Israeli settlers set wheat fields ablaze in the village of Luban e-Sharkiya in the West Bank — the tenth location where fields have been set on fire today across the West Bank.

REVEALED: Inside Israel’s war on paramedics.
The National investigated four cases in which Israeli strikes killed first responders while they were carrying out rescue missions.
In each case, the paramedics were clearly identifiable as rescuers, and there was no indication of an immediate military threat that would justify the attack.
Legal experts said the cases reveal a pattern that appears "deliberate" and shows "clear intent" to target paramedics. 1/
Taybeh: The West Bank's last fully Christian village is on the verge of erasure.
Yesterday, Israeli soldiers stormed the village and attempted to shut down a Catholic Marian festival honoring the Virgin Mary.
The local church had to contact church authorities immediately — escalating the matter until it reached Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem.
Lex Pouliot, manager of Middle East projects for the Vulnerable People Project: "Our fear this morning was that radical settlers would disrupt preparations for the Marian Festival. Instead, it was far more disturbing to watch the Israeli military intervene."
Church leaders and residents are calling on the world to intervene before it's too late — they are under attack by the Israeli army and settlers. So far, no one seems to care, as the attacks on the village continue.
Israel appointed its first-ever Special Envoy to the Christian world this month. Has anyone heard from him about the attacks on Taybeh? https://t.co/tOCw1yfZE0
I can't believe the runway I have gotten out this meme over the last 9 weeks. What it says about the intelligence of the marginal market participant is stunning. @agnostoxxx
By the summer of 2024, Israeli infantry officers in Gaza were routinely press-ganging Palestinian civilians to serve as human shields. The practice became so widespread that it had its own name: the human shields were called “mosquitoes." https://t.co/mbrkNE3TR9
Det er peak NFF å bruke flere hundre millioner på en storstue på Haugenstua som står ferdig idet den gylne generasjonen med Haaland og Ødegaard er på vei ut — og vi er tilbake til 8000 mot Moldova.
Renover heller Ullevaal, og bruk mellomlegget på baner for barn og unge👍
BREAKING: The Israeli army raided the Christian village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank, stormed the village brewery, and blocked the owner from entering the compound.

Eight years ago, the UN Security Council unanimously condemned the deliberate starvation of civilians. But new analysis shows that hunger is being increasingly exploited as a weapon of war -- in Gaza, Sudan, Lebanon and Haiti among others. https://t.co/PE2EOa5tVS
@Gragasxrp They convinced Trump there would be a deal, then there was no deal.
That's how you make it through the long weekend without your adversary starting a weekend war.
I think I stated changing my view about Israel at a 1980s party in Manhattan where someone raised a New York Times story about IDF making it policy to break hands of Palestinian boys.
“There goes a generation of Palestinian pianists!”, one wit quipped. They all laughed.
I walked away, left soon.
"There is growing anger in some quarters that the Dutch government in particular—as host to the ICC in The Hague—has done little to protect ICC judges facing crippling sanctions or individual intimidation."

The Israeli settler who murdered a Palestinian in Wadi Rakhim, Masafer Yatta, two months ago returned today and threatened his family, telling them he would kill them too if they ever came back to their land.
He can do it again. Because he was never punished the first time.
Haaretz spoke with IDF soldiers who have been serving in Lebanon and paints a picture of a military with two main missions: Flattening houses and stealing anything they can. https://t.co/u1UH1wvF7P
The IDF has toughened the apartheid death penalty law in the West Bank. From this Sunday onward, the death penalty for Palestinians will apply in the West Bank. The version adopted by the military is even harsher than the original formulation passed by the Knesset 🧵
"נוח להרבה אנשים להאשים רק את המתנחלים, אבל האלימות הפרועה שמטרתה לגרש את הפלסטינים מאדמתם היא תוצאה של מדיניות ישראלית גלויה ושל מעורבות מלאה של הצבא", אומרת מנכ"לית "בצלם", יולי נובק בכתבתו של @oded_shalom ב@ynetnews על העמקת הטיהור האתני בגדה המערבית, "בני אדם חיים תחת אימה שבכל רגע נתון עלולות להגיע מיליציות של אזרחים חמושים, לתקוף אותם ולהשתלט על אדמותיהם ובתיהם".

Bezalel Smotrich is having a full meltdown over his ICC arrest warrant. Good: he, Ben Gvir, Netanyahu, defense ministers and generals are war criminals.
Hopefully there will come a day when Israeli society is healthy enough to turn them in to The Hague.
Bolivia's government has ordered the arrest of all the main leaders of the indigenous movements and mineworkers unions.
They're being charged for Terrorism for having organised the general strike against hunger. Strike continues regardless, now in day 7.
