Israel/Palestine Thread

Never thought toddlers would make such good human shields but time and again the IOF prove me wrong. That little kid shielded everyone in that car. Total miracle!

The barbaric treatment he has received shows how evil Israel is.

Palestinian doctor Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, has been placed in solitary confinement after more than 500 days in Israeli prison without formal charges, according to accounts from his family and medical rights organizations.

Abu Safiya was detained at his workplace on December 27, 2024 during "Israel's" invasion of northern Gaza. Since then, he has remained in custody under "Israel’s" “unlawful combatant” designation, a classification that allows extended detention without trial or indictment.

Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI) reported that Abu Safiya was recently transferred from Ketziot Prison to Ramon Prison, located within the Ganot prison complex, where he was subsequently placed in solitary confinement. The organization stated that the occupation did not provide any justification for the transfer.

A legal visit conducted last month documented accounts of deteriorating detention conditions, including untreated medical issues, restricted food access, and worsening health complaints.

Israel and the US will be selling land in Gaza and Greenland next

What’s already in place in West Bank's “AREA C”, with the Jewish Israeli illegal settlements, has always been a RED FLAG for what will potentially happen with Trump’s SHAM Board of Peace plans for Gaza.

There is a widespread international consensus among political analysts, diplomats and foreign ministers (5 Nation Coalition), UN independent Inquiry, etc., that Israel is establishing a permanent military presence in Gaza and will never fully leave. Look at Gaza’s map where Israel have advanced from the Yellow Line and are occupying over 60 percent of Gaza’s territory.

WEST BANK
NB: Under Oslo Accords, East Jerusalem was EXCLUDED from administrative zones A, B & C. To be finalised at a later date.

The 1995 Oslo II Accords were intended to be a transitional period, not to exceed 5 years. And, the 3 administrative zones of West Bank were meant to be transferred to the Palestinian Authority (PA), where they would have full jurisdiction - without interference from Israel. This never transpired.

Israel is now moving in on administrative zone ”AREA A” (18% of land) where the PA has both civil and security control.

ISRAEL is prohibited from entering AREA A.

• Administrative zone: “Area C” comprises 60% of the land, and is controlled by ISRAEL.
• Administrative zone: “Area B” makes up 22% of land where PA has civil control and ISRAEL controls SECURITY.

AREA A’S MAJOR CITIES INCLUDE BETHLEHEM, JERICHO, RAMALLAH, NABLUS, TULKARM, QALQILYA, AND HEBRON

^ Under 1997 Hebron Protocol, Hebron city was partitioned to divide security responsibilities: HEBRON (H1) has West Bank’s largest population. PA controls 80% of this city (H1).

HEBRON (H2) Israel has military SECURITY Control of 20%. Palestinian Authority has civic control.

^ However, there is a settlement exception where ISRAEL has DE FACTO civil administration over the ILLEGAL Jewish settlements located inside Hebron H2. ^ ⬇️

“High Court orders state to explain expansion of Hebron settler autonomy”
“Flashpoint city’s Palestinian municipality claims military order establishing new body to tend to infrastructure needs of city’s Jewish residents would trump its own authority”
By Jacob Magid, 5 July 2018
https://www.timesofisrael.com/high-court-orders-state-to-explain-expansion-of-hebron-settler-autonomy/

“The panel of three judges gave the state 120 days to explain why it should not revoke a military order that transfers responsibility for the settlers’ infrastructure needs — including electricity, road pavings, and sewage — from the city’s Palestinian municipality to a new Israeli municipal committee under the Interior Ministry’s jurisdiction that supersedes the local authority.

“The August 2017 order signed by the head of the IDF’s Central Command had been lauded by right-wing ministers as a move would strengthen the Jewish community in the flashpoint city. [...]

[This is the reality for 40,000 Palestinians:] Under the Hebron Protocol signed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in January 1997, the West Bank’s most populous city was divided into two sections. H1 includes 80 percent of the city and lies under full Palestinian control. In H2, 500 Israeli settlers live in fortified compounds heavily guarded by the IDF in the midst by 40,000 Palestinians, whose movements are highly restricted. ⬅️

US and Israel want YOU to get with their “pogrom” for Gaza !! What to do?

The violence, intimidation, ethnic cleansing, and genocide never stops. The christian bible will have to be rewritten in the future to move the stable from Bethlehem to some god-forsaken golf course in Florida.

On June 9, extremist Israeli settler groups launched a coordinated arson attack on the historic Christian village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank, torching agricultural fields east of Ramallah as part of a systematic campaign of ethnic cleansing.

The violence against the 3,000-year-old village intensified following the establishment of an illegal settlement outpost in the immediate vicinity, as local residents of Taybeh face persistent encroachment and assaults by Israeli settlers whose stated objective is to seize the area's rich pastoral lands.

The greatest danger to Israel's continued existence comes not from the Palestinians, Hamas, Hezbollah or the Houthis. It comes from Israel herself. This is what all the rabid Zionists don't seem to grasp. People can understand Israel retaliating for October 7th. But what they've done is maniacally out of proportion for the act which justified a retaliation.

The basic problem I see is that the Israelis don't see Palestinians as being equal to them. They never have since the country was founded back in 1948. Even you suggest on line a Palestine from the river to the sea where ALL live as equal under the law Zionists go tonto. Israel will never allow a Palestine to flourish. Therefore a two state solution is impossible.

Therefore the're almost making it necessary for Israel to be dissolved as an entity to have true peace in the middle east. Israel's reaction to October 7th has made it a pariah nation around the world. I'm struggling to see how they recover from this.

The basic premise of Israel's creation in 1948 made it impossible to succeed as an entity as it required land to be taken from the Palestinians. The only hope it had of lasting for eternity was to found a state where all were equal before the law. But that's never been the case. People who are prosperous have less reason to be militant.

New Amnesty report. These are very useful as historical documents to prove the complicity of the Israeli and Western governments and silent international organisations.

https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/research/2026/06/israel-west-bank-ethnic-cleansing/

Since 1967, Israel has been enforcing its occupation through military orders and regulations. The situation in the OPT, including in Area C of the West Bank, is therefore primarily governed by international humanitarian law (including the rules of the law of occupation); and international human rights law. The same international norms apply to occupied East Jerusalem, illegally annexed by Israel since 1967, despite Israel’s attempts to separate it from the rest of the West Bank through a regime of fragmentation and legal segregation.

In this report, Amnesty International presents conclusive evidence that these violations, perpetrated between January 2023 and December 2025, amount to the war crime of unlawful deportation and transfer and the crime against humanity of forcible transfer or deportation, committed as part of a policy to ethnically cleanse Area C of the occupied West Bank by forcibly displacing Palestinian Bedouin and herding communities and expanding illegal settlements at their expense.

Amnesty International uses the term ethnic cleansing in this report to describe a deliberate pattern of conduct aimed at permanently removing Palestinian Bedouin and herding communities from specific areas of the occupied West Bank, in particular Area C. While ethnic cleansing is not recognized as an independent crime under international law, Amnesty International uses the term in line with the UN Commission of Experts on Former Yugoslavia’s definition, which describes it as “a purposeful policy designed by one ethnic or religious group to remove by violent and terror-inspiring means the civilian population of another ethnic or religious group from certain geographic areas.”  

While this report covers the period between December 2022 and December 2025, these egregious crimes are ongoing and are part and parcel of Israel’s system of apartheid, as shown by Amnesty International’s continuous documentation and reporting of the situation on the ground.

Jail sentences on terror charges for highlighting part of the UKs contribution to ethnic cleansing. It reminds me of Animal Farm and The Trial.

A UK court has handed jail sentences to four activists from the Palestinian Action group on “terror” charges after they were convicted for a raid on an Israeli arms company.

Judge Jeremy Johnson at Woolwich Crown Court handed down sentences of about five to eight years to the quartet as he branded their August 2024 raid on the Elbit Systems site in Bristol a “terrorist act”.

@batman75; @Tony EH; I don’t think it’s Palestine that is a threat, it’s Israel. The Jewish state needs to move towards becoming a secular state. NOT A THEOCRACY. But how would that happen? Most Israelis are comfortable with resting their foot on the neck of Palestine.

^ Thank you both for your input. This needs to be more fully discussed on the thread.
