Israeli Policies and Settler Violence Are Driving Palestinians from the #JordanValley

In the occupied #WestBank, Israeli restrictions on movement for #Palestinians, denial of access to resources, and settlement expansion have all ramped up over the past 18 months.

From #DropSiteNews
Apr 14, 2025

'"We live in constant anxiety, day and night, due to #settler attacks," Bsharat told Drop Site. His family of 12 relies primarily on their flock of sheep for a living. In recent months, they have been repeatedly threatened by #Israeli settlers, who warn they will be shot if they cross onto the nearby land. "They raid our communities with tractors, provoke residents, and prevent us from accessing grazing areas. The army and settlers have seized the land for settler cattle farms."'

>>>> nobody is throwing themselves on the gears of the machinery to even slow it down.

>> Why or not can the same thinking be applied to rationalize events in #Gaza & #Palestine?

If we make a distinction between #McVeigh and #Mangione and say the latter deserves sympathy, we ought to make a distinction between #Hamas and #Palestinians, including children throwing rocks at #IDF.

It's not just the motive. The bias is towards who you empathize with.

People are again rationalizing #hamas into some kind of humanitarian organization, using #Israel's bombing campaign as an excuse to promote lies and propaganda that solidify the pretense that Hamas are the good guys.

They are not.

Hamas kills #Palestinians.

Hamas oppresses #gaza

Hamas started this war.

Hamas continues to hold hostages that it could have released every day since October 7.

And, yes, Hamas DOES operate from hospitals, schools, and apartment buildings. There are no aboveground Hamas bases.

There are many pictures and videos of Hamas fighters shooting at the #IDF from hospitals and schools.

Regardless of how you feel about the way Israel is conducting the war, that doesn't make Hamas a patriotic organization that represents the interests of the Palestinian people.

Hamas exists for only 1 reason: To destroy Israel and #Jews everywhere, all over the world.

Hamas doesn't care about the suffering of the Palestinian people.

Hamas doesn't want peace or a ceasefire or co-existence.

There are 1 million Israeli citizens who are Palestinians. If you ask any of them if they want to be governed by Hamas they will look at you like you are insane.

And you know what? You ARE insane to be praising Hamas, repeating their lies and propaganda, and pretending that they represent the interests of the Palestinians of Gaza.

Hamas is a terrorist organization. They have done nothing right, nothing good, and nothing worth praising.

Hamas has committed horrific war crimes. Hamas has committed crimes against humanity - all against the Palestinian people.

Netanyahu's conduct is reprehensible but the fact he is a monster doesn't make Hamas any less monstrous.

If you say nothing about Hamas while condemning the bombing campaign then you are supporting #terrorism and #genocide

Silence is complicity.

Leaked Data Reveals Massive Israeli Campaign to Remove Pro-#Palestine Posts on Facebook and Instagram

"A sweeping crackdown on posts on #Instagram and #Facebook that are critical of #Israel—or even vaguely supportive of #Palestinians—was directly orchestrated by the government of Israel, according to internal Meta data obtained by Drop Site News. The data show that #Meta has complied with 94% of takedown requests issued by Israel since October 7, 2023. Israel is the biggest originator of takedown requests globally by far, and #Meta has followed suit—widening the net of posts it automatically removes, and creating what can be called the largest mass #censorship operation in modern history."

Israel isn't only crushing Palestinians' homes and cities. It's intent on crushing all their hopes and dreams. This is a genocide of a people's the spirit.

"The contract we secured was a work agreement to produce music videos. I was the band’s sound engineer and music producer while Saadi was the director. We were finally going to be able to support ourselves by pursuing our passion; Saadi was overjoyed."

Regarding "Judge says US can deport #Palestinians activist #MahmoudKhalil"

You CAN make a difference. Fill out an app today and BURY THE DOJ in applications to process. Make shit up and file one daily. IMAGINE if tens of thousands of people did that? That tactic was stolen from the Vietnam War Draft Resistance. Change of address was required IMMEDIATELY, and every post office had stacks of self-addressed stamped mailers.

Get the picture?😎
