The West Bank is burning.
It’s what we get as the international community has done nothing of substance to create accountability for Israeli settler – hence, state – violence.
In case you social media feed is not filled with images from pogroms all over the West Bank, here’s an example of what it looks.
Though settler violence has been on the rise for years, what we’re seeing now, after two israeli soldiers were killed in a town called Tell, near Nablus, two days ago, might be the beginning of a scale of violence truly unprecedented. They soldiers were killed when a member of the Ramadan family – four people of which were murdered – took the gun from the armed settlers and soldiers, quite clearly trying to protect his family.
Here’s my video of what we have to remember and reiterate to those who might be repeating Israeli state propaganda these days.
This video is the 30th episode of the sixth season of my (video) podcast. I will take a symbolic break now to demarcate the seasons, and I invite you to support my project if you have been finding value in my completely independent one-woman project.
As always, stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.

It reveals so much of what we have been seeing: one’s unwillingness to bring full accountability to the Israeli regime.
On Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya And The BBC’s Irresistible Desire to Quote Israel
We’ve had enough of the propaganda of the occupier being repeated by the legacy media. And when it still gives airtime to unsubstantiated claims by the Israeli government regarding Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya even as his life is at risk, we should be enraged.
How to Make (No) Sense of The New Lebanese Agreement with Israel
As the Lebanese government signs an agreement with Israel, seemingly disregarding the leverage Iran is currently granting them, what does this all mean? What does it mean for Hezbollah, Lebanese resistance, and the future of the country itself?
