[Agnes Callamard @AgnesCallamard]

Israeli authorities have deliberately accelerated formal annexation of the occupied West Bank through a state-driven ethnic cleansing campaign targeting Palestinian Bedouin and herding communities in Area C of the West Bank, while committing the crime against humanity of forcible transfer.

Our new report is out now. It shows that:

➡️Palestinians Bedouins and herding communities have been erased from their ancestral land, cut off from their pastures, and terrorized into fleeing their homes amid this

➡️What is happening is not an historical or political aberration

➡️The ethnic cleansing campaign is NOT new. It is rooted in Israel’s longstanding system of apartheid, a crime against humanity perpetrated by Israel against all Palestinians under its control for years. Decades.

➡️The campaign is NOT driven by some rogue settlers.
The international community is guilty of mischaracterizing the annexation as “settlers’ violence” driven by some bad apples or “extremist” ministers.

➡️Ethnic cleansing in the West Bank is state-sanctioned, state-implemented and state-enforced.

➡️What the the 37th Israel government – a coalition between the Likud, the Jewish Power and Religious Zionism parties - has done is to accelerate a campaign of ethnic cleansing and longstanding oppressive practices, making them more aggressive, and more destructive.

➡️Israel’s turbo-charged campaign of ethnic cleansing must be met with an equal surge of measures by states around the world.

➡️We are calling on states to ban all trade, investment relations and activities that contribute to, or are directly linked to Israel’s unlawful occupation, system of apartheid and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
➡️This must include banning the provision of funds or any other assistance to organizations that are integral to the settlement enterprise and apartheid system.
➡️The EU in particular must leverage its influence by expediting the long overdue suspension of its association agreement with Israel and suspending visa-free access to all Israeli settlers living in the OPT.
➡️We are also calling on states to impose unilateral, targeted sanctions, against senior Israeli officials directly implicated in Israel’s ethnic cleansing campaign, including Benjamin Netanyahu, Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel Katz, Bezalel Smotrich, and Orit Strock.

Is India’s economic boom hiding a brutal jobs crisis?

In this explosive trailer, economist and public policy expert Santosh Mehrotra breaks down what his book - India Out of Work reveals about:
• Why GDP numbers are not accurate and jobs aren’t rising
• How 80+ million workers moved back into agriculture
• Why 121 million young Indians are NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training)
• ⁠ And the one thing that can will likely get out of this situation

Stay tuned for the full interview.

"I was trolled endlessly by people online, some even called me anti-national" —This is the trouble when the country, in a deranged trance, shows allegiance to a person and a political party, forgetting that the actual country is beyond and far bigger than that individual and party.
