  3. The best time to end the genocide would have been decades ago. The second-best time would be now, today.

    Every day, Israel has the opportunity to change course. Every day, the US, the Arab oligarchies, and Iran, could each/all shift gears take up in earnest opportunities they are missing to move in more fruitful directions. There are civil actors working hard for this, I'll try to post about them more. nbcnews.com/world/gaza/shootin #Palestine #Israel #Gaza #WestBank #EastJerusalem #USA #imperialism

  5. In East Jerusalem, ‘a whole Palestinian community is about to be expelled’

    Israel is forcing out Al-Bustan’s 1,500 residents to build a biblical theme park. To avoid paying huge fines, families are demolishing their own homes.

  7. This is more than a diplomatic gesture. Spain’s recognition matters because recognitions from Western European states can alter the legitimacy landscape, even when they do not immediately change facts on the ground.

    >> And #Palestine didn’t have proper statehood…

    Massive difference between "didn't have" and "rejected" statehood.

    See #EcstasyAndAmnesia. #Arafat’s refusal to accept the deal offered at #CampDavid—a state on ALL of #Gaza & 90+% of #WestBank, including a capital in #EastJerusalem

    What was foregone at #CampDavid was ALL that PLUS what stood to be gained afterward: #statehood, #Jerusalem, evacuation of #settlements

    This process, through which the state determines and finalizes land ownership rights and officially records them in the State’s land registry has become one of its primary tools for seizing Palestinian land and expanding Jewish settlement in East Jerusalem.

  15. Israeli occupation forces are escalating settler-colonial violence in illegally annexed East Jerusalem: 14 Palestinian homes in al-Bustan, Silwan face demolition, displacing 120 residents including children under the pretext of lacking building permits that Israel systematically denies Palestinians, while expropriating land for "parks" to complete cultural erasure.

    The occupation forces Palestinians to demolish their own homes in Wadi Qadum and Jabal Mukaber, and plans mass expulsion of 40 families in Sheikh Jarrah's Umm Haron community to build 316 illegal settler units on stolen land, severing northern Palestinian Jerusalem from the city center.

    This is demographic engineering through systematic home demolitions, forced displacement of indigenous Palestinians, and illegal settlement expansion around Al-Aqsa Mosque - war crimes under the Fourth Geneva Convention over which the ICC has jurisdiction.

    From the report:

    [...] These measures of uprooting hundreds of Palestinians on one hand and building large settlements on the other threaten to transform Sheikh Jarrah from a Palestinian neighborhood that is part of the Palestinian space surrounding the Old City into an Israeli settlement that severs the center of Palestinian Jerusalem from its northern sections, leaving beside it only a few small and threatened Palestinian enclaves. Over the years, Sheikh Jarrah has become a symbol and example of the struggle over the character and identity of all of Jerusalem. Now we must return and fight for it again," they emphasized.

    JERUSALEM (AP) — "Israeli forces on Tuesday targeted at least two United Nations facilities, pushing forward with its crackdown against the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees tasked with delivering #humanitarian services to millions of people across the region.

    "Crews began bulldozing the United Nations Relief and Works Agency ‘s offices in #SheikhJarrah and fired #TearGas at a vocational school in #Qalandia, marking Israel’s latest and most dramatic step against #UNRWA.

    "Roland Friedrich, the agency’s #WestBank director, said UNRWA had received word that demolition crews and police arrived at their east Jerusalem headquarters early on Tuesday. Staff have not operated out of the facility for almost a year because of safety reasons, but Israeli forces confiscated devices and forced out the private security guards hired to protect the facility."

  25. As genocide continues in Gaza, the West Bank is pushed into a new Nakba

    #Israel's destruction of refugee camps in #Jenin and #Tulkarm is severing families from their homes, emptying communities and accelerating Palestinian erasure

    Settlement expansion, settler attacks on farmers under the protection of Israeli forces, the routine theft of livestock, the destruction of village schools and homes and the forced displacement of Palestinians in the #EastJerusalem neighbourhoods of Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan all amount to systematic attempts to destroy, in whole or part, the #Palestinian people and their relationship to their ancient homeland.

    During a recent visit to the northern #WestBank, I witnessed the physical destruction of refugee camps and was struck by how closely the lives of Palestinians there mirror the devastation faced by refugees in Gaza.

  26. More than 50 NGOs warn Israeli bans will gravely impede aid access in Gaza
    Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and six other states call on Israel to allow aid groups to operate in occupied Palestine

    More than 50 international NGOs operating in occupied #Palestine have warned that recent registration measures imposed by #Israel are threatening to halt operations at a time of acute humanitarian need in #Gaza.

    On 30 December, 37 NGOs received an official notification that their registrations would expire the next day, triggering a two-month period after which they would be required to cease operations in Gaza, as well as the occupied #WestBank and #EastJerusalem.

    The ministry said the ban would also apply to those who "refused to submit a list of their Palestinian employees in order to rule out any links to terrorism".
