"Many see as illegal" -- please, tell me, would any other country on earth be gifted headlines like this to describe something that is, in fact, simply illegal?

[Institute for Palestine Studies @PalStudies]

In the latest issue of the Journal of Palestine Studies, Smadar Ben-Natan, assistant professor of global studies at the University of Oregon, contrasts contemporary Israeli death penalty discourse with the legal rhetoric that Israeli military courts employed in death penalty cases throughout the 1970s–80s. Throughout the article, Ben-Natan illuminates the ways in which, within internal Israeli discourse, the conflation of terrorism with Nazism casts Hamas as an absolute enemy to legitimize the death penalty while serving as a means of genocide denial.

Israel stating one should never believe data coming from parties to a conflict. "...without disclosure that those bodies are fully controlled by Hamas, a party to the conflict."

[Israel Foreign Ministry @IsraelMFA]

For over two years, the UN laundered Hamas propaganda, manufactured fake aid statistics, and called it "authoritative data."

Today, the curtain comes down.

The systematic information manipulation machine operating under the UN is now exposed. See the evidence for yourself: 👇

This is police. More specifically the man, Nikita Sokolov, is part of an armed "municipal policing unit" who works in pairs with Israel police - represented by the female police officer.

June 7th, 1982. Prime Minister Begin and Defense Minister Sharon celebrate on the Beaufort Castle a few hours after it was taken by Israeli troops, starting a bloody 18-year quagmire than finally ended with Israel's departure from Lebanon in 2000. 44 years later, the same idiocy in the same place. The only difference will be the names of the dead. Maybe try something new? Just maybe?

💥In the absence of any official inquest, investigative books are starting to appear. One of them reveals that for hours in the morning of October 7, the PM and the IDF Chief of Staff didn't even speak. "At 10:30, 4 hours after Hamas launched its attack," writes Gol Dickmann, "they broke into my family's home in Be'eri. They kidnapped 5 family members, including a 68-year-old grandmother and a 3 1/2 year-old granddaughter. For those 4 hours
between the massacre's launch and the break-in 𝐍𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐚𝐡𝐮 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐟𝐟. We were abandoned. Is it any wonder they don't want a state commission of inquiry?"

חינוך לגזענות, לאלימות ולעליונות יהודית - זה לא חינוך.
כפי שהצדקת אלימות למטרות משיחיות - זה לא יהדות.

I'm back. It's been a while. Was about to state I couldn't say I was up to date. But it seems nothing has changed. I still want this merch, though. Anyone know where I can get some?

Israeli policemen expelled an Israeli couple from the Old City of Jerusalem because the woman wore a hat FCK BNGVR, referring to the Israeli Minister of Interior Security, Itamar Ben Gvir, who was convicted by Israeli courts on multiple terrorism charges in the past for belonging to a Jewish terrorist group targeting Palestinians.

A settler attacked a mother, her child, and their dog in their home in Masafer Yatta in a horrifying scene during the first days of Eid.
Settler violence is not isolated — it is enabled by government support and international complicity

This will continue for as long as the Israel politicians and generals enabling it will not face consequences.

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

🚨 BREAKING: Al Jazeera Mubasher correspondent Mohammed Samir Washah has been killed in Gaza following an Israeli drone strike on his car at Al-Nabulsi roundabout, west of Gaza City. Footage shared from the scene by Drop Site contributor Mohammed Ahmed shows the vehicle engulfed in flames, indicating a direct hit.

Gaza’s Government Media Office condemned the killing, stating that the number of Palestinian journalists killed by Israel has risen to 262 since the start of the genocide in Gaza. The Office called on the international community to “condemn the crimes of the occupation, deter it, and pursue it in international courts for its ongoing crimes.”

One month of relentless settler violence under the cover of war

In the first 30 days of the US-Israeli led war (Feb 28–Mar 29), 305 incidents of settler violence were documented across the West Bank, more than ten incidents per day.
These incidents include assaults, raids into villages, property damage and arson, harassment and threats, roadblocks, land takeovers, and the establishment of new outposts on Palestinian land.
The incidents were documented in 139 Palestinian villages, towns, and communities, as well as at junctions and along roads.
At least 215 Palestinians were injured in these incidents, to varying degrees. Ten were killed, seven of them shot and killed by settlers.
*The data is based on cross-checking public reports and publications from various sources.

While people in Israel mark Passover as the tell of Freedom in shelters, settler violence in the West Bank continues to run rampant.
No one can be free while occupying another people.
There can be no celebration of freedom while millions are denied their liberty.

[United Nations @UN]

There is no military objective that justifies the wholesale destruction of a society's infrastructure or the deliberate infliction of suffering on civilian populations.

Conflicts end when leaders choose dialogue over destruction, @antonioguterres says.

Norway is becoming more and more stuck in hate rhetoric that could be taken straight out of Ben Gvir and Smotrich playbook, if it wasn't for the fact that it's against Israelis - and increasingly Jews.
