But don’t call it genocide. It’s just ethnic cleansing, amirite?

Not even apartheid South Africa codified executions for only one ‘race group’. Israel is now the most racist state the world has ever known.

Shame on every government, every company, every individual who offer it support.

After the right to torture Palestinians, Apartheid Israel claims the right to HANG Palestinians. The shame of the century continues.

Under the cover of war, the cooperation between the military and Israeli settler militias is deepening the ethnic cleansing of the West Bank. This is what has been happening on the ground since the start of the Israeli-American offensive in Iran:

Roadblocks and movement restrictions
As soon as the IsraeliAmerican offensive against Iran began, Israel imposed sweeping movement restrictions on Palestinians in the West Bank. Most towns and villages were fully or partially sealed off to both inbound and outbound traffic, and travel between different parts of the West Bank has also been blocked.
Attacks by Israeli settler militias
Taking advantage of the war, armed settler militias, often operating with support from the army, continue to attack and harass Palestinian communities across the West Bank in an effort to force them out. The attacks include:

Raids on Palestinian shepherding communities and villages, home searches, livestock theft, vandalism, and assaults using clubs and stones on residents defending their homes and livestock, causing severe injuries.

Live fire and fatalities: In some raids, armed settlers fire at Palestinian residents. On Monday, 2 March, a settler shot and killed two brothers in the village of Qaryut; other shootings across the West Bank left additionalPalestinians injured.
Land takeovers and economic damage: Settlers deliberately graze livestock in Palestinians’ cultivated fields, destroy crops and stored food, steal livestock, and vandalize solar panels and water tanks. Settlers have also used bulldozers to raze and take over privately owned Palestinian land.

Army raids and home takeovers:
The Israeli military has launched raids and mass arrests in villages throughout the West Bank. Soldiers have taken over at least 55 homes inside Palestinian communities (as of Thursday evening), where they remain for extended periods without clear military necessity. In several cases, soldiers forced families out of their homes, leaving them without shelter during war, while the soldiers themselves are protected inside the homes they invaded.
Military takeover of Palestinian family homes is a practice Israel employed during its previous war on Iran in June 2025. It is a grave violation of the basic rights of Palestinian residents, first and foremost, the right to life.

Fuel and gas shortage
As the fuel shortage across the West Bank worsens, gas and fueling stations have seen long lines and rationing has been introduced.

Missiles and lack of protection
Missile fragments have fallen in several areas in the West Bank in the districts of Hebron, Bethlehem, Ramallah, Jenin, Nablus, and east of Jerusalem. The nearly three million Palestinians living in the West Bank have no access to shelters or warning systems, in stark contrast to the hundreds of Israeli settlements that have both.

BREAKING:

Spain’s MEP Irene Montero:

“Because no one stopped the genocide in Gaza, the United States and Israel are now targeting Venezuela and Iran.”

“We must isolate the U.S. and Israel now, so they can no longer spread terror across the globe.”

Netanyahu wanted billions to flatten Gaza. He got it.

Netanyahu wanted war with Iran. Trump just gave it to him.

American foreign and military policy must be determined by the American people.

Not the right-wing extremist Netanyahu government.

“Settler violence” is state violence, they work together to terrorize Palestinians and occupy their land.
