“The army agreed it’s their home. Then it checked with the settler.” - Unarmed Civilian Protection in Palestine on Instagram (2026-11-01) https://www.instagram.com/p/DfNGws6CBGR/ >> >> Stih is a Palestinian community near Jericho, in the #WestBank. Settlers bulldozed homes here in February. Last week … Day 1: they take over an empty Palestinian home. Day 2: about 20 of them go into a family’s home and trash it... Day 3: a fence, goats, olive saplings. A settler family moves in. Day 4: the homes’ water and electricity are diverted. Soldiers arrive and say they’re helping build the gate. That afternoon, the army’s liaison officer agreed the homes belong to the Palestinian families. Then he said he’d spoken to the settler, and they could go in. The owners say their sofas, beds, TV and air conditioner are gone. One week on, the settlers are still there. This is how an outpost grows. One house, one fence, one gate at a time… #UCPiP #palestine #SettlerViolence #EndOccupation@palestine@fedibird.com

#BTselem: "Israel is taking advantage of the fact that local and international attention is currently diverted from the #WestBank to impose far-reaching measures that constitute collective punishment, which is prohibited under international law.

Israeli soldier posts photo of journalist Marah Awad's arrest after home raid in Beit Ummar, north of Hebron! If it was Russia, China or Iran, it would be reported by all western media. But it is occupied Palestine and Israel can't be criticized, because it hurts the feeling of pro Genocide people in the west. #Israel #Palestine #Occupation #WestBank #Hebron #Fascism

The Palestinians Who Rescued Heidi Levine: My account of the October 16, 2026 assault on Abu Falah (Jasper Diamond Nathaniel, 2026-10-18) https://www.infinitejaz.com/p/the-palestinians-who-rescued-heidi ——— 🙏 Please go and read the article yourself. Excerpts aren’t enough. >> Before heading into the fields, the villagers had coordinated with the IDF to obtain permission to harvest their own olives. In other words, the military had agreed that, for a few hours, it would stop the settlers living on Palestinian land from attacking its rightful owners. But the military was nowhere to be seen, and about an hour into the harvest, dozens of masked settlers began streaming down the hill… #InfiniteJaz #SettlerViolence #WestBank #HeidiLevine #OliveHarvest #palestine @palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@fedibird.com

"There was the incident where illegal Israeli settlers in the West Bank — who are financed, armed, enabled, and otherwise supported in every possible way by the Israeli government — viciously attacked a Washington Post photojournalist, breaking her ribs and fracturing her vertebrae, and a day later attacked a group of European diplomats from Belgium, France, and Poland (countries that, unlike Israel, actually are US treaty allies). The reaction was, well, muted. The Israeli government at first tried to cast doubt on the reports, accuse Palestinians of being the culprits, and even blame the diplomats. The US secretary of state said it was “not a good look.” The German government called it “troubling” and said it should “be criticized,” while the European Union called vaguely for “full accountability.” The Israeli government did arrest ten suspects and has now released nine of them from custody and into house arrest. Given that merely bringing charges against a group of Israeli soldiers who gang-raped a Palestinian prisoner led to Israeli rioting, which then led to those charges being dropped and one of the rapists becoming a quasi-celebrity in the country, don’t hold your breath waiting for this accountability." https://jacobin.com/2026/10/israel-gaza-iran-crimes-settlers #Palestine #WestBank #IsraelTerroristState #Lebanon

The Washington Post interviewed Palestinians prisoners and accessed details of autopsies to document three deaths in Israel's Megiddo #Prison One Palestinian inmate died with a ruptured spleen and broken ribs after being beaten by Israeli prison guards. Another met an excruciating end because a chronic condition went untreated. A third screamed for help for hours before dying.” The three prisoners are among at least 12 Palestinians from the #WestBank and Israel to die in Israeli jails since 7 October, according to Physicians for Human Rights #Israel (PHRI), whose members sat in on the autopsies. “Violence is pervasive,” Jessica Montell, executive director of the Israeli rights group HaMoked, told The Post. “It’s very overcrowded. Every prisoner that we’ve met with has lost 30 pounds.” Septic shock and respiratory failure following the beating were listed as potential causes of death. The Israeli Prison Service has not provided the official autopsy results to Bahash’s family, nor have they returned his body. #gaza #IsraelTerroristState #IsraelWarCrimes #warcrimes #genocide

“The total number of arrests stands at 10,000 in the West Bank and Jerusalem,” the Commission of Detainees’ Affairs, the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS), and Addameer Association for Human Rights said in a joint brief released Monday. Since 7 October, 345 women and 700 children have been imprisoned in the occupied #WestBank and #Jerusalem, according to the brief. It adds that 94 #journalists have been detained, 53 of who are still in custody. “More than 8,322 orders of administrative detention have been issued since 7 October, ranging between new orders and renewals, including orders against children and women,” the brief goes on to say. “The data does not include detention cases of #Gaza, due to the occupation’s refusal to give any information and the continuation of practicing the crime of enforced disappearance against them. The occupation forces arrested about 4,000 citizens from Gaza. At least 22 #Palestinians have died in Israeli custody, according to official numbers. The head of Israel’s Shin Bet security service, Ronen Bar, warned in a letter to #Netanyahu and Itamar Ben Gvir in late June that 21,000 Palestinians are imprisoned in jails across #israel. #IsraelWarCrimes #prison #HumanRights #IsraelApartheid #IsraelTerroristState #Palestine
