Israeli settlers’ attacks on Palestinians took place across the region on Tuesday, including in Burin, south of Nablus, and Yasouf, northeast of Salfit, where they destroyed crops and demolished a well.
In Burqa, east of Ramallah, they set olive trees on fire.
On average, there are four such attacks witnessed daily.
The UN has documented 962 settler attacks since October 7, which have led to the destruction of 43,000 Palestinian-owned trees and saplings.
@LALegault : IMO, even suggesting that "Israel society" advocates ethnic cleansing and genocide, is DISCRIMINATION - because it is not true (see below).
If we discriminate, how are we not as insane as those individual Israeli's who state that every Palestinian is a terrorist?

WP whitewash Netanyahu again: #Netanyahu dissolves war cabinet but plans to keep far right sidelined
🔶️ #BenGvir and #Smotrich’s continued influence, even from outside the war cabinet, was partly the reason for the resignation of war cabinet members Benny #Gantz and Gadi #Eisenkot last week. The two centrists said they joined the cabinet to ensure the war was conducted responsibly, but have since concluded they couldn’t work with Netanyahu as long as he refused to commit to a day-after strategy for Gaza.
🔶️ The departure came after a string of military leaders made rare public statements airing their grievances with Netanyahu’s handling of the war in Gaza, with many saying that Israel cannot afford to continue it indefinitely, especially with tensions escalating on the Lebanese border.
🔶️ Brig. Gen. Efraim Sneh, a former deputy minister of defense, said that Israel has achieved its military objectives of degrading the majority of Hamas capabilities and can afford to declare an end to the war in Gaza, get back the hostages, and redirect its focus to distancing #Hezbollah forces from its northern border.
🔶️ “Israel is in an unacceptable situation, in which a big part of the country has been deserted,” he said. He added that, while “Israel’s forces are stretched thin between Gaza and the Lebanese border,” Netanyahu’s far-right coalition partners are exacerbating the situation by blocking hundreds of thousands of Palestinian day laborers from entering Israel and enacting punitive measures against the #WestBank-based Palestinian Authority.
🔶️ The #IDF is moving closer to a larger war with Hezbollah, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, a spokesman for the Israeli military, said in a video message Sunday. Fighting between Israel and Hezbollah has intensified in recent weeks at the Lebanese border. “Hezbollah’s increasing aggression is bringing us to the brink of what could be a wider escalation — one that could have devastating consequences for Lebanon and the entire region,” Hagari said. After an Israeli strike killed a Hezbollah commander last week, a Hezbollah official said the militant group would retaliate with increased operations “in intensity, strength, quantity and quality.”
The reaction and the answer by this palestinian kid explain the reality of loving under apartheid.
I'm sure many Israeli friends have a reasonable explanation about this, possibly because the boy is Khamas.

Agricultural lands planted with olives and almonds have been burned following an attack by illegal Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, according to the Palestinian news agency, Wafa.
Between October 7 and May 28, #WHO said it had documented 480 attacks on healthcare in the West Bank, including on medical facilities, mobile clinics, ambulances, and the detention of health workers and patients.
Those attacks left 16 people dead and 95 injured, WHO said.
Since Israel’s war on Gaza started on October 7, 521 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank, including 126 children. The injured number more than 5,200, including 800 children, WHO added.
“Everything about Israel is fake. It’s a completely synthetic nation created without any regard for the organic sociopolitical movements of the land and its people, slapped rootless atop an ancient pre-existing civilization with deep roots. That’s why it cannot exist without being artificially propped up by nonstop propaganda, lobbying, online influence operations, and mass military violence.”
At least seven people have been killed and a nurse working for Doctors Without Borders and her nine-year-old daughter have been seriously wounded after Israeli forces hit their apartment building on Thursday night in northern Gaza, MSF UK says.
Palestinians in #westbank get robbed multiple times in multiple ways. The US pretends to "scold" Isreali politicians but grants them total impunity. @palestine
♲ @faab64@diasp.org:> ### Laila El-Haddad : He was a master storyteller, and a master baby whisperer, having rocked my 7 month old to sleep in the middle of shooting our episode of #PartsUnknownCNN in #Gaza. I wasn’t sure what to expect of him, but upon first setting foot in Gaza where we met, the first thing he said to me was that he was absolutely dumbfounded at what he’d witnessed in the #WestBank and #Jerusalem.
"That is something seriously (expletive) up. And one has to see it to believe it. I told the Israelis -you are not gonna like the cake you’re baking-it’s only a matter of time before it implodes.”
He also later confided to me that the episode almost didn’t air “We fought like hell, though, to tell the stories we did--best we could tell them and I'm, on balance pretty happy-though definite reservations.
In any event, all the right people are infuriated.” Th "Peabody Awards" describes him best when they said “He (was) irreverent, honest, curious, never condescending, never obsequious.” RIP #Bourdain
