“Such methods – threatening to withhold services from a Palestinian unless they cooperate with Israeli authorities – violate international law, according to a 1994 report from B’Tselem, which also noted that Israel has forced tens of thousands of Palestinians to work as informants since 1967”
And the State Department ghouls have the audacity to pretend this started on October 7th 🤬👊🏽🥺
Although Gaza still is the most urgent issue, and we cannot turn our eyes from them, there is another grevious situation in the increasing settler violence and land confiscation in the West Bank, aka illegally Occupied Territory. There are some, too few, organizations trying to help, at least up until this most grevious situation in the West Bank, this week, where there is an actual military invasion by Israel, with public officials threatening the same death and destruction as in Gaza.
There are those inside Israel who stand for justice and humanity, made up of committed Israelis and Palestinians working together to protect the Palestinians.

There must be an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Pope Francis has said what is needed, now he must do what is needed by going to Gaza and standing for peace, justice and freedom.
Let us make our donations to honor Aaron Bushnell, in memory of Hind Rajab, or Dr Jumann Afra, the mother of newborn twins killed by Israel using US bombs.
I'm uninformed on this and may have some unwarranted bias... but does Palestine really not enforce laws targeting LGBTQ individuals? Is it just social shame that makes this tactic so effective or is being gay in Gaza as dangerous as being an informant?
Thanks for exposing yet another level of cruelty by Israel.
It may be an unanswerable question, but how many levels of Israeli cruelty are there?
They're indefatigable in their search for new ones.
