“If those Palestinians hadn’t come and started throwing rocks, I probably would not have survived,” veteran Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine told Jasper Nathaniel after she was brutally beaten by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, according to Nathaniel.
Speaking to Ben Rhodes on Pod Save the World, Nathaniel recounted the details of the October 16 attack on Palestinian olive harvesters, how Palestinian villagers risked their lives to rescue Levine, and how Israeli soldiers subsequently shot a Palestinian man and blocked paramedics.
“Do Palestinians have a right to defend themselves through armed struggle, if that’s what it takes?” Nathaniel asked.
“And if not, do you suggest they lay down and die and let their village get overrun and let Heidi Levine get killed and accept the fate that the settlers have in mind for them, which they will openly tell you is to wipe them off the map?”

Israeli occupation soldiers attempt to prevent Palestinian journalists from documenting the large-scale assault on the occupied West Bank and Hebron city, during which Israel plans to carry out mass arrests, demolish homes and forcibly displace residents.
A mother should bury her fears, not her child.
Yet Gaza's mothers have been forced to cradle lifeless children while the world watches.
What have we become?
#Gaza
THE GENOCIDE OF THE WEST BANK HAS BEGUN. BIBI THINKS THIS WILL HELP HIM MUSTER UP ENOUGH VOTES IN THE KNESSET TO OBTAIN A COALITION TO RETAIN POWER AND NOT DIE IN PRISON.
HE WILL DIE STANDING UP.
This is not Gaza. This is Hebron today.
The Israeli occupation has begun destroying Palestine’s economic capital, a city that accounts for 75% of the country’s production in the stone and marble, leather and footwear, plastics, glass, oils, dairy, and gold industries.
Ethnic cleansing is being inflicted on the Palestinian people everywhere across the land of Palestine.
A poignant scene of a young child walking with his family through the streets of Hebron under the cover of night, forced into displacement amid ongoing occupation forces’ incursions and home raids in the darkness.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is deepening once again, amid bakery closures, shortages of essential goods in markets, and the continued blocking of humanitarian aid from entering the Strip.

Bad look for @RealCandaceO and at least indirectly for @baroncoleman
You guys probably should have recused yourselves from commenting on the @leahfiles & @ShawnRyan762 situation, or at the very least, a disclosure of financial interest.
Both of your brands are built on credibility, and this gives ammo to your critics, and I’m going to join them in criticizing you both on this.
I don’t think that is an impeachable offense, but I call balls and strikes… I’m not on a team. I’m still cheering for you both, but please address this transparently.
🚨BREAKING: Israelis Block International Aid Trucks From Entering The Gaza Strip‼️
⛔️Israel has already blocked off the Egyptian border & food supplies are dwindling, now the Israelis themselves are blocking aid supplied by international organisations going through the only open crossing.‼️
This is why Israel has banned the Red Cross from visiting Palestinian prisoners.
This a violation of international law…under Articles 76 and 143 of the Fourth Geneva Convention.
ISRAEL PUTS 2 FINGERS UP TO ALL INTERNATIONAL LAW
