The prison guards told the released detainees that these were the new instructions received from Ben Gvir.
The next time you hear about the shared values between Israel and the United States, bear in mind that they are referring to Abu Ghraib.
Where shall we bury our shame?

I beseech my friends in the US.
Pay close attention to how Netanyahu is using the cover of a real Covid 19 crisis to nullify the results of an election he lost, to gut constitutional rights and to cripple the Knesset and the. Judiciary.
We are your dry run.

This is the most incisive, compelling take on the the current intolerable and unspeakable events continuing to unfold, not only in Gaza but in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.
The is compulsory listening, especially to Israelis and friends of Israel.
Josh Paul resigned from the State Dept over sending arms to Israel. “I have heard from actually so many hundreds of colleagues at this point who support what I did,” he says. “They are finding what is happening both a moral disaster and a policy disaster for the United States.”

This is not correct. Ben Gvir and the settler thugs are not risking a war in the West Bank, they are actively seeking to spark that war.
It is only then they will be able to fulfill to their messianic fantasy of the 3ndcNakba (without recognizing the existence of the first,).
"Senior U.S. officials believe Israel is at risk of opening another front in its current war, this time in the West Bank."

I was afraid of that.
After this war, when the Netanyahu regime is ousted (by legal means), there are many Israelis, myself included, who will start from scratch & refound this country. I have no idea what it will look like, but be assured. It WON'T be an Israel he can support.

I was part of the itinerary purported to aspire to harm Israel and incite against us.
That is a lie.
I am an Israeli and was honored to be asked to give the Congresswomen an onsite tour and overview of the geopolitics of East Jerusalem. I of course agreed.

This is extremely important & not receiving the attention it deserves. This is no less the case even when we're all justifiably focused on Gaza and the North.
I will begin from the end. The prospect of a Palestinan losing his/her IF is remote, but the dangers are very real.
Sharing an update from a Palestinian friend: "My family member in East Jerusalem said there’s a new directive from the IOF/police that anyone caught even LIKING a post criticizing Israel will have their Jerusalem IDs revoked"
These IDs essentially function as passports

Important and urgent.
Generally I do not follow and report with the same granularity as with East Jerualem. This is an exception.
The threat by the settler and the military (in this context there is little distinction) is clear and imminent.
Sources are reliable.
Act now.
I received alarming messages from dear friends in Susiya and Masafer Yatta. Armed settlers came in the middle of the night with soldiers, assaulting residents, lining the men up outside, and issued an ultimatum: you have 24 hours to leave. /1

Palestinian Bethlehem is 3 miles fro my home in Jérusalem.
It is illegal for me to visit friends in Bethlehem.
Palestinian friends are denied access to Jérusalem.
Security? This is about engineering our consciousness not to see Palestinians, and their humanity.

This AM, the Jerusalem Municipality demolished 4 buildings in E. Jerusalem, the area of Silwan, Ras Al Amud, Wadi Qadum. It includes a 2 story building w/ 4 families, 36 souls homeless.
Why demolitions? to fan the flames.
Why fan the flames? Ben Gvir.
Why Ben Gvir? Netanyahu.
