Major Israel pre-election ops in West Bank displace thousands

(There is no limit to the depravity of the Zionists. They are Satanists who believe there is no right or wrong only what you can get away with and what puts money or land in your pockets. They believe ignoring empathy and basic human moral norms make you stronger and smarter than other human beings since these things were created to keep us in check while the elites do as they wish. Empathy and morals are instinctual in humans. It's part of what made us so social and what led to our working together with others and the development of our advanced ability to communicate with each other. In short... Zionists willfully reject the very things that make us human and call that their strength.) 

from Daily Sabah

The Israeli military pressed ahead with a major operation in the occupied West Bank Sunday, displacing thousands of Palestinians and restricting movement following a Friday attack in Hebron that killed two Israeli soldiers and wounded three.

The operation comes as Israel enters the final days before a tense election, which is largely seen as a referendum on current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s leadership and security policies during the past three years of war.

Most Palestinian workers with permits will not be allowed to enter Israeli settlements for work in the occupied West Bank Sunday and Monday, and crossings into Israel will remain closed until after Israel’s elections Tuesday, the Israeli military said.

The military said it operated in more than 400 different locations over the weekend and arrested 40 Palestinians it claimed were affiliated with Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad. It said the operation is continuing at the same intensity Sunday.

The Hebron municipality said the operation displaced more than 2,200 people, including nearly 300 children under the age of 18...

Attack on IDf Checkpoint is WILDLY Suspect

There was a professional AFP photographer there taking pictures BEFORE it started. The gunmen were driving an Israeli vehicle. Home demolitions started immediately stealing people's property that had NOTHING to do with the attack. And of course... the election is in 3 days. And oh yeah, Palestinian militias have been helping the IDF for DECADES. What's even worse is the fact that Smotrich and others immediately went over there to do campaign ads in front of bulldozers destroying homes because, as the rest of the world recoils from the collective punishment, Israeli citizens must be expected to want to vote for the monsters doing this inhumane stuff. Zionism is a mental illness.

Israeli settler violence in West Bank spiraling out of control

(Zionism is a mental illness) 

from Daily Sabah

UN. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned Thursday that escalating violence in the Israeli-occupied West Bank has spiraled out of control, with mounting attacks by Israeli settler terrorists threatening to forcibly displace Palestinian communities from their land.

"In the occupied West Bank, Palestinians continue to suffer daily attacks by Israeli settlers. The clear goal is to drive communities off their land," Guterres told reporters.

He said the situation in the occupied territories is "simply out of control" as Israeli illegal settlers also target journalists and diplomats.

On Gaza, the U.N. chief pointed out that essential humanitarian assistance remains "severely restricted" ahead of winter, compounding obstacles facing the Security Council-backed roadmap to resolve the conflict...

Israeli settlers suspected of attacking journalist and diplomats released

(Israel continues to show the world they are a rogue nation that supports terrorists and criminals. Someone threw a rock to defend themselves so these petty little cowardly thugs are allowed to viciously attack a woman, kick her while she's on the ground and then steal everything their little hands could grab. It is a sick nation to the core and they prove it every fucking day.)

(Zionism is a mental illness) 

from Middle East Eye 

Nine of the 10 Israeli settlers arrested on suspicion of attacking a Washington Post photojournalist and European diplomats over the weekend have been released from custody, Haaretz reported on Wednesday.

A Jerusalem District Court released five suspects on Wednesday, while police released another. Three others had been released on the day of their arrest on Monday, according to the report.

The court found that police had presented evidence linking the suspects to the attacks. However, the judge said the incident took place “in the midst of a much larger event of massive stone-throwing” by Palestinians.

Four of the suspects, all settlers from the occupied West Bank, were released by the court despite police requests to extend their detention.

West Bank Settlers Attack, Hospitalize Washington Post Journalist in Olive Grove Attack

(Fascists love beating on women don't they? Makes em feel strong. Of course these supremacist inbred fascists go a little further and kick the woman while she's down and then steal everything of value she has on her playing into the worst stereotypes of covetous thieving Jews but who cares. They get away with anything over there.) 

from AntiWar

Violence against Palestinians and the press has been on going problem in Israel in general for years, but the level of such incidents in the occupied West Bank has reached a fevered pitch in recent months, with Israeli settlers attacking people with virtual impunity.

The latest attack saw Washington Post veteran photojournalist Heidi Levine among the casualties. She and others were attacked by settlers clad in black near the town of Birzeit. The 63-year-old Levine was wearing a press vest and helmet, and was knocked to the ground and beaten badly enough to put her in the hospital. Others involved in the olive harvest were similarly beaten and at least one was shot.

Israeli troops arrived at the scene during the attack, but reportedly did effectively nothing to stop the settlers, firing tear gas at the Palestinians and then standing by the settlers as the beatings continued...

'Israel' dragging out wars until elections: Israeli media

from al Mayadeen English

Israeli political commentator Ran Edelist argued in a recent opinion piece in Maariv that the wars the Israeli regime is waging across Lebanon, Syria, Gaza and the West Bank are being deliberately prolonged by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his coalition partners to sustain a climate of fear through the next election, regardless of the human cost.

Edelist described the wars as "sham wars" designed to keep Israeli society anxious and consolidate political support ahead of the vote. He wrote that soldiers and civilians continue to be wounded and killed while Netanyahu and his partners operate on an "after us, the flood" logic, with electoral gain outweighing any cost in lives.

He also argued that the political opposition, despite fielding a roster of former generals, has failed to challenge this strategy publicly, calling its silence a product of deference to the military establishment rather than a genuine alternative security policy...

US Amb. Huckabee doubles down on ‘terror’ label for Israeli occupier violence

from MEMO

The US Amb. to Israel, Mike Huckabee, reaffirmed his condemnation Tuesday of extremist occupier violence in the occupied West Bank, asserting that the actions meet the American definition of terrorism.

“Once it involves an American citizen, then our involvement is pretty much automatic and it’s going to be significant because that’s our job,” Huckabee told Channel 12 in Israel. He noted that while Washington would otherwise only express concerns, the targeting of an American’s home in Qusra necessitated direct involvement.

Huckabee, a staunch ally of Israel, rejected pushback from Israeli officials about his terminology. “I’ll use the word terror,” he said, explaining that any act intended to put individuals in fear for their lives or force behavioral changes constitutes terrorism under US law. He emphasized that it applies whether the targets are nations, families, or specific individuals.

The remarks follow a siege of Palestinian homes in Qusra by Israeli occupiers, including one belonging to a dual US citizen. Earlier this month, the UN warned that violence by occupiers had reached unprecedented levels, reporting more than 1,430 attacks on Palestinians and their property since the start of 2026...

Katz’s covert plan for full annexation of West Bank

from Tehran Times

Israel Katz, the so-called Israeli defense minister, announced on Friday that he had instructed the military to draft a plan to transfer enforcement powers for civilian matters in the occupied West Bank from the army to the police, a move that is viewed as a full annexation of the West Bank.

Katz’s move comes as Israeli police fall under the National Security Ministry headed by far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, a leading advocate of settlement expansion and Israeli sovereignty over the occupied West Bank.

Palestinian factions and officials and even Israeli human peace activists and politicians have condemned the measure, describing it as another step toward de facto annexation...

Israeli forces raid multiple West Bank areas, abduct Palestinians as settlers attack homes, vehicles

from Press TV

On Tuesday, the forces raided residential areas, searched Palestinian homes, and used live fire, stun grenades, and tear gas during operations in several West Bank areas, according to the Palestinian Shehab News Agency.

At least eight young men were abducted during the raids.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society said a Palestinian civilian was shot and wounded during an Israeli military raid in eastern Nablus. Israeli troops also threw tear gas grenades at civilians as the assault continued in the area.

In Jenin in northern West Bank, Israeli forces entered the towns of Qabatiya, Fahma, and Kafr Ra'i. The forces fired stun grenades during raids in Fahma and Kafr Ra'i.

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...
