The Palestinian people in Masafer Yatta refuse to be ethnically cleansed from their homeland. #DefendMasaferYatta
Today, Israel began the year by destroying 4 Palestinian homes in Masafer Yatta, forcing out native Palestinian families who've existed on this land for generations

While the new increasingly fascist right-wing Israeli government is now in place, Israel has been brutally killing Palestinian people and stealing their land for decades.
Now, Israel is planning to accelerate ethnic cleansing in Masafer Yatta & expel 1,000+ Palestinian people.

The lack of international pressure, as the U.S. continually fails to hold Israel accountable, is only further enabling Israel's war crimes.
Remember: Our U.S. tax dollars—$3.8+ billion a year—fund Israel's colonial violence, like today's demolitions.

Israel apartheid systematically deprives Palestinians of their lands to allow settlement expansion and to steal natural resources.
In 1981, Israel declared 3000 ha of the 3600 ha that make up Masafar Yatta as military Firing Zone 918. Over 40 years later, this serves as a pretext to forcibly expel the Palestinian population.

Firing Zone 918 was created directly as a tool of expulsion & colonization.
Then agriculture minister, Ariel Sharon, later prime minister, proposed Firing Zone 918 with the explicit intention of forcing local Palestinians from their homes & build Jewish-only settlements instead.

End of August, at the start of the school year, Israel escalated systematic attacks to stop families from sending their children to school.
Apartheid Israel denies Palestinians the right to education to try to drive them out of the 8 villages.

4 schools in Masafer Yatta (Jinba, Khalet Athaba’, Khirbet Al-Fakhiet, Khirbet al-Majaz) received demolition orders last week and Umm Qassah School, which serves 50 students from 4 Bedouin villages, is under threat from demolition since last year.
As the school year started, Israeli occupation forces denied teachers & students access to their schools in Jinba and Al-Fakhiet & arrested a teacher confiscating his car that he needs to reach the school.

On the 40th anniversary of the Israeli massacre in the Palestinian refugee camps Sabra and Shatila, we watch in horror as Palestinians living in Masafer Yatta are facing the largest forced expulsion since 1967 at the hands of the same military.
Right now in Masafer Yatta, there are 12 Palestinian villages and 2 schools that could be demolished at any moment. The people of Masafer Yatta, half of them children, are subjected to daily attacks and nightly raids by the Israeli military and settlers.
Since the start of the school year in Masafer Yatta, the Israeli military stopped and detained Palestinian teachers and students nearly every day on their way to class. These abhorrent tactics are intended to target Masafer Yatta’s most vulnerable population: children.

"My house & neighbors’ houses, everyone was terrorized. It was like rain falling of tear gas, clouds of tear gas flooding the village." —Sami Huraini of @YouthOfSumud

"Human being rights in Masafer Yatta are in real danger. People could lose their lives at any moment—Israelis don’t care, they can start bombing & shooting. This is because the international community is not holding any accountability of Israel." —Sami Huraini of @YouthOfSumud

Hafez Huraini is currently being held in Israeli prison.
He has defended his land his whole life & inspired younger Palestinians for decades—this is exactly why Israeli soldiers & settlers targeted him.

One week from today, the Israeli government will impose severe new travel restrictions that will further discriminate against Palestinian people.

These new travel restrictions will force Palestinian people to hand over invasive surveillance information such as family member ID numbers.
The restrictions will also prevent Palestinian people from visiting Palestine, cruelly separate families, & cause further racial trauma.

Israel's new travel restrictions will further discriminate against Palestinians & separate them from family.
Yet @StateDept @DHSGov want to bring Israel into the visa waiver program—so Israeli nationals can enter the U.S., while Palestinian Americans can't visit their homeland.
