidden. If you have another place to go, maybe Tammun, go wherever you want. Go away from here, you will be better off. It is a shame for your children. It is difficult here. It is not difficult for us, we want to live here on our land. What a waste of your money and time. This is Area C, this is all Israel. Deprivation of livelihood. Deprivation of education. Transfer. Ethnic cleansing. "Cleansing the area". Ghettos. Remind us what the next stage is? And what is the "Complete Victory" or the "Final Solution"?

Three Palestinian civilians were killed tonight by Israeli settlers and the Israeli army in the village of Abu Falah in the West Bank: 1. Thaer Hamayel, 24, was shot in the head by settlers. 2. Fare’e Hamayel, 57, was shot in the head by settlers. 3. Mohammad Marra, 55, suffocated from tear gas fired by the Israeli army.

BREAKING: Israeli settlers are burning Palestinian homes with families trapped inside. They are trying to burn people alive. This is terrorism.

The BBC World Service has compiled material on over 160 cases where children have been shot in Gaza, and found that in 95 cases the child was shot in the head or the chest. In most of these cases the victim was under 12 years old.

Israël pleegt genocide.

The bombing didn’t stop for a single minute today in Gaza. Sorry to disturb you. You can keep scrolling now.
