[1] BREAKING: 2.5 hours ago a bulldozer demolished 3 water cisterns and 2 water tanks in the Palestinian village of Susya in the South Hebron Hills. In addition to uprooting many trees and sealing up one of the caves of the community.
THREAD
[2] The bulldozer is also blocking almost all access roads to the community.
[3] The madness of this story is that the driver of this bulldozer is Ynon Levy, a settler from the nearby unauthorised outpost - Meitarim Farm. See my post here about him.
[4] Ynon arrived in Susya accompanied by men in IDF uniform. When the lawyer representing the Susya residents spoke to the ICA, he was told that they are unaware of any enforcement activity in Susya.
[5] All this is happening despite a promise from the State to the Supreme Court to not carry out any demolitions in the village of Susya until further notice.
This is the maddening reality in the West Bank these days.

[2] “In these times of pain and terror the notion that there are laws that we must all live by is challenging but essential. Jewish history teaches us that we cannot give up on them.”

[1] These days in Israel, in response to Hamas’ brutal massacre, calls to ethnically cleanse Gaza, deliberately targeting civilians on a mass scale, and other dehumanizing language, have become common.
Here are a few examples of this discourse over the last few days.

[3] “Gaza has to be wiped off from the face of the earth”
[1] Hamas’ war crimes are an opportunity for the Israeli Right to advance their messianic agenda beyond the IDF response in Gaza. From rebuilding settlements in Gaza, to intensifying the takeover of Haram al Sharif/Temple Mount, & pogroms in the WB.
We must prevent this.
THREAD
[2] Arnon Segal is promoting a plan to reoccupy the Gaza Strip and establish settlements there.
[3] Keep in mind what minister Orit Strock said earlier this year: "I don't know how many years it will take... a return to the Gaza Strip will also involve many sacrifices... but there is no doubt… the day will come when we will return to it."
[1] @bezalelsm has announced to the Knesset FAC Committee (19.7.23) his intention to fight Palestinian development in Areas A & B of the WB in the name of national security. Giving a boost to the long, ongoing settler campaign to undo Oslo.
THREAD
[2] In recent years, the settler community, led by @RegavimEng (co-founded by Smotrich) has been working to undo Oslo by fighting Palestinian development in Area C and cementing Israeli permanent rule there.
[3] Let’s remember that according to the Oslo Accords (XI, 3, c), Area C was supposed to “be gradually transferred to Palestinian jurisdiction” (within 18 months of signing and with the exception of “issues that will be negotiated in the permanent status negotiations”).

פירוט הפרויקטים
30 מליון הוקצו לתכנון הביצוע של כביש "מרקם חיים" אל עזרייה-א זעים. (כביש הריבונות) זהו כביש אסטרטגי שנועד לייצר הפרדה בין הפלסטינים למתנחלים במרחב מעלה אדומים, ולנתב את כל התנועה הפלסטינית בין דרום הגדה לצפונה ישר ל"כביש האפרטהייד".
