West Bank Settlers Held Rep. Ro Khanna at Gunpoint at Destroyed School

(The genetic freak inbred Zionist settlers don't care. They just want to steal land. They aren't smart enough to drive much less worry about Israel's international reputation and or relationship with the political left in the States. All they know is what they want and how to stick their junk in their sisters to make more little genetic freak inbred Zionist settlers.) 

from AntiWar

US Representative Ro Khanna (D – CA) reports that he was held at gunpoint for more than an hour earlier this week during his visit to the occupied West Bank when Israeli settlers confronted his entourage as he toured a destroyed Palestinian village.

“We were at a village that Israeli settlers had destroyed, they had destroyed the school, they had destroyed that village, and we were just looking at it,” Khanna said. “And these hoodlums come in with machine guns – M4, an American-made machine gun – and they detain us. They block off the road.”

The incident took place at the destroyed village of Khirbet Zanuta, a village near Hebron that was reported “ethnically cleansed” by settlers in 2023. Khanna reported that the settler group summoned the IDF and that the IDF sided with the settlers over the Americans...

Israeli troops shoot 7-month-old baby in the face, kill 10 Gazans

from the Daily Sabah

Israeli troops shot a seven-month-old Palestinian baby in the face, killing him instantly, and wounded his parents when they shot at a car in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian Health Ministry said Saturday.

The Israeli military claimed that its soldiers shot at the vehicle perceived to be accelerating toward them near Hebron on Friday. It said an initial inquiry found that the three Palestinians wounded were uninvolved civilians.

Israeli military activity and settler violence against Palestinians have surged in the territory since the war in Gaza began in October 2023.

The baby's father, Bethlehem University Lecturer Fahd Abu Haikal, told The Associated Press that a bullet struck the windshield before piercing his right hand and striking his son and wife in the back seat Friday evening. Another bullet struck the hood, according to AP journalists who saw the car.

The bullet passed through Sam Fahd Abu Haikal's face.

"He was the entire world," Haikal said of the boy, who turned 7 months Friday.

The mother was in critical condition, with shrapnel close to her heart.

The baby's body was wrapped in a Palestinian flag. His father carried him. The men placed the small bundle at their feet and bowed in prayer.

The father demanded justice. "At the end, they tell you it was a mistake," he said. "Nothing is called a mistake."...

'The settlers are in control': How the West Bank is being ethnically cleansed

(Here's your 'one state solution')

from Middle East Eye

The 50km journey from Ramallah north to Nablus in the occupied West Bank used to take an hour. Israeli checkpoints now mean it can take half a day or more.

It’s Friday morning and I’m on a bus full of students and young families going to stay with relatives for the weekend.

We swing left to join Highway 60, which runs along the ancient route from Hebron in the south to Jenin and Nazareth to the north.

In Ottoman times it was known as the “route of the thieves”, with robbers lying in wait for unwary travellers. Today the thieves are Israeli settlers.

W. Bank mass strike against Israel death penalty law halts daily life

(A settler can't be put to death if he kills a Palestinian. This law is racist. Jewish supremacy codified into Israeli law once again.) 

from Daily Sabah

A general strike protesting Israel’s new law allowing the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners largely brought daily life to a halt across the occupied West Bank on Wednesday.

Shops, public and private institutions, banks, universities, and schools closed, while hospitals and bakeries remained open, according to the Turkish Anadolu Agency (AA).

Streets in Ramallah, the seat of the Palestinian Authority, appeared largely empty, with businesses shuttered.

The strike followed a call by the Fatah movement, which had announced a comprehensive shutdown a day earlier to oppose the law.

Fatah said the strike was part of efforts to overturn the Israeli legislation, describing it as a dangerous escalation and a violation targeting Palestinians.

The group also called for broader public mobilization and increased regional and international pressure to repeal the law.

Simultaneously, thousands marched in Ramallah Wednesday to protest the law, following a rally organized by prisoner advocacy groups, including the Palestinian Prisoner Society, the Commission of Detainees’ Affairs and Addameer rights group in central Manara Square...

Family Outing in West Bank Ends in Hail of Israeli Gunfire

(It's getting so bad, the PR is, even the New York Times is starting to throw the settlers under the bus. When is the last time you saw a published article in the flagship propaganda outlet describe any Jewish person as an extremist or present the Palestinians as the victims?)

from the New York Times

Ali Bani Odeh’s wife and four young boys hadn’t seen him in a month and a half when he came home to Tammun, in the West Bank, from his construction job in Israel late on Friday to spend the last few days of Ramadan with his family.

On Saturday night, the boys persuaded him to take them out for a drive. Eid al-Fitr, the end of Ramadan, was coming, so there were new clothes to buy. The day’s fast had been broken, so there were sweets to be had, too.

They picked up fried doughnut holes in Tubas, saving them for later, but the clothing shop they went to in Nablus was closed. It was already past midnight, so they headed back to Tammun: Khaled, 11, the oldest, in the back with Mustafa, 8, and Muhammad, 5. Othman, 6, blind and incapable of walking or feeding himself, was in his mother’s lap in front.

As they rounded a corner slowly, a few minutes from home, young Khaled and Mustafa recounted on Sunday, their mother, Waad, 35, asked her husband to pull over and take Othman from her so she could get something from her bag on the floor. Suddenly, the boys said, they saw laser pointers shining on their family from every direction, heard their mother scream, heard their father say “God is great” — and then heard a deafening fusillade of gunfire.

The Israeli police and military, in a joint statement Sunday morning, said that border police officers and soldiers, while on a mission in Tammun to arrest suspected terrorists, had “sensed danger” after a vehicle “accelerated towards” them and “responded by shooting.” They said the circumstances of the episode were being investigated.

The two accounts could not have been more contradictory. But one fact was undisputed: Mr. Bani Odeh, 37, his wife, Othman and Muhammad were all shot and killed.

The Israeli-occupied West Bank is under siege as it has not been in years, with extremist Israeli settlers terrorizing Palestinian villagers on hillsides and in valleys where they live near one another. The body count is rapidly piling up: Seven Palestinians have been killed so far this year, all but one of those since the war with Iran began on Feb. 28...

Huckabee Accused of Inciting Murder After Israeli Settlers Kill Palestinian-American Teen

(Guess they are going to have to buy more spots for that stupid Super Bowl commercial after this one.) 

from Common Dreams

Human rights defenders this week accused US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee—who recently endorsed Israel conquering much of the Middle East—of inciting deadly violence after Israeli colonists in the illegally occupied West Bank of Palestine fatally shot a Palestinian-American teenager who was trying to stop settlers from stealing livestock.

Nasrallah Abu Siyam, 19, was shot dead last Wednesday by a masked Israeli settler armed with an M-16 rifle in the village of Mukhmas, where the 19-year-old Philadelphia native had been living and helping his father, Mohammed Abu Siyam, tend the family’s livestock and cultivate their olive trees. 

According to eyewitness accounts as reported by independent New York journalist and Palestine specialist Jasper Diamond Nathaniel:

At least four other local Palestinians were wounded by settler gunfire during the invasion of the village, including another young man whose foot may be amputated. Some were shot while carrying the wounded to safety. Many others were severely beaten with metal rods. Israeli soldiers, who accompanied the settlers into the village, responded to the shooting rampage by firing stun grenades and tear gas into the residential area, burning an elderly man. When it was over, settlers walked off with more than 300 of the village’s sheep and goats under the military’s watch. It was the first full day of Ramadan. As of this writing, no one has been arrested.

While human rights groups and some Democratic US lawmakers have called for a full investigation into Abu Siyam’s killing, Huckabee has so far been silent. Last July, Huckabee responded to Israeli settlers’ killing of 23-year-old Palestinian-American Sayfollah Musallet, who was beaten to death while visiting relatives in the West Bank, as “a criminal and terrorist act” that Israeli authorities should “aggressively investigate.” As is usually the case when Israeli settlers kill Palestinians, no one has been charged for killing Musallet...

Eight Arab-Islamic nations condemn Israeli land grab move in West Bank

from al Mayadeen English

Eight Arab and Islamic countries on Tuesday issued a unified condemnation of "Israel’s" latest decision to designate vast areas in the occupied West Bank as “state land” and initiate comprehensive land registration procedures for the first time since 1967.

In a joint statement released from Doha, the foreign ministers of Qatar, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt described the move as a grave escalation designed to accelerate settlement expansion, entrench Israeli control, and impose what they termed unlawful sovereignty over occupied Palestinian territory.

The condemnation follows the Israeli cabinet’s approval on Sunday of a proposal to register large areas of the occupied West Bank as “state property", a move reportedly spearheaded by far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, alongside so-called Justice Minister Yariv Levin and Security Minister Israel Katz. Israeli media reported ahead of the vote that the plan envisions the gradual settlement of 15% of Area C by 2030.

Under the 1995 Oslo II Accord, the West Bank was divided into Areas A, B, and C. While Areas A and B fall under varying degrees of Palestinian administrative control, Area C, comprising roughly 61% of the territory, remains under full Israeli control and hosts the majority of illegal settlements. The newly approved policy focuses squarely on this zone...

Israeli settler violence driving exodus of West Bank Bedouins

from Daily Sabah

Bedouin families in a West Bank village are dismantling sheep pens and loading their belongings onto trucks as escalating settler violence forces them from their homes in the Israeli-occupied territory.

While attacks by Israeli settlers affect communities across the West Bank, the semi-nomadic Bedouins are among the territory's most vulnerable, saying they suffer from forced displacement due in large part to a lack of law enforcement.

"What is happening today is the complete collapse of the community as a result of the settlers' continuous and repeated attacks, day and night, for the past two years," Farhan Jahaleen, a Bedouin in the village of Ras Ein al-Auja, told Agence France-Presse (AFP).

Since Israel occupied the West Bank in 1967, Israeli outposts have steadily expanded, with more than 500,000 settlers now living in the territory, which is also home to 3 million Palestinians...

The Economist Interview Clips with Netanyahu

by Scott Creighton 

This series of clips comes from an interview the Economist did with Benjamin Netanyahu a couple days ago. Watch how he runs thru every single propaganda trick known to man to try to win over their American audience. The lies he tells, the projection (accusing Hamas of doing what the IDF is doing), the WhatAboutisms, the flagrant lies about beheadings and systemic rape and of course the dehumanizaion of the Arab people as a whole. It's disgusting and should be viewed by every American and seen for what it is: a desperate war criminal and Jewish supremacist trying desperately to justify their lust for more land and power in the region.

Watch his shifty eyes. He can't hold the gaza of the interviewers for more than a second as he lies thru his teeth. 

Also watch how they respond to his obvious bullshit. They aren't buying it and he knows it but he has to keep to the script no matter what. 

All of his lies have been exposed time and time again but he keeps at it because we are truly in a post modern or post truth world. Trump does the same thing. Just lies to your face and dares you to confront them.

Israel approves 764 new illegal settlement units in West Bank

from Daily Sabah

Israeli authorities have signed off on plans for 764 new illegal settlement units across the central West Bank, local media reported Wednesday, expanding construction in multiple settlements, in violation of international law.

According to Channel 7, the government's Higher Planning Council agreed to build 478 settler homes in the settlement of Hashmonaim, west of Ramallah in the central West Bank, 230 homes in Beitar Illit and 56 units in Giv’at Ze’ev.

There was no official Israeli statement on the building.

Israeli settlement construction has surged across the occupied West Bank since Benjamin Netanyahu’s current government took power at the end of 2022.

Local media said that 51,370 settler homes have been approved across the occupied territory since the beginning of the current government’s term...

Israeli forces kill 2 unarmed Palestinians in W. Bank after they surrender

from Daily Sabah

Israeli forces shot two Palestinian men on Thursday who appeared to be surrendering and unarmed during a raid in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, according to videos circulating on social media and broadcast by television channels.

In the footage, the men are seen exiting a building surrounded by armed Israeli forces in the northern West Bank city of Jenin, lifting their shirts and lying on the ground in an apparent surrender. The forces then appeared to direct the men back inside the building before opening fire at close range, with the men slumping down, apparently lifeless.

The Israeli army and police later on Thursday issued a joint statement announcing they had opened an investigation into the shooting, which the Palestinian Authority condemned as a "war crime" and a "brutal" summary execution.

The statement did not give any reason for why the forces opened fire, nor say that the two men had lain on the ground before they were directed back inside the building and shot. It said the shooting was "under review by the commanders on the ground, and will be transferred to the relevant professional bodies."...

UN warns of rising Israeli violence in West Bank as Palestinians face surge in attacks

(This is what Mike Huckabee was talking about before two zionist writers for the Times tricked the antiZionist left and right into attacking him over some shit from back in June or July. Talk about gullible.) 

from PressTV

The United Nations has warned that violence in the occupied West Bank is escalating sharply, with Palestinian civilians facing rising deaths, displacement and attacks by Israeli forces and settlers.

The UN humanitarian office documented 29 attacks by settlers in the West Bank from November 11-17, UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters Friday.

“Our humanitarian colleagues warned that the level of violence there remains deeply concerning, with casualties, property damage, displacement, loss of livelihoods and a strong sense of insecurity for Palestinian civilians,” he said.

According to Dujarric, the number of Palestinian children killed in the West Bank in 2025 has reached 50. “Overall," he said, "more than 200 Palestinians have now been killed by Israeli forces since the start of the year."...

Huckabee denounces settler violence as ‘terrorism,’ but says it’s not representative (and then Zionists on the Times attacks him)

(Isn't it funny? Two days ago Mike Huckabee called Israeli settlers 'terrorists' and 'thugs' and said there needs to be accountability for their actions in the West Bank... and suddenly today everyone in the 'alt media' is calling Huckabee a traitor for meeting with Pollard way back in JULY? What a coincidence. ಠ_ಠ ) 

(The Pollard meeting story came from the NYT. It was released to discredit Huckabee after he said what he did about the rabid settlers in the West Bank and was written by two Jewish reporters based out of Israel, Natan Odenheimer reported from Jerusalem, and Adam Rasgon from Tel Aviv)

'Rasgon’s October 2023 New Yorker piece, “The Hamas Propaganda War,”⁶ demonized Palestinian journalists — dozens of whom had already been massacred by Israeli airstrikes. He accused them of over-emphasizing civilian casualties of Israel's carnage and questioned the accuracy of the Gaza Health Ministry’s reported death toll...

Rasgon also co-authored an inflammatory October 2024 story⁹ alleging that secret documents — seized by the Israeli military and obtained by the Times — showed Iran had prior knowledge of the October 7th attacks. The authors failed to mention that a key Palestinian source credited with verifying the documents raised concerns about their veracity' The Dossier 

-- 

'Odenheimer served in the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) as a member of the “Maglan” special forces commando unit for almost four years...

In his reporting for the Times on the so-called “Israel-Hamas war,” Odenheimer has repeated Zionist talking points that shift blame for massacres away from the IOF and onto the victims. Most notably, he co-authored a July 2024 article accusing Palestinian resistance factions of intentionally placing civilians in harm's way' The Dossier 

(This is how weaponized journalism works. Always consider the source. Always consider the source. Always ... consider ... the ... source.)

from Times of Israel

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee roundly condemned the latest spate of violence by Israeli extremists against Palestinians in the West Bank, branding it “terrorism” and calling for “equal justice” and harsh consequences for all acts of terror whether carried out by Palestinians or Israelis.

In an interview that aired Wednesday night in the US, Huckabee also told NewsNation’s Elizabeth Vargas Reports that the perpetrators were small in number and not representative of Israeli settlers more broadly, and that Israel is dealing with the issue.

“I think there is an escalation,” he said regarding the attacks, calling them “acts of terrorism” and adding, “Let’s just be blunt, that’s what it is.”

Huckabee made the comments amid a rash of violence by Israeli extremists against West Bank Palestinians. Many of the attacks have targeted the West Bank’s olive harvest, and groups of assailants recently torched a mosque and, separately, carried out a string of arson attacks, among other acts of harassment.

According to United Nations figures, October saw the most attacks of this sort since at least 2006.

“Israelis can carry out terrorism as well,” Huckabee said. “But most of these people are not actual settlers who live there — there may be some, but this is a very small number, mostly of youth, angry and disaffected. These are thugs.”...

Israeli forces tighten siege on occupied West Bank village, block ambulances

from PressTV

Israeli forces have tightened the siege on the village of al-Mughayyir in the occupied West Bank for a fourth day, intensifying their raids on homes, arrests of residents, and destruction of farmland.

Local activist Mohammed Abu Alia said troops stormed more than 30 houses, ransacked belongings, and fired tear gas inside one residence.

He added that soldiers seized vehicles, money and jewelry, while barring residents and journalists from entering the village. Many families have been stranded outside since Thursday.

Bulldozers were also seen clearing land to make way for a new settler road through the eastern outskirts of the village, uprooting hundreds of trees in the process. 

The incursions follow claims that an illegal settler was injured in a shooting operation at a settlement outpost built on the grounds of al-Mughayyir.

Rawhi Fattouh, head of the Palestinian National Council, denounced the raid as part of a “systematic policy of forced displacement and ethnic cleansing.”

He said the violence in al-Mughayyir was directly linked to Israel’s broader settlement agenda, including the recently approved E1 plan east of al-Quds.

Critics say the controversial scheme would sever the West Bank and prevent a viable Palestinian state...

Speaker Johnson Calls Illegally Occupied West Bank 'Integral Part' of Israel

from Common Dreams

House Speaker Mike Johnson on Monday led a high-level Republican delegation on a visit to the occupied West Bank, where the second-in-line to the U.S. presidency told a rapt audience in an illegal Jewish settler colony that they are the rightful owners of the Palestinian territory.

"The mountains of Judea and Samaria are the rightful property of the Jewish people," Johnson (R-La.) said in Ariel, using the biblical name for the West Bank, which includes East Jerusalem. Ariel was built on land stolen from the Palestinian towns of Salfit, Marda, and Iskaka after Israeli forces conquered the West Bank in a 1967 war waged on false pretense of an imminent threat of Egyptian and Syrian attack.

"Judea and Samaria are the front line of the state of Israel and must remain an integral part of it," Johnson added.

The Palestinian Foreign Ministry condemned Johnson's visit, calling his endorsement of Israeli annexation a "blatant violation of international law."

"All settlement activity is illegal and void," the ministry stressed, adding that Johnson's stance "undermines Arab and American efforts to stop the war and cycle of violence, while flagrantly contradicting the declared U.S. position on settlements and settler violence."...

Lessons from Ozymandias

by Scott Creighton

Where does the 'Jewish State' go from here after killing so many to benefit so few? After openly calling to steal the West Bank and then Gaza by torturing and killing their rightful inhabitants? 

Where does the 'Jewish State' go after turning a blind eye to the starvation of children for their profit, for Greater Israel?

 

A once proud and mighty people lost to the sands of time. It's a story played out without end. 

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desart.^[d] Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
No thing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

— Percy Shelley, "Ozymandias", 1819 edition

 

Where will the mighty 'Jewish State' go after letting greed usurp humanity?

The libraries are full of examples, there for the taking. But the Kings of Kings heed no warnings, can learn no lessons. They are his 'chosen' people.

Hezbollah condemns Israeli vote on 'sovereignty' over West Bank

from al Mayadeen English

Hezbollah has strongly condemned the Israeli Knesset’s vote on Wednesday in favor of a bill to impose “Israeli sovereignty” over the occupied West Bank and Jordan Valley, describing it as a dangerous reaffirmation of "Israel's" expansionist and colonial agenda.

In a statement issued Thursday, Hezbollah warned that allowing the Israeli occupation to continue its actions unchallenged would only embolden further aggression. “The Israeli occupation will not stop at the borders of the West Bank, al-Quds, or Palestine,” the Lebanese Resistance declared, adding that “its plans will eventually encompass the entire region.”

Hezbollah stressed that no country or group in the region is safe from what it described as a broader Israeli scheme for regional control. It linked the continued military aggression on Lebanon and Syria, including attacks, incursions, and land seizures, as well as the war on Yemen, to a unified strategy aimed at advancing the Israeli entity’s expansionist ambitions. 

It said the Knesset’s move comes amid the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza.

“With each passing day of the war on the Palestinian people, and the ongoing genocide, siege, and starvation campaign in Gaza, the expansionist Israeli policies and the Talmudic dreams of establishing what is called the historical homeland of the Jewish people are surfacing more blatantly,” Hezbollah's statement read...
