#settlers — Public Fediverse posts

This should not surprise anyone. Israeli policy seems to be one of ‘evict anyone who has not been killed or forced out through intimidation’. Words will be had in Europe (and the UK) but nothing will be done to even deter terrorism.

The Settlers mě naučili, že největším nepřítelem není nepřátelská armáda, ale špatně postavená cesta. 😁

Underage criminals. A deeply rotten society!

"It isn't easy to visit the families of Qusra, in the northern West Bank, whose homes have been besieged by settlers since last week. Instead of chasing away the settlers, the IDF extracted up to 20 Palestinian families, then let some back, but not all. Those who returned found their homes trashed and designated a closed military zone, still under IDF control."

Radical #settlers have established hundreds of additional outposts without government authorization, while still enjoying protection from the Israeli military & often other public services.

#Netanyahu’s government, the most #nationalist & #religious in #Israel’s history, has boasted of establishing over 100 new #settlements. On Thurs, as the army deployed in Qusra, members of his Cabinet celebrated the rebuilding of a settlement that had been dismantled in 2005 as part of the #Gaza withdrawal.

#Israel captured the #WestBank, along with #Gaza & east #Jerusalem, in the 1967 Mideast war, territories the #Palestinians want for a future state.

Since then, the Israeli government has built nearly 150 #settlements that are home to well over 500,000 Jewish #settlers. Many of the settlements resemble fully developed suburbs, with apartment blocks, shopping malls, parks & industrial zones.

Perhaps the greatest difference between European settlement and Aboriginal Australia can be summed up in a single idea.
Europeans largely believed they owned the land.
Aboriginal Australians believed the land entrusted itself to their care.
There is profound wisdom in that distinction.
Ownership asks, “What can I take?”
Caretaking asks, “What must I leave behind for those who come after me?”

Orepuki or Aropaki - Town & District Schools, Class Photos from 1920-1942

Orepuki or Aropaki - Town & District Schools, Class Photos from 1920-1942:

IMAGES
Photo 1 - Orepuki School class, taken c1939 to 1941; Sepia Tone Class Photo of 26 children. Known pupils are: Shirley Alison Lee, at left of front row; Elsbeth (Betty) May Macdonald in front row 2nd from right; Neil McAllister is fifth in from left in second row. And if you recognize anyone else from your family or if you have a named copy of this photo, please get in touch or pop the names in a comment

Photo 2 - Orepuki School pupils outside the School "War Memorial Gates", but no year; Sepia Tone Photo of school children with the school behind the gates. Known pupils are: Elsbeth (Betty) May Macdonald in second row from front and 4th from right. If you recognize anyone from your family or if you have a named copy of this photo, please get in touch or pop the names in a comment

Photo 3 - Orepuki School class, taken c1941-42; Black & White Photo of 28 children. Known pupils are: Elsbeth (Betty) May Macdonald later Higgins in the front row 6th from left or 4th from right and she was born March 1931. We have been told that its likely to be Shirley Lee in the second row first on the left, by her daughter (Shirley appears to have been born September 1930, so these names fit the date). If you recognize anyone from your family or if you have a named copy of this photo, please get in touch or comment with names.

Photo 4 - Orepuki School class, taken c1937; B & W Photo of 30 children. The known pupils are: Elsbeth (Betty) May Macdonald later Higgins in the back row first on left. If you recognize anyone else from your family or if you have a named copy of this photo, please get in touch or comment with the names.

Photo 5 - Orepuki School class, taken we think in the late 1930's; B & W Photo of 30 and 1/2 children (should be 31, but sadly 1 is half chopped off on right!)
It is thought that the girl in the striped jacket on the right in the back row may be Myra Hogg (she was born in 1931) & Raymond George Herrick (born 1928) is said to be in the front row third from left by his own daughter, so we will presume this is correct. These dates do fit presumed year for photo. If you recognize anyone else from your family or if you have a named copy of this photo, please do get in touch, or put the names in the comments section.

Photo 6 - Orepuki School Class, taken 1920; B & W Photo of 23 children; The known pupils are: Doris May Finn later Macdonald in the back row second from right. We have also been told that the child in the middle row on the far right is Bessie Butler later Lee. If you recognize anyone else from your family or if you have a named copy of this photo, please get in touch or comment.

The school at Orepuki (or originally Aropaki) has a varied and extremely interesting background, as does the township, more of which can be read in the early history written further below.

Formerly a large gold town, after that had dried up and coal mining was overtaken by the Nightcaps companies, along with the Shale Works closing in 1902, most of Orepuki ended up deserted. It became only the farming community that stayed on to support the township in its fight for survival.

Of course, the school was also affected, as it was downsized considerably. It somehow struggled on over the years though and stayed open. Over the 1-4 of Feburary 1934, is when the Orepuki School had its 50th year Diamond Jubilee. We would love some photos of this event, do you have any that you can contribute to our Community Archives of this event?

The newest Orepuki School was not built until 1968 and it was erected directly behind the old school that was moved there prior, then the old building was then taken down. From this point on, children in the Orepuki township and district could attend their local school only up until the old Standard Four, at which time they had to then bus to the Aparima College in Riverton, which had the old Forms 1-7. For many years the Orepuki School, which somehow managed to carry on, continued to contribute its students to Riverton’s new Aparima College. But in 2003 the school at Orepuki was finally closed.

But this did not end the controversy over getting children from Orepuki to school safely. In 2017 it was reported that plans to move the school bus stop had been withdrawn, after Aparima College, Riverton ...

“Netanyahu announced new settler outposts as punishment for Palestinian resistance. The decision, it turns out, was made before the violence that supposedly justified it.”

Andy Worthington: Holocaust survivors against the Gaza genocide

Andy Worthington
(fb post, Jul 19th, 2026)

Yesterday, on the latest National March for Palestine in London, this particular group of campaigners, Holocaust Survivors and Descendants against the Gaza Genocide, highlighted, as they always do, the absolute hypocrisy of any Jewish people anywhere supporting Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip.

The group includes two child Holocaust survivors, Stephen Kapos and Agnes Kory, seated in the centre of the photo, and numerous other descendants of Holocaust survivors, and their message is irrevocably powerful.

They condemn Israel’s ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip, they compare their own experiences of Nazi oppression to the oppression currently inflicted on the Palestinians, they believe that “Never again” means “Never again for anyone”, and they take part in every protest to actively counter claims that the pro-Palestine marches are inherently antisemitic or represent “no-go zones” for Jewish people.

See the 25-minute documentary about the group, “Gaza it Rhymes With Me”, here: https://youtu.be/CRtbBnHDSjM

Read the evidence they gave to the UK’s Foreign Affairs Committee here: https://committees.parliament.uk/writtenevidence/133248/pdf/

And see here for an international list of Jewish survivors and descendants of survivors of the Nazi genocide who “unequivocally condemn the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza and the ongoing occupation and colonization of historic Palestine”: https://www.ictuni.org/sites/default/files/publications/full_page_b_tel_final_final.pdf
