Israeli settlers push Bedouins off West Bank territory
Israeli settlers push Bedouins off West Bank territory
Herders report violence driving them from their homes in accelerating, aggressive and highly effective campaign
It'd be laughable if it wasn't as tragically predictable.
Manifest destiny moment
Those attacks are disgusting and Israel has to do everything to stop them
Yeah, I don’t think Israel is going to stop them since supporting settlers’ illegal actions and annexing the West Bank is literally the main policy goals of the Israeli right. https://apnews.com/article/west-bank-benjamin-netanyahu-israel-government-e36ed7260e0398406d9a8ba319b0b741
Israel: "I take all the palestinian territory and kick out Palestinian residents"
Palestine: "We are going to war against you and shoot rockets at you"
Israel: "I must defend myself from these unjust and unprovoked attacks"
Authors note: I don't condone the attacks from Hamas, but Israel kinda pushed them to that point. Fuck both sides.
I'm picturing Willy Wonka trying to stop the kids.
No.. Stop.. Don't..
Lol Israel supports this shit. Israel being the zionist and far-right government who want a theocratic ethostate
hmmm. now obviously it's forbidden to add 1 and 1 together. this attack that israeli intelligence "missed" and "failed to anticipate", the worldwide media propaganda against palestine, and this.
You honestly should go and see a doctor… you seem to see conspiracies in many places… and only YOU see how everything is connected. That doesn’t make you suspicious of yourself at all?
You also know that Israeli settlers do not represent Israelis in general, right ?
same goes for the Hamas who do not represent all palestine people...
heartbreaking
Any opportunity used. During conflict with Iraq, they did the exact same thing of destroying water and electricity infrastructure, plus settling in already occupied land. We know its going on and its history.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The tiny settlement overlooking the Bedouin village of Ein Rashash is named “Angels of Peace”, but, says Sliman al-Zawahri, its residents have visited only violence, fear and despair on his family.
This week the Bedouin community packed up most of their belongings and drove all the women, children and elderly people from the West Bank ridge they had called home for nearly four decades, perched above a spring and beside an archaeological site.
Men from Angels of Peace are part of a broad, violent and very successful political project to expand Israeli control of the West Bank that has accelerated, say activists, since the 7 October attacks by Hamas launched a war with Israel.
“This has been the most successful land-grab strategy since 1967,” said Yehuda Shaul, a prominent activist who is director of the Israeli Center for Public Affairs thinktank, and a founder of Breaking the Silence, an NGO that exposes military abuses in occupied areas.
Along with demolitions, evictions and restrictions on movement and construction, the attacks on herders created “a coercive environment that contributes to displacement that may amount to forcible transfer, a grave breach of the Fourth Geneva convention”.
In the most extreme cases, villagers are so frightened of travelling on roads controlled by settlers that Israeli activists from groups that try to protect Bedouin communities – living with them, walking with them as they herd flocks and documenting abuses – are bringing them food and water.
