Israel will go on "interfering with" Palestinians anywhere between the River and the Sea it covets their land, with the goal of dispossessing them. The excuses change from time to time, the ideology remains. haaretz.com/opinion/2022-0…
...to destroy the humble dirt roads and desperate water pipes of the Palestinians in the South Hebron Hills... btselem.org/video/20211026…
After more than 20 years of legal proceedings, the justices in Jerusalem gave the government the green light, which only they may give, to commit the war crime of forced population transfer. #SaveMasaferYatta btselem.org/video/202010_f…

1/ Carolina Landsmann's interesting review of "Who Do You Think You Are?" also mentions - and diagnoses - @btselem (and me personally, perhaps thanks to the comprehensive and generous interview she conducted with me 5 years ago). So, I wanted to respond 🧵 haaretz.com/israel-news/.p…
2/ The thread weaved throughout Landsmann's @haaretzcom critique is the Zionist left's grief over its defeat. But in doing so, if I may, @carolinalandsm1 is writing about herself, while projecting onto the rights organizations that "lost,"...
3/ ...a defeat that "happened a few years earlier to the executive director of B’Tselem, Hagai El-Ad, and to his NGO, and is happening today to @amnesty International: Despairing of the struggle against the occupation, they shifted to waging a battle against Israeli #apartheid."
Brilliantly analyzed and vividly articulated, the recent apartheid report by U.N. Special Rapporteur @MichaelLynk5 is a document you should read. Following are a few highlights 🧵 ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
2/ While acknowledging the growing number of reports looking at apartheid in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory *together*, this report -- consistent with the mandate of the Special Rapporteur -- only addresses Israeli rule over the oPt. btselem.org/apartheid
When @RepRashida speaks of Israel's apartheid regime, she not only echoes her family's lived experience -- but is also articulating the growing consensus of Palestinian, Israeli, and international human rights groups, including @alhaq_org, @btselem and @HRW. /1
For @RepTedDeutch to try and dismiss this factual description of reality as "anti-Semitism" is as disgraceful as it is hollow. In fact, Israel is neither Jewish nor democratic: it is a bi-national reality with full rights given only to the Jewish half. That is apartheid. /2

1// So, speaking of schools and human rights: I actually happened to be in a few schools recently – schools whose students know a thing or two about human rights. haaretz.com/opinion/editor…
2// For example, in Ras a-Tin (east of Ramallah) there is an elementary school with about 50 students. btselem.org/video/202010_s…

אז אגב זכויות אדם ובתי ספר, האמת שדווקא יצא לי במקרה להיות לאחרונה בכמה בתי ספר שהתלמידים שלהם יודעים דבר או שניים על זכויות אדם. haaretz.co.il/news/education…
"a coordinated Israeli-American campaign to threaten the ICC so that it’ll be unable to realize its mandate... The messaging from Jerusalem has been a cocktail of equating the ICC with terrorism, anti-Semitism, or both" | @btselem | @FMEP webinar: Israel-Palestine @IntlCrimCourt
