After trying—and failing—to make living in the Palestinian town of Masafer Yatta so unbearable that Palestinian residents would leave on their own, Israel is demolishing their homes.
Israel frequently targets the town by forcing residents to evacuate during military trainings, flying low helicopters, enabling settler attacks, and refusing residents access to water and electricity.
Demolishing Palestinian homes is a war crime that Israel plans to continue not only in Masafer Yatta but Sheikh Jarrah, Al-Tur, and more if they are not stopped.
Israel demolishes Palestinian homes as a method of collective punishment and land theft, often citing a lack of permits as an excuse to displace Palestinian families overnight.
Palestinians shouldn’t need Israeli permits to live on their own land.

This video comes after several extremely alarming revelations about Israeli surveillance of Palestinians, namely that Israeli soldiers have been taking photos of Palestinians—including children—and collecting them in a surveillance database.
All the children in this video are extremely young—elementary-school aged. It's illegal for soldiers to take photos of minors, but that does not stop the Israeli army from doing exactly that as an intimidation tactic.
Though the soldier in this video was supposedly reprimanded, there is no word on where the photos are or what they were used for.

An Israeli dossier supplied to American and European governments lacks any evidence justifying the attack on 6 Palestinian human & civil rights orgs, according to multiple news sources who've seen the classified documents.
The dossier instead focused on an unrelated group: the Union for Health Workers Committee, which ran hospitals and health clinics before it was blacklisted by Israel last year.

Israel is hoping to do the same with the 6 human rights organizations it is targeting now.
Multiple European governments—including Ireland, Belgium, and the Netherlands—have chosen to continue their relationships with the organizations after finding Israel’s evidence unconvincing.

THREAD: Israel’s baseless designation of 6 of the most prominent Palestinian human rights organizations as “terrorist groups” is a blatant attempt to silence criticism and attack Palestinian rights.
The organizations targeted are: @DCIPalestine; @Addameer; @alhaq_org; The Bisan Center for Research and Development; The Union of Agricultural Work Committees; and the The Union of Palestinian Women’s Committees.
The work of these organizations includes tracking the murders of Palestinian children at the hands of the Israeli military, exposing human rights violations in Israeli prisons, fighting for women’s rights, advocating for sustainable food practices, and much more.

Guess who’s left out of the conversation about reopening the U.S. consulate in Jerusalem? 🧐
Discussing Palestinians without Palestinians is the equivalent of an all-white task force on racial justice. Laughable. Absurd. Dangerous.
Jerusalem is an occupied city under international law, and Trump’s decision to move the U.S. embassy there should be seen for what it is: a flagrant attempt to deny Palestinians the right to the city they call home.

THREAD: The lives of six Palestinian political prisoners on hunger strike are in grave danger.

The six imprisoned Palestinians are on a lengthy hunger strike—between 51 and 90 days each—protesting their administrative detention by Israel.
Administrative detention—meaning indefinite imprisonment without charge or trial—is commonly used by Israel to torment Palestinians in custody and punish their families on the outside.
The six Palestinians are: Miqdad Al-Qawasameh, 24, Alaa Al-Araj, 34, Hisham Ismail Abu Hawasheh, 39, Rayeq Sadiq Bisharat, 45, and Shadi Abu Akar, 37.

THREAD: Israel is moving to further expropriate vast swaths of Jerusalem, all while the U.S. provides diplomatic cover.
Yesterday, while Israeli Foreign Minister Lapid was meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Blinken, Israel approved plans to move forward with thousands of housing units in occupied East Jerusalem.
One of the approved plans would entirely cut off the large Palestinian village of Beit Safafa from the rest of occupied East Jerusalem, completely surrounding it with illegal Israeli settlements.
