🇵🇸Palestinian elites have been collaborating against the resistance for a century | Middle East Eye

The Palestinian Authority's war(#PA) on the resistance is the continuation of a #collaboration with colonialism that Palestinian elites have practised for more than a century

Amid the ongoing Israeli genocide in #Gaza and its terror in the #WestBank and #Lebanon, the Palestinian and Lebanese resistance must confront not only their Israeli enemy, but also their own elites who are collaborating with that enemy

The historical reaction to colonial conquest and imperial control across much of the world has been threefold.

First, radical #resistance by the majority of poor peasants and workers, and by a substantial sector of the urban middle class

Second, cooperation and compromise by much of the wealthy elite and some sectors of the middle class, justified by the belief that such cooperation would lead to colonial concessions and avert an outright confrontation in which the colonised would surely be the losers

🇵🇸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.

🇵🇸Teaching AI to Love Israel One Bot at a Time | 21st Century Wire

Over the past year, a paid campaign funded by the government of Israel, executed through the advertising network Havas and the firm Clock Tower X, has sought to shape how AI chatbots, including #ChatGPT, #Claude and #Gemini, answer questions about Israel. The effort left a paper trail and Justice Department filings pointing to A $46.5 million contract but also to a network of websites built for machines rather than readers.

All this was assembled while United Nations investigators described #genocide underway in #Gaza, Israeli forces conducted repeated incursions into #Lebanon, and settler violence and land seizures accelerated across the occupied #WestBank, not to mention an unprovoked war on Iran. It is not the whole story, and treating it as such misses a second, quieter effort that has run alongside it for just as long, aimed at the same goal, and largely unremarked.

🇵🇸Understanding Israel’s campaign to destroy Palestinian refugee camps in the West Bank | Mondoweiss

Israel has vowed to occupy another West Bank refugee camp, as it did in #Jenin and #Tulkarem. A new raid on the #Qalandia refugee camp makes clear that the Israeli campaign isn’t only about ending Palestinian #resistance but also what the camps represent.

🇵🇸A coalition of 102 rights groups penned a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio demanding the release of Sama Safi, a US citizen who has been detained by Israel since June.

“Sama Safi, an American psychology student, was violently detained by armed Israeli soldiers in the #WestBank 77 days ago and has been held in a military prison ever since. Sama Safi is 20 years old and has family in Tampa,” the Council on American-Islamic Relations said in a press release.

“An American citizen was illegally abducted and detained by a foreign military. She has been subjected to abject conditions in the prisons of a foreign country. Every American lawmaker and official should be up in arms over this blatant crime. We call on Secretary Rubio to secure Sama Safi’s immediate release from Israeli detention and hold the Israeli government to account,” the statement added.

🇵🇸Israeli colonists continue siege of three Palestinian homes in Qusra for 11th day


NABLUS, August 19, 2026 (WAFA) — Israeli colonists, under the protection of Israeli occupation forces (#IOF), continued for the 11th consecutive day to besiege three Palestinian homes in the Ras al-Ain area of #Qusra, south of #Nablus, amid attempts to force the families from their homes and impose a new reality on the ground.

According to WAFA correspondent, the occupation forces and colonists continue preventing the families from entering or leaving the three homes, while the area has been declared a closed military zone. The families have also been prevented from receiving essential supplies, including #water.

🇵🇸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.
