  3. "The line that the onslaught by #Israel against #Gaza, the #WestBank and #Lebanon is about Hamas and Hizbullah is undercut by a closer look at the indiscriminate nature of the killing and uprooting of Arabs whatever their religion. The Vatican has expressed its concern at the violence against Christian villages in Southern Lebanon and in Gaza. St Porphyrius Church in Gaza was destroyed by Israel in October 2023."

  4. #Palestine Is Being Erased Before Our Eyes’: 100 Former French, British Diplomats Say End Weapons Sales, Trade With Israel

    The abuses by the Israeli government and military are “a stain on the conscience of humanity, requiring the #UK and #France to act.”

    Jon Queally, Aug 23, 2026

    "While critics of the French and British governments say they are doing too little to confront the crimes and #HumanRights violations of #Israel against the #PalestinianPeople, about 100 former diplomats of the two nations penned an open letter published over the weekend agreeing that much stronger actions must be taken to end the atrocities taking place in both the Gaza Strip and the Occupied West Bank.

    Published in Le Monde on Saturday, the joint op-ed by the former UK and French ambassadors and foreign diplomats argues that because their two nations 'played a decisive role in the shaping of the Middle East,' it is incumbent upon them to 'make common cause over the region’s fundamental faultline: equal rights for Israelis and #Palestinians' — a dynamic grossly lacking as Palestinians are starved and bombed in #Gaza, with their rights endlessly under assault in the #WestBank.

    According to the letter:

    - In Gaza, two million Palestinians are kettled into 30% of their devastated land, hungry, lacking medicine and housing. Over 1,200 Palestinians have been killed since the so-called 'ceasefire' of October 2025. In #EastJerusalem and the rest of the #WestBank, Palestinian house demolitions and rampant settler violence— with the connivance of the Israeli army and police—amount to ethnic cleansing. Palestine is being erased before our eyes.

    - This policy of occupation and destruction extends to #Lebanon — where many villages have been razed — and Syria. It is a stain on the conscience of humanity, requiring the UK and France to act."

  6. 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

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. THREAD: In the 1930s, Irish-born #ChaimHerzog emigrated to Palestine, where he joined Jewish terror group the #Haganah. Three decades later, Herzog became the first Israeli military governor of the illegally occupied #WestBank and #eastJerusalem.

    Herzog was the (mostly ceremonial) #PresidentOfIsrael from 1983 to 1993, when the illegal occupation of #Gaza and the #WestBank continued. Illegal settlements on the West Bank grew rapidly.
