Rising rightwing in Israel is using violent provocation in West Bank to push annexation
Abbas’s threat to turn over the keys to the West Bank to Netanyahu after the Israeli elections reveals the growing power of the religious right in Israeli politics, and in the life of Palestinians on the West Bank
Do not let settlers expel us from our home in Sheikh Jarrah
Ayoub Shamasneh appeals for international solidarity as his family faces eviction from the home they have lived in since 1964. He writes: “Now more than ever we are aware of the double standard of the Israeli law that does not lend Palestinian refugees or their children a claim to property they owned before 1948, yet allows children of Jewish Israelis to sue and evict Palestinian families from homes they have lived in for decades.”

As long as Israel continues to flout international law, millions of Palestinian refugees will remain captive in regional struggles that use them as political fodder or see them as a demographic problem, or even worse, a threat.

Living under drones in Gaza
Israeli drones in Gaza now carry out “warning attacks” in which they partially destroy a building to warn occupants to evacuate within three minutes. Terrifying
Israeli prediction of third intifada follows days of provocation in Hebron
The killing of a 17-year-old in Hebron was merely one incident in days of incursions and provocations by Israeli officials in and around Hebron. Israel would likely prefer a violent intifada to the process Palestine initiated last month at the U.N.

Gaza, the stories that come after
We asked Maysa whether her family considered leaving their house earlier, since this Prime Minister’s building adjacent to theirs was obviously one of Israel’s targets. Maysa’s answer was not shocking at all, “Where do they expect us to go? The only place we could go to is my grandparents’ in Rafah, but it wasn’t any safer.”

Palestinians in Israel have used the contradiction between Zionism and democracy to reconstruct their national project

I want to return! (whether Facebook cares or not)
isdud
Everyone can probably imagine how it hurts when you want to tell the world what is your hometown and someone comes along telling you, “Sorry it is not yours..!” I felt like my heart was on fire when my sister and I wanted to add our hometown to our Facebook profile and there was no option called “Ashdod, Palestine” but instead “Ashdod, Israel”.

Exile and the Prophetic: An acknowledged future
It’s upsetting for many Jews that the suffering we’re causing now takes precedence over our own historic suffering. It’s even more difficult for many Jews to face the fact that solidarity with the Palestinian struggle is the key to solidarity with the deepest reaches of Jewish history. Regardless, this is where we’ve arrived.
