B'Tselem's new 360° VR documentary, Raj’in (‘We Shall Return’), which follows Palestinian shepherding communities facing forced displacement in the occupied West Bank by Israel, has been selected for Venice Immersive at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival.

Raj’in (‘We Shall Return’) brings audiences face to face with an ongoing catastrophe: Israel is driving Palestinian communities from their land and homes as part of its project to eliminate Palestinian life in the West Bank. The world must recognize this as ethnic cleansing - and act to stop it.

Since October 2023, settler violence and military raids have forcibly displaced at least 4,635 Palestinians in the West Bank. So far, 62 Palestinian communities have been entirely forcibly displaced, with another 15 communities partially displaced.

Videos shared by settlers on social media lay bare the ideology of dispossession and ethnic cleansing that drives the settlement enterprise in the West Bank.

Leaders and members of settler militias openly boast about using violence to force Palestinian communities off their land and drive them from their homes. These actions are carried out with the military’s full backing and with the explicit encouragement and support of Israeli policymakers.

Since October 2023, settler violence and military raids have forcibly displaced at least 4,635 Palestinians in the West Bank. Entire communities have been driven out of their homes in 62 cases, with another 15 communities partially displaced.

Israel killing Palestinian children in occupied West Bank at highest rate since 1967
——
Israeli forces are killing Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank at the highest rate recorded since 1967, according to a report released on Monday by the Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem.

The group documented that 54 minors were shot dead in the territory over the course of 2025. B'Tselem revealed that nearly one in four Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank since October 2023 has been a minor, marking the highest proportion since 1967.

The human rights organization highlighted a pervasive lack of legal accountability surrounding these fatalities, noting that there are no known indictments linked to the killings of these minors since October 2023.

B'Tselem emphasized that these deaths were not "isolated mistakes or violations of military orders." Instead, the group stated they were the direct result of an institutional Israeli policy that permits lax rules of engagement, routinely labels Palestinians as "terrorists," and shields soldiers who use lethal force from legal repercussions.

In 2025, Israel killed 54 Palestinian children and teens in the West Bank. in B’Tselem’s latest report, we bring you the story of each and every one.

Since 7 October 2023, Israel has killed 1,086 Palestinians in the West Bank; 241 of them were children or teens, including Sam Abu Haikal, a seven-month-old baby .

The violence did not stop with the act of injuring or killing. In many cases, the forces held up medical teams trying to access the child, without offering first aid themselves. Israel is still holding 18 of the bodies, a practice it frequently employs, which amplifies the families’ suffering.

Under the Israeli regime, no Palestinian is safe, while any Israeli who harms them enjoys close to full impunity.

Scientists have created one of the most detailed 3D reconstructions of a human cell (eukaryotic cell) ever produced.

This groundbreaking model, often termed a "Cellular Landscape Cross-Section Through a Eukaryotic Cell," combines data from X-ray tomography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and cryo-electron microscopy to map molecular structures in extreme detail.

#US media rarely gives total kills by both sides. #Israel 40 to 1 is typical.

"As part of its campaign in #Lebanon, Israel has killed more than a dozen journalists, more than 300 emergency responders and hundreds of women and #children."

We are American Jews.

Israel does not act in our name.

Judaism and Zionism are not the same.

Judaism is a 4,000-year-old religion and covenant.

Zionism is a modern political ideology, barely 150 years old, that falsely claims to represent all Jews.

When a Jewish candidate defeats another Jewish candidate in a New York election, only Zionists call it antisemitism.

This tactic reveals the problem: they equate opposition to Zionism with hatred of Jews.

Zionism is not Judaism.

247 children have been killed and 992 injured in Lebanon since 2 March.

Many have fled their homes multiple times, witnessed violence first-hand, lost loved ones, and seen their sense of safety shattered.

Palestinian farmers from Khirbet Wadi a-Rakhim in the South Hebron Hills noticed, on Saturday, 7 March 2026, four Israeli settlers, armed with sticks and clubs, grazing cattle on the farmers’ private land. They called the police and went over to the settlers, filming the incident. They demanded the settlers leave and tried to drive them and their cattle away from the crops. A violent confrontation developed as the residents tried to defend their land, during which one Palestinian resident and one settler were injured.

At some point, the farmers began moving away. Meanwhile, a settler named Luria Luski arrived in military uniform, carrying a rifle, on an ATV together with his brother, Shem Tov Luski. After that, the settlers went back to attacking the residents with clubs and stones. One of them beat Muhammad Shinaran, 57, on the head and legs with a club. His son Amir, 28, started coming his way to help his father. Luria Luski fired a shot in the air and when Amir continued approaching, pointed his gun at him and shot him dead. Immediately afterward, he fired again, injuring Amir’s brother Khaled, 33. The two brothers were taken to Beita Hospital, where Amir was pronounced dead.

Only after the injured men were taken to hospital did large military and police forces arrive. The soldiers invaded residents’ homes and searched them, confining women and children in a kitchen until 9:30 P.M. They took the recording device from the home’s security camera recording and left.

Luski claimed he acted in self-defense, yet Israel never even interrogated him.

From October 2023 and to May 30, 2026, Israel killed 1,082 Palestinians in the West Bank, 35 of them killed by settlers. Under Israel’s apartheid regime, Palestinian lives continue to be treated as utterly expendable.

Israeli authorities are accelerating home demolitions and forced evictions of Palestinian residents in the Silwan district of occupied East Jerusalem, Human Rights Watch said today. The organisation said the forcible deportation or transfer of the population of an occupied territory within or outside the territory, unless justified on a temporary basis for the protection of the population itself or imperative military reasons, is a violation of international humanitarian law and amounts to a war crime.

After the “ceasefire” was declared on 10 October 2025, Israel continued to attack and bomb civilians throughout Gaza. Since then, it has killed 1,003 residents of the Strip.

Since October 2023, Israel has killed more than 73,000 people and forcibly displaced about 1.9 million from their homes, as part of the genocide in the Gaza Strip. It has destroyed the healthcare system and massively damaged water infrastructure, education systems and other essential services.

In this so-called ceasefire, Israel has continued to kill people, block the entry of humanitarian aid and use starvation as a method of warfare, while preventing reconstruction and repair of vital systems.

The killing, destruction and dispossession have not stopped for a moment: the genocide continues.
