We are being slaughtered with a rusty knife

While houses are built in the occupied West Bank as a 'punishment' to the Palestinian people, the Israeli occupation forces continue to also abuse Palestinians in more direct ways. In Nabi Samuel, a village under siege, every hut or building constructed are soon destroyed. Residents who dare to protest are beaten and humiliated. An important report by Aya Kaniuk and Tamar Goldschmidt, who tirelessly and with courage continue in bringing to our attention what we might not want to know. The banality of the occupation. »

JNF in the Jordan Valley: Colonization Now

In the Jordan Valley, colonization is based on the exploitation of scarce resources, such as water, for the benefit of the settlements specializing in export agriculture. For several years the area was cut off from the rest of the West Bank, and currently Palestinian communities holding on to their land are under threat of deportation.

Gerardo Leibner analyzes the composition of the Israeli "peace camp" and shows how interests of privileged groups within it lead to conservatism and stagnation: "To really have peace, to enable Israelis and Palestinians to make peace between them, we need a deep sociological change, we need de-colonization, to stop theft and dispossession, both physical and cultural. That's why we're trying to build a liberation movement before it is even possible to talk about a peace movement." »

Stop the killing! Stop the siege! Stop the attack on Gaza!

All of Israel’s military might – the aircrafts, the bulldozers, the "smart bombs" – will be to no avail. They would not make the Palestinians disappear, nor make them accept life under occupation.
