@zvinj […] [translation] Israeli settlers, under the protection of Israeli occupation forces, began fencing off Palestinian-owned lands in the eastern area of al-Mughayyir al-Sharqiyya (northeast of Ramallah). Armed settlers entered the area, grazed their livestock on Palestinian agricultural land, and then started erecting fences to impose a new reality on the ground. Israeli forces were present and provided protection to the settlers during these actions.

Zoha is reporting that Israeli settlers carried out multiple attacks across the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem over the weekend, injuring Palestinians, damaging property, and seizing land with military protection, while #UNRWA’s commissioner warned of escalating violence and Israeli efforts to dismantle the agency.

Anti-War Activism / We Refuse: Saying No to the Army in Israel [French]

A new book titled "Nous refusons. Dire non à l'armée en Israël" (We Refuse: Saying No to the Army in Israel) has been published by #Libertalia m.

It is a collection of testimonies and photographs of Israeli war and occupation resisters. The book is a follow-up to a previous work by Martin Barzilai, "Refuzniks," published in 2017, and includes personal stories of Israeli activists explaining their reasons for refusing military service.

The introduction was written by French-Israeli filmmaker Eyal Sivan.

We Refuse: Saying No to the Army in Israel

[…] « La chose la pire qui soit en Israël, à part être palestinien, c'est être un traître. » Eviatar Rubin a 22 ans. Quand le photographe Martin Barzilai le rencontre pour la première fois il y a deux ans, l'attaque terroriste du Hamas et la riposte israélienne n'ont pas encore eu lieu.
Le jeune homme, qui vit à Haïfa, est déjà déterminé : pas question de faire son service militaire, pas question de « participer à l'occupation sioniste, à un régime d'apartheid ». Alors il refuse de rejoindre l'armée. Il passera pour cela quatre mois en prison. Puis il retournera à ses activités militantes : manifestations politiques et soutien aux familles palestiniennes expulsées de leur logement.

[…] "The worst thing in Israel, apart from being Palestinian, is being a traitor." Eviatar Rubin is 22 years old. When the photographer Martin Barzilai meets him for the first time two years ago, the Hamas terrorist attack and the Israeli response have not yet taken place. The young man, who lives in Haifa, is already determined: no question of doing his military service, no question of "participating in the Zionist occupation, in an apartheid regime." So he refuses to join the army. He will spend four months in prison for this. Then he will return to his militant activities: political demonstrations and support for Palestinian families evicted from their homes.

[followup]

[…] There we go. Just like last year, groups of Jewish rioters are running rampant in the Muslim Quarter. They are attacking, cursing, and behaving barbarically towards Palestinians, journalists, and "Standing Together" activists.
