Going Home: A Walk Through Fifty Years of Occupation by Raja Shehadeh, 2020
In Going Home , Raja Shehadeh, the Orwell Prize–winning author of Palestinian Walks , takes us on a series of journeys around his hometown of #Ramallah. Set in a single day—the day that happens to be the fiftieth anniversary of Israel's occupation of the West Bank—the book is a powerful and moving record and chronicle of the changing face of his city.
An ABC journalist reports on Israeli settler mobs establishing checkpoints to hinder humanitarian aid trucks destined for starving Palestinians in Gaza. In some instances, these mobs have attacked trucks, assaulted drivers, and destroyed aid and medicine intended for Gaza's needy.
Previous reports have revealed that such attacks are endorsed by Israeli government ministers and leaders, which may explain the absence of Israeli army and police intervention in these areas where attacks occur.
The Israeli far-right government has circumvented Israeli laws to facilitate the closure and ban of any journalistic institution that exposes the atrocities committed by the Israeli occupation army in Gaza. Extremist ministers are also pushing for the expansion of this law to include the occupied West Bank.
Do not expect anything other than possibly some empty words from the "world leaders" against these outrageous fascist rules in the "only democracy in the middle east".
"Israeli forces have killed six Palestinians during a raid in the village of Kafr Dan near Jenin in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian Ministry of Health has said, as Israel intensifies its attacks on the territory amid the war on Gaza.
"According to Palestinian health authorities, Israel has killed 544 Palestinians, including 133 children, in the West Bank since October 2023 when the violence in Gaza broke out. Israel has also detained thousands of Palestinians during that period."
"...the combination of settlers’ anti-establishment sentiment, messianic ideology, and strengthened military capabilities would make any future evacuation of settlements as part of a peace solution even more difficult.”
"An increasingly powerful and well-armed settler movement will, in all likelihood, resist the government, and even the prospect of a civil war cannot be ruled out.”

A reportage about West Bank by Hanno Hauenstein, in #German (a rarity!).
Title: In the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian population is suffering from brutal settler attacks, more than ever since October 7
Palestinian sources: Assassination of the leader of the Al-Qassam Brigades - Mujahid Muhammad Jaber Abdo, a liberated Qassam prisoner who spent 20 years in enemy prisons. He was assassinated a short while ago in Kafr Ni’ma - Ramallah, along with 3 other mujahideen, and their bodies were seized by the enemy.
"On 22 May, following the International Court of Justice decisions against Israel and the recognition of Palestine by 3 European countries, far-right Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich took “harsh punitive measures” against the Palestinian Authority. Among these was blocking the transfer of tax revenues collected by Israel on the PA’s behalf, which may lead to the collapse of the authority"
On how Israel's strangling the West Bank.
“Palestinian women, and the organizations they lead, are also at the heart of the current humanitarian response."
With 35% of their offices destroyed and 89% damaged, women-led organisations remain essential in providing life-saving services in #Gaza and the #WestBank.
This is pure terror, it nothing to do with Hamas or Gaza, these are Israeli brown shirts spreading terror by protection and support of IDF and #JewishKKK minister #BenGvir
Settlers continue to destroy Palestinian property, burning cars in Barqa, east of #Ramallah, after burning the land. Settlers are also attacking vehicles in Beitin, north of Ramallah.
Maybe ideas of humanity or even the conclusion that Israeli Nazis are no better than German Nazis would be established and that it is no fun to be a victim of Apartheid.
