"Israeli cabinet just declared to remove the Palestinian Authority from any governance power in east Bethlehem and southeast Jerusalem.
[...]
Israel is preparing to bring what it did in Gaza to the West Bank, except rather than the military murdering us it is likely the deranged settlers that were strategically armed with new weapons in the last six months." https://x.com/MariamBarghouti/status/1808208366570729616
"Israel has approved the largest seizure of land in the occupied West Bank in more than three decades, according to a report released by an Israeli anti-settlement watchdog, a move that will exacerbate the escalating tensions surrounding the conflict in Gaza.
"Peace Now said authorities recently approved the appropriation of 12.7 sq km (nearly 5 sq miles) of land in the Jordan valley, indicating it was 'the largest single appropriation approved since the 1993 Oslo accords', referring to the start of the peace process.
"The recent land seizure, which was approved late last month but only publicised on Wednesday, comes after the seizure of 8 sq km of land in the West Bank in March and 2.6 sq km in February."
Apple has silenced employees who have spoken out for Palestine and shown bias toward Israel through statements and actions. In the process it has lost all credibility as a company that claims to believe in racial equity or social justice.

All credibility is stretching it a bit. "All credibility in the eyes of those who actively consider Palestinians human beings" seems more appropriate because there are plenty of those who don't. @palestine@israel
On the night of March 2 Israel wiped out four generations of my family. I barely survived the slaughter. It is now my responsibility to tell their story.
“The body of a baby that didn't pull through lies in a hospital incubator, awaiting burial. She was born two months premature because her mother was so exhausted.
Too soon for her parents to even name her. Her tiny body is now wrapped in a green shroud.
Another struggles for each breath, the bones of her exposed rib cage heave up and down with the little strength she has to keep living. Their nappies dwarf their skeletal bodies.”
"... there are reasonable grounds to believe that Israel is committing the international ‘crime of all crimes’: that of genocide."
"... while our government has called for a ceasefire, they refuse to name Israel’s crimes or take the material action many have called for under international law, including implementing sanctions and throwing our weight behind a global arms embargo. As Palestinian human rights lawyer Rabea Eghbariah asked in a 2023 essay commissioned but then censured by Harvard Law Review, “does one have to wait for a genocide to be successfully completed to name it?” "
Armed Israeli settlers [who are living in the West Bank against Israeli law and international law] are destroying the pump that brings water to the Palestinian village of Umm Al-Khair south of Hebron. Temperatures will reach 101° tomorrow.

Ces ordures sont le mal incarné. Ils sont juifs. Mais les dénoncer pour ce qu'ils font relève de l'antisémitisme ....
