For years, the pro-occupation org Ad Kan has done everything in its power to silence us and all those who have made it their mission to tell the public about what the occupation looks like. Unfortunately, they have friends in high places who have for years amplified their lies.
Their attempts to smear us have been echoed at the highest political echelons. Their false claims were reiterated and given new life by the likes of PM Netanyahu, then-ministers Shaked & Yaalon, and even so-called 'centrists' like current opposition leader Lapid.
Once the Atty Gen - having consulted with the IDF, Shin Bet & the State Atty- concluded there were no grounds to investigate us as they'd demanded, Ad Kan didn't stop: they challenged the decision in the High Court of Justice. On Monday, the HCJ firmly rejected their case.
Perhaps you'd expect the politicians who were so eager back then to jump on the bandwagon & disseminate lies, to now be standing in line to issue their heartfelt apologies for spreading false narratives.

But that would of course require integrity.
We're not holding our breath.

On Saturday, nine-year-old Malek Issa from Isawiya in East Jerusalem was shot in the face with a sponge-tipped bullet by Israeli Border Police forces. He is now in hospital and may lose an eye.

Four short comments on the incident: (thread)
a)This horrific incident won’t surprise those who follow news from E.Jerusalem. Issa isn't the 1st child to be hospitalized by Israeli forces.Mohamed Shtiwi,14,was shot by a rubber bullet in the head.Abd alRahman Shtiwi, 10, is in a vegetative state after being shot by live fire.
b) If you weren’t aware of that, it’s worth taking a moment to think about why this kind of thing doesn’t make it into the mainstream media (Israel or abroad). It’s a story about a 9-y-o who may lose his eye, which raises serious questions about police behavior and tactics...

1/Jacob, grew up in Ohio, served in the Paratroopers: Growing up in American Jewish life, my pride in Israel was impenetrable. I encountered endless stories from camp and youth movement friends, many of whom enlisted in the IDF. For me, joining the IDF was the obvious choice.
2/ First time I was in the west bank I didn’t meet any Palestinians because I was securing a road that was permitted to use only for Israelis. So even though it was in the middle of a Palestinian city, Hebron, I don't remember seeing any Palestinians until the next mission>>
3/Where I also began to understand the meaning of being a soldier in the Occupied territories. It was during the summer of 2014 and we we’re part of a big operation that was launched after the kidnap and murder of 3 Israeli teenagers. We we're sent to search. Anything. Everywhere
