"‘The night guards’: Inside the grassroots network fighting back against Israeli settler attacks
Meet the grassroots network of Palestinian volunteers who spend their nights defending their West Bank villages from escalating Israeli settler violence.

Under the midnight moon atop the mountain in the town of Sinjil, residents carry flashlights, signaling to the hills across the valley. The beams, along with the lights surrounding a small watch tent, usually used as decoration for Ramadan, serve as an early warning system. The signal that the village is awake and watching.

“Do you see that light?” one of the young men asks quietly, pointing toward a flicker across the opposite hill. I nod. For a moment, no one speaks. The wind is sharp at this height, and below us, the village is completely dark.

“That means they’re there,” he says. “Watching, like us.”"

Sa-Nur, West Bank
Israeli settlers and soldiers attend a celebration on the day of the re-establishment of the settlement of Sa-Nur, which was evacuated as part of Israel’s 2005 disengagement. Israeli soldiers and settlers are using gendered violence and sexual assault and harassment to force Palestinians from their homes in the occupied West Bank, human rights and legal experts said this week.

An interview with Molly Crabapple. Her most recent book is "Here Where We Live is Our Country: The Story of the Jewish Bund". She notably explains "hereness" and evokes the history of the Bund (or General Jewish Labour Bund, Yiddish: דער בונד), a socialist party founded in the Russian Empire (primarily Lithuania, Poland, and Russia).

"Palestinian Resistance Committees: Settler Gangs' Crimes in Al-Mughayyir Continuation of Fascist Crimes

The Palestinian Resistance Committees condemned on Wednesday the brutal and bloody crimes perpetrated by Zionist settler gangs in the village of Al-Mughayyir in the occupied West Bank, which targeted a school and its surroundings. They described these crimes as a continuation of the series of fascist crimes committed by the Zionist criminal regime.

In a press statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the Committees stated that the martyrdom of several Palestinians in Al-Mughayyir, resulting from settler attacks and crimes carried out with the support and protection of the Zionist army, reveals the height of savagery, fascism, and criminality within the bloodthirsty Zionist society, this society is founded on murder, massacres, genocide, and ethnic cleansing, all aimed at uprooting Palestinians from their land."
