Israeli authorities issued an expropriation order today (Feb. 17) to seize approximately 2,000 dunums (about 500 acres) of Palestinian land in Sebastia and Burqa, northwest of Nablus, in what amounts to the largest ever seizure of archaeologically significant land in the West Bank since 1967, Palestinian Information Center reports. The confiscation extends far beyond the 60-dunum acropolis visited by tourists. It includes the full archaeological site, surrounding farmland—home to roughly 3,000 ancient Roman olive trees—and key access routes used by residents. About 3,500 Palestinian residents rely heavily on tourism and olive cultivation. The order will affect roughly 550 agricultural plots, eight homes, and several tourism and industrial facilities. Israel plans to convert the area into “Shomron National Park,” a project geared largely toward settlers. Palestinian and international observers describe the move as using archaeology to entrench settlement expansion and advance de facto annexation. Sebastia has been continuously inhabited for roughly 3,000 years. The site contains remains from the Iron Age, when it served as the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Israel, as well as Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Crusader, and Ottoman periods. Video: Journalist Jasper Nathaniel reported from the site recently. ⏬

To justify driving Palestinians off their land, settlers claim they’re destroying Sebastia’s ancient ruins and erasing Jewish heritage. Now that settlers have seized an archaeological site and started their own digs, their “respect” for the history there speaks for itself.

@BBCNews As if he didn't use this to further his myth of a cabolt of 'elites'... As if he wasn't an 'elite'... 🙃 Has he actually said a word or more than a word on the victims & survivors?? Or is he bored of exploiting their trauma and pain?? 🤔 #Trump #EpsteinFiles #VictimRights #USA

@BBCNews If someone is attending a hospital/GP appointment, what makes us think they don't need a taxi? This is simply unnecessarily cruel. Moreover, shows the disconcerting ways the far right are able to force ignorant and nonsensical policies 😮‍💨

To any #ReformUK would-be voters, be very aware that the loyalty these defectors have shown to their OG parties, is the SAME amount of loyalty they'll show against Trump's threats and demands of absolute loyalty. Heck if #Farage could formally sell us to #Trump he'd do it now...

@BBCBreaking All the failures jumping ship🤣 to join a party whose members do not and will not EVER see you as 'British'. A party whose main aims are to sow hatred, division and enable bigotry. We've said it before and we'll say it again: not all representation is GOOD representation.

@novaramedia May 2026 onwards *Raise The Colours has attacked and k#^&ed X migrants (both 2nd & 1st gen.). They're now being courted by Reform UK, Tories and Labour. Starmer 'condemns' their actions, but feels they reflect the 'alienation' some (read white) people feel from UK politics.*

"We really do want to do the Keir Starmer, we’re going to smash the gangs.” Last summer, a group called Raise the Colours erected thousands of St George’s and union jack flags around the country. Now, after a tacit endorsement by the prime minister, they're name-checking him as they head to Calais harass migrants amid reports of swastikas painted on water containers meant for displaced people.

We urge David Lammy to immediately authorise a senior official to meet with the legal representatives of Heba Muraisi and Kamran Ahmed - both on prolonged hunger strike and at extreme risk of death. Their representatives have repeatedly requested this meeting and it is now critical to prevent a tragedy. Amnesty International has long opposed the misuse of terrorism powers that has led to lengthy, oppressive, and disproportionate detention conditions, contributing directly to this crisis. Action is needed now to: ✅ Guarantee communication with legal representatives ✅ Ensure proper family contact ✅ Provide urgent and appropriate medical care This situation is drastic and urgent. #HumanRights #ActNow #EndMisuseOfTerrorismPowers

@RupertLowe10 The only 'mutilation' occurring, is how politicians like you are trying to spin this to gain attention. Apparently, stirring hate & violence against one of the most vulnerable marginalised communities in recent times, through ignorance sells.

@spectator The levels of bootlicking by so many 'leaders', mainstream media, and institutions remains sickening. Venezuela deserves liberation, but it's just swapped one overpowered man-child for another. And Greenlanders have spoken. Clear as day 👇🏿

Donald Trump’s dramatic intervention in Venezuela has achieved much more than to bring a brutal, corrupt dictator and drug trafficker to justice in an American court of law, something which no amount of human rights declarations, international law or indictments in the international criminal court were able to achieve. It took President Trump deciding it was in America’s interests to helicopter Nicolas Maduro to face justice, and this is the awful truth that Europe’s political leaders are coming to terms with: Trump has the means and the will and they don’t. ✍️ Peter Mandelson

@spectator Sometimes when you're fired, it's best to stay out of the affairs of the reason you were fired🤫 Sigh, but I guess, Lord Mandelson and Trump are both on this grift to make people forget their mutual friend. Who's files have still not fully been released... Good try though 👍🏿

@spectator Interesting you're not mentioning how none of the Reform UK 'DOGE' plans have been successful so far. Or the number of former classmates of Farage have spoken out about his racism. I wonder why 🤔

Nigel Farage is ‘fixated’ on May’s local elections, another ally says, at which point he hopes to convert his party’s lead in the opinion polls into huge gains in the Welsh and Scottish parliaments and the English councils. After that, attention will be on whether Reform can evolve from an insurgency into a potential majority government. ✍️ Tim Shipman

Trump excuses himself from breaching the isolationist pledge by insisting that he is merely rewriting the Monroe Doctrine – that the USA will confine itself to military meddling only in its own backyard, i.e. the western hemisphere. ✍️ Rod Liddle

@BBCNews Doesn't AT ALL sound like liberation was never the plan, just theft and domination by another bully embodying American Imperialism... Not. At. All.
