#israel #palestine : #genocide / #judaism / #dispute

„Amid Israel’s ongoing #destruction of #Gaza, its illegal #annexation of land in the Occupied #WestBank, & belligerent warmaking in #Iran and #Lebanon, #antisemitism around the globe is rising — but so is an international chorus of anti-Zionist Jews speaking out against Israel’s #crimes. (…) M. Steiner … speaks with (…) P. Beinart about his new #book (…) & about the “civil war” within the Jewish world over Israel.“

„The death of a 14-year-old boy shot dead on Tuesday outside his school in Al-Mughayyir marks a new peak in an unprecedented spiral of violence in the West Bank. #Targetedkillings, #destruction of farmland and expanding settlements have all intensified, largely ignored by political and diplomatic actors.“

„Residents waking to find line has moved overnight and they are now in free-fire zone as army takes more territory.

Israeli forces have been moving an agreed truce line in Gaza westwards over the six months since the ceasefire, expanding their zone of control and making the state of limbo ever more dangerous for Palestinians.“

„Israel has re-established a settlement in the Palestinian village of Sanur, 20 years after it was dismantled as part of Israel’s withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.

The village (…) is the latest project amid an acceleration of settlement #expansion in the occupied West Bank, which has risen sharply since the start of Israel’s genocide in Gaza in 2023.“

Texas lawmakers are exploring whether to annex one or more New Mexico counties, particularly Lea County, a vast chunk of southeastern New Mexico bordering West Texas. The proposal, driven by conservative residents feeling alienated from progressive Santa Fe politics, would bring 75,000 people, federal funding, and more oil reserves into Texas. While New Mexico's governor dismisses it as "not a serious" idea, the move reflects ongoing debates about state identity, Republican political advantages, and regional economic interests. It continues a lawless push by conservatives in blue states like California and Oregon to change the land border instead of simply moving out of state. Could this lead to a civil war?

His remarks would definitely have met with great approval from #Netanyahu & his Cabinet colleagues, & been seen as full support for their #policy of #annexation of the #WestBank. The "Wadi of Egypt" may refer to the Nile (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brook_of_Egypt), and the "Great River", as Huckabee acknowledged, is the Euphrates. The land encompassed would constitute a #racist #Israeli Empire!

„The residents said they call the police frequently to ask for help — but it seldom arrives. Settlement expansion has been promoted by successive Israeli governments over nearly six decades. But Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right government, which has placed settler leaders in senior positions, has made it a top priority.“

„Inside West Bank: Die Siedler und das besetzte Land

Der Krieg in Gaza ist zu Ende. [?] Währenddessen breiten sich in der West Bank israelische Siedlungen weiter aus. Palästinenser:innen sprechen von wachsender Gewalt seitens der Siedler, Siedler hingegen von Sicherheit, die diese Siedlungen bringen sollen. Wie sieht der Alltag all dieser Menschen aus?“

Israel weighs West Bank annexations in response to Palestine recognition push

The Israeli government is seriously debating the annexation of parts of the occupied #WestBank in retaliation for imminent recognition of Palestine by several western countries, according to three Israeli, U.S. and European officials with direct knowledge.

Israel’s next move will depend on the stance of President Trump, who blocked annexations twice in his first term. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee told Axios the administration doesn’t yet have a position.

Countries including Australia, Canada, France and the U.K. announced they will recognize the State of Palestine during the UN General Assembly in September, joining nearly 150 countries that already do.

European officials warn #annexation would likely lead to sanctions against #Israel by the EU and western countries.

A quotation from Will Rogers

   Then [President Coolidge] said he wished I had the time to go up into Canada and see what kind of deal I could make in the way of annexation, that Canada was just about on the verge of seeing the advantage of having a working connection with some live growing concern. […]
   Now from what I can see, there don’t seem to be any demand in Canada to join in with us and be murdered or run over with us. They strike me as entirely too sane a nation to fit in our scheme of things down home. Why, you can still buy a drink without having to take a whole case, and can believe in Evolution. You can do both of these things and not be considered an Atheist up here.
   They have the queerest ideas of what is right and wrong that way. Now I have no idea but what we could take them over and make a paying proposition out of them, for the country now is supplying about everything we use in the way of raw materials. But I hate to interrupt a friendship that has been going on now pretty steady since the battle of Lake Erie. You see they don’t owe us and they still think we are pretty good neighbors, so if we can just keep from annexing them, and keep from loaning them anything in the way of a government debt, why we ought to be friends for years to come. […]
   What we need is some good country to annex us.

Experts say Israel’s West Bank demolitions aim to drive Palestinians away

Israel is carrying out more demolitions this year than in any other year of the occupation, which began in 1967.

Documentation of the systematic destruction of Tuckers Nob forests

"Presentation for Friends of Tuckers Nob on the history and significance of Tuckers Nob State Forest and why it must be included in the NSW Government's proposed 'Great' Koala National Park. Based on a recent preliminary report submitted to government, showing the original forest and koala sightings, with a list of moratorium areas (including Tuckers). All the most recent developments, bringing the viewer up to date. This is why we need a #GreaterKoalaPark, with no logging."

The video has a link to the report containing the results (maps) of the investigations by Dr Tim Cadman and local community-based citizen scientists:

The Broader Push to Rewrite #History.

Israel's assault on #Palestinian #heritage goes beyond fabricated #archaeological narratives—it’s a #systematic effort to erase history and consolidate control. Here are more key aspects of the campaign:

#Looting of #WestBank #Antiquities :

For decades, #Israel has #exploited the occupied territories' rich archaeological sites, #smuggling thousands of #artifacts to build its #colonial narrative. The new bill seeks to #institutionalize this #theft, granting #extremist officials unchecked authority over excavation and #HeritagePreservation in Palestinian areas.

The Role of the Israeli Antiquities Authority:

Under the guise of #AcademicResearch, the #IsraeliAntiquitiesAuthority frequently removes artifacts from the West Bank, exhibiting them in Israeli #museums without acknowledging their Palestinian origins. This process not only strips Palestinians of their #cultural history but also bolsters Israel’s claim to the land.

Settler-Led Excavations:

Settler organizations like #Elad are at the forefront of #illegal excavations, particularly in East #Jerusalem. These digs disrupt Palestinian neighborhoods, displace families, and create #tourist sites glorifying biblical narratives while erasing the #multicultural history of the region.

Linking Settlements to #BiblicalClaims:

Israeli settlement expansion is increasingly tied to archaeological claims. By declaring areas with supposed biblical significance, such as #Hebron or #Shiloh as part of #Jewish heritage, the #llegalOccupation justifies #annexation and denies Palestinians access to their land.

The International Fallout:

Despite warnings from Israeli #archaeologists and global institutions, the government continues its #unilateral moves. If the bill passes, Israel risks severe isolation, as #CulturalTheft violates international conventions, including #UNESCO protection of #CulturalHeritage during conflicts.

These moves are not just an assault on history—they are an extension of the colonial project, reshaping the narrative to legitimize an occupation that erases Palestinian identity. The stakes go beyond antiquities; they encompass the right of a people to their past, present, and future.
