A war is coming to the West Bank
Yesterday Palestinian resistance fighters conducted a surgical strike against Israeli occupation soldiers, fully in accordance with international law.
In response, Israeli government immediately announced that they will do war crimes and started doing war crimes.
All the Palestinian villages in the West Bank are under siege, the city of Hebron is under siege. IDF is demolishing house after house, raiding family after family. They said they want to turn Hebron into Rafah.
More than 250 families were kicked out into the streets with nothing. People slept on the street last night.
The Israeli election is in 3 days, and the Netanyahu-Smotrich government is going to use this to start a war in the West Bank.
The only way to stop this is pressure from all directions. We know it works. International pressure worked for the besieged house in Qusra, which still belongs to the Palestinians because of the all-around attention. It can work for Hebron too.
But it will require EVERYONE reading this doing everything they can to stop this. Call your representative, hold a demonstration, organise direct action against the occupation’s assets abroad. Keep attention on the West Bank.
ACT NOW.

In retaliation for the attack in Hebron, the IDF done the following:
1) Ethnically cleansed the neighborhoods of al-Jalda and Ein Dir Baha in western Hebron. Well over 20,000 people in total were told to leave their homes with no date of return. Demolitions in the area have already begun. They have nowehere to go and will have nowehere to return to.
2) They cordoned off Hebron, a city of more than 200,000. He also announced a siege on Hebron and Halhul. It is worth noting that the Hebron governorate was already in dire economic straits, with five of seven entrances closed to a region where over 1 million Palestinians live.
3) Launched a military operation which will last a few days. Netanyahu has warned that a military operation, "the largest in teh West Bank since teh Six Day War" is being consdiered as well.
This is, of course, collective punishment which is a war crime. They are attacking the entire clan from which the attackers came from. All this without trial and without right of appeal. Once settlers moved into Hebron in the 1980s it was always going to end like this. The complete ethnic cleansing of this historic city is just a matter of time.

BREAKING: Netanyahu says Iran has now restarted its nuclear program and intends to destroy Israel within a short time.
"Iran has restarted its nuclear program, and it wants to destroy us within a short time," Netanyahu said an hour ago.
IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir has warned that resuming the war this close to Tuesday's election will force the vote to be postponed indefinitely.
Netanyahu said on Wednesday that toppling the Iranian regime is now his directive to the IDF and Mossad.

A young blonde woman with an American accent in Israel says that all the Arabs must be kicked out of Gaza because it is "our land" since "God commanded us to take it."
The Palestinians should be kicked out to any other Arab state, she continues, except Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, "because they are ours."
"Or we will kill them," she adds
Can we stop pretending that this is a marginal view in Israel? That these are the comments of a fringe minority?
They are not. Israel has been on this path for quite some time.
Western governments know it fully - yet they continue to fund and enable Israel's genocidal policies.

Israel's defenders largely have absolutely no idea what they're talking about.
When challenged about the actual details, even they can't defend the glaring, screaming racism.
Mike Tapp: 'Zionism isn't ethnic cleansing!'
Shehab Khan: 'So why can a Jewish guy in London get Israeli citizenship but a displaced Palestinian can't?'
Mike Tapp: '...I didn't know that. That doesn't sound equal to me.'
The absolute intellectual collapse. He spent whole time defending the ideology, only to admit he doesn't know how it actually works on the ground

If you are Jewish but have 0 family connections between the River & the Sea, you can move there tomorrow, get citizenship & live anywhere you want in Greater Israel.
If you are Palestinian, whose parents & grandparents were born in Palestine, & were expelled from Palestine by force in 1948, 1949, 1950, 1953, 1959, 1967, 1968, 1971, for example, you cannot get citizenship and you cannot live there because you have P positive DNA rather than J positive DNA.
Make sense?
It’s not so complicated after all, it’s called Apartheid Israel.
“I didn't know that.”
After defending Zionism, @MikeTappTweets is challenged by @ShehabKhan on Jewish people abroad being able to obtain Israeli citizenship while displaced Palestinians cannot return.

Important to remember: the killing of soldiers is not terrorism. It’s legitimate warfare against an occupying force. That’s just international law, folks.
NEW: Two Israeli soldiers were killed and three wounded this morning when two Palestinian gunmen opened fire at a temporary checkpoint near Hebron in the occupied West Bank.
The IDF named the dead as Staff Sgt. Ron Yonatan Roytman, 23, from Ashkelon, and Sgt. Yuval Shai Svilem, 20, from Hod Hasharon.
Netanyahu ordered preparations for a full closure of the West Bank ahead of Israel’s October 27 election.

Jake Tapper is struggling, visibly. He should come to grips with the fact that Israel is the real evil of our time….
“It was like this biblical battle where the Palestinian men … went in front of me to protect … me and my rescuers from being attacked again,” Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine told Jake Tapper.
Levine was kicked, beaten with clubs and robbed by Israeli settlers while covering Friday’s olive harvest in the occupied West Bank, leaving her with multiple broken bones. Speaking after leaving the hospital, she said Israeli soldiers charged Palestinian farmers as settlers advanced alongside them. She said that unlike her, Palestinian victims endure these attacks daily, with absolutely nowhere safe to go.
