🇵🇸 Israel Wiping Out Christianity

Israel Is Annexing Christian Palestinians In The West Bank.

Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich announced the construction of a new settlement in Jabal al-Makhrur, near Bethlehem. Settlers and the army have started expelling residents and declared the area a closed military zone. Despite attacks, many residents are holding a sit-in and refuse to leave.

This is one of the last Christian Palestinian villages.

🇵🇸 “We are now going to enter a long period of concentrated effort in enforcement and #demolitions. We are going to return the situation to the way it was.”

Israel's far-right Finance Minister, Bezalel Smotrich, has launched a campaign to demolish structures and expel Palestinians from ‘Area B’ of the West Bank.

Smotrich, who heads a pro-settler party and is himself a settler, accused the Palestinian Authority of investing significant resources to create territorial contiguity in the region, which he claims threatens Israeli control and causes environmental damage.

Under the 1993 #OsloAccords, it was agreed that the area Smotrich is referring to would be controlled by the Palestinian Authority (#PA).

🇵🇸 Reminder : Who Profits - The Israeli Occupation Industry

Since its 1967 #occupation of Palestinian and Syrian land, Israel has developed an intricate system of #oppression, combining military force, technology, #infrastructure, and regulations to exert control over Palestinian and Syrian populations and further entrench its control over #land and #resources. Populations living under Israel’s military rule are denied basic civil liberties and are subject to arbitrary repressive violence by the Israeli military, police force, and private security personnel.

In the occupied #WestBank, around 3 million Palestinians live within a complex mosaic of administrative areas carved out through the 1993 #OsloAccords. Under the Accords the West Bank was divided into three administrative areas (A, B, and C). #AreaA comprises approximately 18% of the West Bank and is nominally under full Palestinian control. Area B, comprising approximately 22% of the West Bank, is under the full administrative control of the Palestinian Authority(#PA) but under the military control of Israel. #AreaC, which comprises 61% of the West Bank, is under the full control of Israel through the Civil (Military) Administration in the West Bank. 

These areas are separated and surrounded by a system of #roadblocks, #fences, #walls, #barriers, and #checkpoints, as well as Israeli #settlements and roads designated for the exclusive use of Israelis. The movement of Palestinians between the separate areas is controlled by an elaborate #permit regime. Further, Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza require special permits to enter into areas annexed to Jerusalem, and #Jerusalem itself. Permits are allocated by the Israeli authorities according to secret security and economic considerations. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians are blacklisted and cannot pass through any of the checkpoints, not even to #travel inside their own enclave to the next town or the surrounding area.

In #Gaza, around two million people have been living under an Israeli-imposed land, air, and sea siege since 2007. The movement of people, goods, and services in or out of Gaza is almost completely blocked, and ongoing military attacks cause mounting casualties and infrastructure #destruction.

#Population control and arbitrary movement #restrictions separate families, severely limit access to #HealthCare, #education, and employment, and hinder economic development. Israel also utilizes its force and technologies to surveil and intimidate populations, as well as to quell any form of political activity and resistance, including the routine use of lethal crowd control weapons and live fire on civilian demonstrators.

Collective punishments in the form of military assaults, house #demolitions, curfews, closures, and mass arrests are common. Presently, there are approximately 5,000 Palestinian political prisoners in Israeli incarceration centers. About 1,000 are being held under administrative detention, i.e., without having been charged, tried, or sentenced.

Who Profits has identified three sub-categories of corporate involvement in Israel’s Population Control. Private Security and #Surveillance Technology refers to corporate involvement in Israel’s growing Private Security and Surveillance #Technology Industries. The Wall and Checkpoints refers to Israel’s intricate mechanisms of control, physical segregation, and restrictions on the movement of Palestinians in the #oPt. Specialized Equipment and Services, refers to corporate involvement in the provision of services and equipment to the
Israeli military and security apparatus.

🇵🇸 Our film is going to the Oscars. But in Masafer Yatta, we’re still being erased | 972mag

As the world watches ‘No Other Land,’ Israeli settlers are raiding and burning our villages while soldiers arrest us, abuse us, and demolish our homes

Despite the exciting success of the #film in #festivals and among journalists and audiences around the world, however, the situation here on the ground is deteriorating rapidly and the future looks bleak.

Over the past 16 months, Israeli settlers and the military have taken advantage of the atmosphere of the war to reshape reality in #MasaferYatta in favor of #settlers and their outposts, intensifying their efforts to displace us from our land. Even as I write this, the Israeli army is conducting a major demolition operation in the community of Khalet A-Daba, razing homes, toilets, solar panels, and trees.

🇵🇸 Louis Theroux: The Settlers

"Still, Theroux’s achievement is profound. His film enables a much wider understanding that Israel’s barbaric settler-colonial project is incompatible with the much-vaunted proposition that Israel shares western values and is the “only democracy in the Middle East”. 

This ought to have political consequences. Why hasn’t #Britain sanctioned settler leaders #ItamarBenGvir, #Smotrich and many others? How on earth does Prime Minister Keir Starmer get away with claiming that Israel is not an apartheid state? Why does his government refuse to recognise a Palestinian state? "

🇵🇸 Israel to take full control of land registry in West Bank's Area C, cementing annexation | MEE

Israel’s cabinet has for the first time voted to take sole responsibility for land registration in #AreaC of the occupied West Bank, a decision that has been described as effective Israeli annexation of the majority of Palestinian land.

Under the 1995 #OsloAgreement, the West Bank was divided into three areas, with the Palestinian Authority (#PA) exerting limited control of areas A and B, while Israel took full control of Area C. The latter area forms 60 percent of total land in the territory.

On Sunday, the Israeli cabinet agreed that in Area C, Israel would now make all decisions about land, and any Palestinian efforts to recognise land using its own land registry would be legally void.

🇵🇸Home Demolitions: How Israel Is Redrawing the Map of the West Bank

Thaer Shouli never imagined that reaching his home would one day become a dangerous journey, or that the life he had built would survive only in memory.

Until two years ago, Thaer lived in Khirbet Tana, east of Nablus, alongside around 40 other families. Then illegal Israeli #settlers, backed by the #occupation army, launched a relentless campaign to drive them from their land.

Homes were demolished nearly 13 times. Families rebuilt them, only to watch them destroyed again. Even the centuries-old caves that had sheltered generations of Palestinians were eventually bulldozed.

For Palestinians, these #demolitions are not simply acts of #CollectivePunishment or intimidation. They are part of a broader strategy to reshape the geography of the occupied #WestBank by emptying strategically located Palestinian communities and making way for the expansion of illegal Jewish settlements.

🇵🇸Settler terror is Israeli state policy, with Zena Al Tahhan | Electronic Intifada

Israel is moving ahead with plans to build more than 1,200 settler housing units in the E1 area, east of occupied Jerusalem, threatening around 5,000 Palestinians in Bedouin and herding communities with #EthnicCleansing.

The new colony would isolate the northern and southern parts of the occupied West Bank from each other.

We speak with Zena Al Tahhan, a freelance journalist based in the occupied West Bank, about Israel’s plans, the #demolitions and #displacement facing Palestinian communities and escalating state-backed settler violence and terror. We also discuss Western governments’ narrowly targeted measures against settlements while they maintain support for Israel, and the stories missing from mainstream coverage of the West Bank.

🇵🇸The last Christian village in the West Bank is under threat from Israeli settlers | MEE

#Taybeh, the last fully Christian village in the occupied West Bank, is facing an escalating campaign of violence and intimidation by surrounding Israeli settlers.

Surrounded by illegal settlements, outposts, and military gates, residents say their lands and historic religious sites are routinely targeted by arson attacks, vandalism, and armed harassment aimed at forcing them to leave the area.

Speaking to Middle East Eye's Jerusalem bureau chief Lubna Masarwa, Father Bashar Fawadleh, the Latin parish priest of Taybeh, detailed what daily life looks like under constant encirclement and how the community is fighting to survive on its ancestral land.
