๐จ Israeli forces shot and killed 7 month old baby Sam Abu Haikal in the occupied West Bank today, striking him in the head with a live bullet. His mother was also wounded in the same attack.
Last night in Hraibat al-Nabi: around five settlers broke into the sheep pen of an elderly couple and stole their entire flock, a total of 29 sheep and goats. Over the past two years, the village has seen numerous incidents of livestock theft
ยฟQuรฉ estรก pasando en Cisjordania?
Aprovechando la guerra, las milicias de colonos armados, que a menudo operan con el apoyo del ejรฉrcito, continรบan atacando y hostigando a las comunidades palestinas en toda Cisjordania para expulsarlas. Los ataques incluyen:
Allanamientos en comunidades y aldeas de pastores palestinos, registros de viviendas, robo de ganado, vandalismo y ataques con palos y piedras a residentes que defendรญan sus casas y ganado, causรกndoles heridas graves.
Fuego real y vรญctimas mortales: En algunas incursiones, colonos armados disparan contra residentes palestinos. El lunes 2 de marzo, un colono disparรณ y matรณ a dos hermanos en la aldea de Qaryut; otros tiroteos en Cisjordania dejaron mรกs palestinos heridos.
Toma de tierras y daรฑos econรณmicos: Los colonos hacen pastar deliberadamente al ganado en los campos de cultivo palestinos, destruyen cultivos y alimentos almacenados, roban ganado y vandalizan paneles solares y tanques de agua. Tambiรฉn han utilizado excavadoras para arrasar y apoderarse de tierras palestinas de propiedad privada.
ยฟQuรฉ estรก pasando en Cisjordania?
Tan pronto como comenzรณ la ofensiva israelรญ-estadounidense contra Irรกn, Israel impuso amplias restricciones de movimiento a los palestinos en Cisjordania. La mayorรญa de las ciudades y pueblos fueron total o parcialmente cerrados al trรกfico de entrada y salida, y tambiรฉn se ha bloqueado el trรกnsito entre diferentes partes de Cisjordania.
The list also includes 68,844 names. 17 children who died on the day they were born and 1,054 infants who died before they reached one year old. In total, the list includes 20,876 women and 3,220 adults over the age of 65. >>
And the Israeli public needs to know the facts.
In line 34, for example, you can find Asr Abu Al-Kumsan, who died at the age of 3 days, his twin sister is below him, in line 35. Their mother is number 36,671 and their grandmother is 50,002. They all died in one bombing. >>

Members of the Israeli government appeared at the Knesset today proudly wearing pins shaped like a hangmanโs noose. This is the symbol they chose to promote a racist law imposing the death penalty exclusively on Palestinians.
The hangmanโs noose is one of the most vile symbols of hatred against African Americans, historically embraced by white supremacists and the KKK, and it evokes emotions as visceral as the swastika does for Jews.
This is the true face of the Israeli government: racist, fascist, supremacist.
A regime that wears its hatred proudly and unapologetically.
โYinon is a murderer who killed a very beloved person.โ
Israeli settler Yinon Levi was back disrupting the occupied West Bank village of Umm al-Kheir within hours of killing Palestinian activist and father Awdah Hathaleen.
Awdahโs best friend Tariq witnessed it firsthand.
๐จThe fishermen of Gaza finally got a chance to sail while the Israeli navy was too busy blocking the Sumud Flotilla.
Amid the famine imposed since the start of the war, this moment brought the first glimpses of joy to the residents.
150 activists, many of them Jewish-Israelis, breached the Gaza border fence in a protest against the siege.
The group converged on the fence, with some activists successfully crossing into Gaza before being arrested. They carried banners demanding international sanctions on Israel and an end to the siege.
Police declared the area a closed military zone and have detained at least six activists. Participants stated they were there to refuse complicity in the genocide that Israel is committing in Gaza.
Today: anti-Zi0nist Israeli and international activists blocked the entrance of soldiers and military vehicles into Gaza in protest of the ongoing genocide and siege. The activists called for sanctions on Israel and in support of the Sumud Flotilla. Several activists were arrested.
I write as former Head of Maritime Section of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office
and Alternate Head of UK Delegation to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea Prepcom.
1) The flotilla is on the High Seas and not in Israel's 12 mile territorial sea. Israel has no jurisdiction.
2) The Israeli maritime blockade has been in place for 17 years and is an intrinsic part of the long term occupation found illegal in the ICJ advisory opinion
3) It is therefore not a short term measure in time of armed conflict as specified in the San Remo manual
4) In any event the San Remo rules explicitly state that humanitarian supplies may not be blockaded
5) The UN Commission of Inquiry has already determined that Israel is committing genocide. The blockade is plainly a part of the machinery of such genocide.
For reasons 1 to 5 the Israeli attack on the flotilla is plainly illegal.
6) On the High Seas, the law applying on each ship is the law of its flag state. An attack by a state military warship on a vessel on the High Seas is an attack on the flag state of the vessel attacked.
7) Acts of illegal possession of vessels or abduction of crew on the High Seas should be pursued by each flag state as crimes within their domestic jurisdiction, not only in international law.
8) So the Metropolitan Police and DPP have an obligation to investigate and act over the abduction of persons from UK flagged vessels on the High Seas.
This applies to each flag state mutatis mutandi.
I hope you find this helpful.
A Reuters investigation found that visual evidence of Israelโs strike on Nasser hospital that killed 22 people including 5 journalists in #Gaza last month contradicts Israelโs official account.
