The Military Commander of the West Bank justifies these practices by saying that the Palestinian communities in Area C did not receive building permits...

However, the Israeli government’s own policy does not allow Palestinians to obtain building permits in this area.

At the same time, all the Israeli outposts and settlers who live in buildings without legal permits are allowed to connect to the water grid.

High water prices in Palestine are a form of apartheid.

🧵The images of a defiant Trump, surrounded by bodyguards, his arm raised in the air, have gone viral, with many supporters claiming that they represent the most iconic, powerful pictures of all time.
