WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL?
A Palestinian farmer tending his land in the occupied West Bank refused to leave for an armed Israeli settler.
So the settler took him hostage, blindfolded and humiliated him while IDF soldiers stood by, guarding and protecting the abuser.
The ʿAsʿus family was about to sit down for dinner when they heard gunfire from the street. Everyone rushed to take cover. Two-year-old Layla was sitting in her mother’s lap when a bullet struck her in the head. She was later pronounced dead at the hospital. The shooters were Israeli soldiers who had were carrying out a raid in a neighboring home in the village of Muthallath a-Shuhada in Jenin District, on 25 January 2025.
Layla is one of 54 children and teens killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank in 2025. Our new report, Unshielded Childhood, released this week, tells their stories and the circumstances that led to each of their deaths.
Since October 2023, Israel has killed 241 children and teenagers in the West Bank, the highest number of Palestinian minors killed there since the territory was occupied in 1967. This is the result of an Israeli policy that enables and backs the killing of Palestinians, without anyone being held to account.

The Prime Minister outlined a clear path forward for Canada’s trade relationship with China.
This agreement supports economic growth at home by expanding access to global markets, creating $7B+ in export opportunities for Canadian workers and businesses.
This is one of the most devastating videos I’ve seen recently from the West Bank.
It shows two elderly Palestinians on their own land, simply trying to harvest their olives near Bethlehem.
An Israeli settler invades their property, blocking them from reaching their trees.
Two Israeli occupation soldiers stand by, watching as the Palestinian is assaulted by the terrorist settler. When the Palestinian tries to DEFEND HIMSELF, the soldiers join in the attack, striking the Palestinian with their rifles. They even restrain him so the terrorist settler can continue the assault, before a third terrorist soldier joins them.
This scene encapsulates decades of Palestinian suffering under occupation.
Thank you @MarkJCarney@AnitaAnandMP for taking this important and historic step. Like all free people, Palestinians, whether in Gaza or in West Bank, have the right to self-determination.
The free state of Palestine deserves to take its place among the nations of the world.
“She was known as Palestine. She forevermore will be known as Palestine.”
Benedict Cumberbatch recited this poem by iconic Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish.
“When governments betray the most basic human values, it is upon us to fix it. We, the people.”
Tonight, @FranceskAlbs, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, gave this powerful speech at the Together for Palestine concert.
🇮🇱 Netanyahu tweeted about Charlie Kirk's assassination before any other leader, including Trump
Netanyahu is the leader of a country halfway across the world, he's currently bombing 7 countries & he's in the middle of a domestic political crisis
Yes, I find that very 'odd'
The killing in Gaza continues. Yesterday, August 17, the Israeli military killed 60 people, 27 of whom were waiting for humanitarian aid.
ישראל ממשיכה את ההרג בעזה. אתמול, 17.8, הצבא הישראלי הרג 60 בני אדם - מתוכם 27 בעת שחיכו לסיוע הומניטרי
Canada condemns the killing @AlJazeera journalists in #Gaza. Journalists are civilians — targeting them is unacceptable. We call for full accountability and for the protection of media everywhere. #PressFreedom#NotATarget
Since the Canadian government is under fire for lies and deception over the Minister of Foreign Affairs telling Canadians we aren't sending weapons or weapons parts to Israel to commit genocide in Gaza, when in fact, this has been happening up until last month. I have a story.
I commend Canada’s decision to recognize the State of Palestine, and I look forward to seeing meaningful progress toward lasting peace, security, and prosperity for both Palestinians and Israelis.
