Hundreds of Israeli settlers have stormed a Palestinian village in the West Bank after Benjamin Netanyahu vowed a “forceful” response after a confrontation in the West Bank left four Palestinians and two Israelis dead.
The violence comes amid continued attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank, where Israeli settlements are widely regarded as illegal under international law.
Netanyahu also said his government “would establish new settler outposts in the occupied West Bank and legalize more existing ones.”

I searched a Gaza war crimes archive for my family.
I quickly realized I wasn’t using it the way most people would. I wasn’t browsing it as an activist, researcher or journalist.
I was looking for my family.
My heart sank as I filtered the archive by the dates we lost them and searched for someone I loved.
I found footage I hadn’t seen before of the bombing of the Church of St. Porphyrius, where my cousin Soliman was killed.
I searched for the day my great aunt Elham was murdered, and the day Nahida and Samar Anton were killed by Israeli snipers at the Holy Family Catholic Church.
Eyewitnesses told us Elham was crushed by an Israeli tank. I have graphic photographs of her body that were sent to me by church workers in Gaza, but I found no footage of what happened.
It made me wonder how many people died without leaving behind any visual record.
The realization stayed with me.
Here was a digital graveyard where pieces of my own family history are preserved for journalists, historians, truth seekers and, undoubtedly, those seeking to exploit or consume human suffering.
I know I won’t be the only person to experience this. Other Palestinians searching for loved ones almost certainly will too. But it struck me that this is a form of grief that could scarcely have existed before our time.
It’s a form of grief I never imagined could exist.
I hate this post so much because it devalues the corruption that was so obviously at play
England didn't get robbed. Switzerland, it is arguable, but Argentina deserved that win too
However, the other three, especially Egypt, they were ROBBED in every sense of the word
Man FUCK this
We the CONSUMERS paid those tariffs because companies passed that expense on to us
Now corporations get the refunds too??
I’m so fucking TIRED
