Israeli settlers sexually assaulted a Palestinian man during a violent overnight raid on Khirbet Humsa in the northern Jordan Valley, according to witness testimonies reported by Haaretz. Witnesses say dozens of masked settlers stormed the community around 1 a.m., dragged families from their tents, zip-tied men, women, and children, and forced them to watch as the man was stripped, doused with water, and beaten into the ground with clubs.
Residents and two international activists said settlers beat girls and teenage girls, smashed heads and limbs, and piled bound family members—men, women, and children—on top of each other while continuing the assault. Victims were blindfolded, kicked, and struck repeatedly, while settlers threatened to kill the children and rape the women.
Settlers also cut one man with a knife, stole valuables, and released livestock. Six people were evacuated for treatment. Residents said Israeli soldiers later detained them, allowing the settlers to flee.

How Israel is using the war on Iran to control religious sites in Jerusalem
"Israel is using the war on Iran as a thinly veiled excuse to expand its control over religious sites in Jerusalem and the rest of the occupied Palestinian territories"
✍️Opinion by Dania Abul Haj

Several Palestinians were injured after Israeli forces attacked them while performing Taraweeh prayers near the Bab al-Sahira area, with some also being abducted.
Israeli authorities have informed the Islamic Waqf, the body responsible for overseeing Al-Aqsa Mosque, that it will keep the site closed through Eid al-Fitr and beyond

The leading Israeli scholars of the Holocaust and of genocide - Omer Bartov, Daniel Blatman, Amos Goldberg - all agree that Gaza is a genocide.
So do Israel’s top human rights groups Btselem and Physicians for Human Rights-Israel.
Give it up with the antisemitism smear.
This is what it looks like when you give Zionists everything they want. This is Zionism put into practice.
The wars.
The massacres.
The bombed-out schools and hospitals.
The millions of displaced individuals.
The invasion of Lebanon
The explosions carpeting Tehran.
The hollowed-out moonscape of Gaza.
The horrific pogroms in the West Bank.
The child amputees.
The smell of the rotting corpses.
The assassinated doctors and journalists.
The blackened sky and the poisoned water.
The nonstop deluge of brain-melting propaganda.
The aggressive promotion of Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism.
The erosion of free speech rights throughout the western world.
The corrupt warmongering politicians.
The legions of online hasbara trolls.
The soaring fuel prices.
Money which could pay for social services buying bombs for Israel instead.
All the death, destruction, instability and suffering that's being visited upon countless civilians throughout west Asia.
This is Zionism. This is what it looks like when you apply the political ideology of forcibly imposing the existence of a Jewish ethnonationalist apartheid state on historic Palestine. This is it. You're looking at it.
There is no alternate-reality version of Zionism where all these nightmares are not happening. There is no other kind of Zionism out there waiting in the wings. The liberal Zionist fantasy of a peaceful, egalitarian Israel is just that: a fantasy. It has never existed in real life.
In real life Israel cannot exist without nonstop violence and abuse. It's like a house that will fall down if it's not in a constant state of construction. At some point you realize the house should never have been built where it was built, and that steps need to be taken to rectify this error.
Zionism is a failed experiment. How do we know? Look around you.
Time to pull the plug.
EU "allies" massacre civilians in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran.
Former EU High Representative Borrell shows the EU has means to oppose Israeli/US killings and defend international law.
Yet the EU chooses complicity in ethnic cleansing & wars of aggression.

@BotengaM He did nothing for Gaza and totally ignored Israeli occupation war crimes, and this complicity resulted in severe economic consequences. Now, it's either join orange boy reckless war against Iran, or face the severe economic consequences.
The Zionist experiment is a disaster for Jewish people all over the world. I fear it has now arrived at a point where we will see a very significant rise in terrorism and antisemitism. It’s critical we understand that this below is the terrorism that has been taking place. But the shoe has been on the other foot, and it hasn’t mattered to the legacy media - gratitude to all the Jews around the world who have been calling this cruelty out. Humiliation, dispossession, oppression, torture, apartheid, genocide.
Same old bullshit. Using antisemitism to stop criticism of Israel & our corrupt political & corporate elite who support its genocide. No-one believes this anymore mainly because there are many Jews of integrity & principle who are highly critical of Israel & those who support its crimes. Antizionism is a Jewish ideology that is not antisemitic. Never Again is for everyone, not just Jews.
