Israeli government approves resolution to stop all government advertising in Ha’aretz, and calls upon all publicly funded institutions to cease all communications with the newspaper. This, due to Ha’aretz “harming the legitimacy of the State” and publisher’s call for sanctions
And shortly after: the government is pushing forward a bill to either privatize or shut down the Public Broadcasting Corporation, Kan, which ministers see as too independent. In the words of one of the ministers: “what is it worth if we don’t control it?”
And - over the past year, Israel has killed over 130 journalists in Gaza, and passed a bill to shut down outlets such as Al-Jazeera

Right now: Israeli Military Police arrives at Sde Timan jail to arrest soldiers for rape and torture of Palestinian detainees. Soldiers on the scene are resisting the arrests, and several government ministers and MKs are on their way to support the soldiers against police
In essence, soldiers are in open rebellion for the right to rape prisoners, and more and more coalition politicians are joining them - from Likud, Jewish Power, and more
Context: Sde Teiman has been acting as a torture camp for months. The testimonies of inmates, physicians and soldiers who served there are horrifying. What the MP is doing is to try and show minimal levels of enforcement, to fend off ICC/ICJ. Even that is unacceptable to some

🧵This is a terrible day. After waking up from air sirens to a barrage of hundreds of rockets fired on Israeli cities, we have been learning about the massive, unprecedented invasion from Gaza into Israeli towns and cities, and getting reports of many civilians killed, kidnapped
The absolute dread of people who are seeing militants in their streets and homes is unimaginable. Attacks on civilians are war crimes, and my heart goes to the victims and their families, and to all those living in the Western Negev.
As I sit at home in Tel Aviv, fearing for my family and friends, I know that this has also been the reality for Palestinians, especially in Gaza, for decades. One of fear, and being defenseless, and a brutal enemy who has no problem killing civilians, entire families even

🧵זה בוקר מחריד. להתעורר מאזעקות ובומים, לשמוע על ההרוגים, לראות את הסרטונים, ורק לדמיין את האימה של מי שחמאס משוטטים להם ברחובות. מגיעים דיווחים על דברים נוראים. זוועה. כל פגיעה באזרחים היא פשע, בטח בכזה קנה מידה כמו המתקפה הנוכחית מעזה, והלב יוצא אל הקורבנות והמשפחות
מה שאי אפשר להגיד הוא שמדובר בהתקפה משום מקום, שהיא חד צדדית, ללא הקשר. פרשנים כבר שבועות מזהירים מההסלמה הגוברת, משחרור הרסן המוחלט של המתנחלים בהקמת מאחזים ובפוגרומים (ובסוכות של ח"כ סוכות) בגיבוי של הצבא, מהקרבות בתוך הערים הפלסטיניות, סביב הכניסות לקרב יוסף, ופלישות אחרות
יש השנה יותר הרוגים פלסטינים מירי ישראל משהיו בעשרים השנים האחרונות, וגם יותר הרוגים ישראלים משהיו זה שנים רבות.
כל אלה יושבים על מערך קיים של דיכוי אכזרי ומתמשך של ישראל נגד הפלסטינים, במשטר הצבאי בגדה המערבית, ובמצור החונק על עזה, שמונע כל קיום אנושי סביר מ-2 מליון תושבי הרצועה

🧵 The Israeli government is stepping up its steps to deepen apartheid. Over the past two weeks, these include new initiatives (that have not yet been approved) to: double the number of settlers in the WB, outlaw the Palestinian flag and persecute Palestinian students in uni...
severely cripple Israeli human rights organizations, and annex historic sites in the WB.
The government is also supporting the construction of a new settlement on the lands of Burka, although it is deemed illegal even according to Israeli law.
Meanwhile, over the past days settlers have attacked 2 more Palestinian villages, Burka and Ein Samia, unstopped by the army. In the latter, this has led the residents of the village to flee and tear down their own village, as @basel_adra reports here:

🧵 אחרי העברת התקציב הגיע שלב העמקת האפרטהייד, מדיניות-העל של הממשלה הזאת.
רשימה חלקית של דברים שהתחילו לקדם בשבוע האחרון:
תוכניות להכפלת מספר המתנחלים בגדה המערבית, סילוק סטודנטים ערבים פעילים פוליטית מאוניברסיטאות, רדיפת ארגוני זכויות אדם, סיפוח של "אתרי מורשת" בשטחים, ובנייה לא חוקית בהתנחלות חומש בעידוד הממשלה.
בשבוע שעבר עברה בטרומית גם הצעת החוק לאסור כליל על הנפת דגל פלסטין, כחלק מהמאמץ הרחב יותר למחוק את הזהות הלאומית השנייה שקיימת כאן לצד זו היהודית.

🧵 Over the past 24 hours, many have been commenting on why I and other Israelis are outraged by the pogrom settlers committed in Huwara, and don’t mention as much about the killing of the two Israeli settlers, the brothers, earlier that day. Here are a few thoughts on that:
1. Yes, it is tragic that people are killed. Certainly in the case of young brothers. If it is not clear to anyone - it ought to be. My heart goes out to the parents who lost two children in one fell swoop.
2. There is an entire system in place designed to handle such killings. An army and Shin Bet and a whole state built to protect Jews. Palestinians, on the other hand, have no one to protect them. The army is either silent in the face of settler violence or joins it, backs it up
