This isn't about a few 'bad apples.' Israel is annexing the West Bank

We were planning to visit the village of Ras ‘Ein al-’Auja in the northern West Bank. But three weeks before the trip, all 700 residents of the village fled due to violence from nearby settlers. When we drove through the ruined remains of the village, we saw groups of Israeli settlers having a picnic.

We were able to visit the village Fasa’il al-Wusta in the Jordan Valley. When we visited, six out of eight families had fled. Two weeks later, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) demolished the home of the family we visited. Now only one of those families is left.

"In January 2027, due to the reduction of mandatory service to 30 months, the #IDF [#Israel's army] will lose thousands more combat soldiers," Zamir told the committee.

"The reserve army will collapse into itself," he added, according to i24news.

Zamir warned MPs that after nearly three years of war on multiple fronts, the #military is facing a severe manpower shortage that could undermine future operations.

The Silence That Meets the Rape of Palestinians
Male and female Palestinians describe brutal sexual abuse at the hands of Israel’s prison guards, soldiers, settlers and interrogators.

There is no evidence that #Israeli leaders order #rapes. But in recent years they have built a security apparatus where #SexualViolence has become, as a #UN report put it last year, one of #Israel’s “standard operating procedures” and “a major element in the ill treatment of #Palestinians.” A report out last month, from the Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, a Geneva-based advocacy group often critical of Israel, concludes that Israel employs “systematic sexual violence” that is “widely practiced as part of an organized state policy.”

Gaza and the #WestBank: Dispatches from Catastrophe (II)
https://world-outlook.com/2026/05/01/gaza-and-the-west-bank-dispatches-from-catastrophe-ii/

[2 of 2 parts of a dispatch from #JewishCurrents, with an intro by #WorldOutlook]
May 1, 2026

“The resulting testimonies are difficult to read,” says the introduction to these stories. “They show the effects of years of industrialized, live-broadcast massacres and colonization, particularly in #Gaza, where more than 10% of the population is estimated to have been killed or injured in the last two years. The Gaza dispatches are a portal to a place where dystopian science fiction — the exporting of killing to artificial intelligence and robots, the shooting of children lining up for food aid, the crushing of people under air-dropped food parcels — has become reality.”

Pro-Palestine activists appear in court over attack on Israeli arms factory in Germany
Families say ‘Ulm 5’ have been detained under extreme prison conditions since arrest last September
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/apr/27/pro-palestine-activists-face-trial-attack-israel-arms-factory-germany

Five pro-#Palestinian activists have appeared in court over an attack on an #Israeli arms company in #Germany, charged with causing approximately €1m of damage.

Prosecutors say the defendants, aged 25 to 40, trespassed and yelled pro-Palestinian statements as they destroyed office equipment, sensitive measuring devices and smashed windows at a site linked to #ElbitSystems in the southern city of Ulm.

The activists published videos online in which they claimed responsibility for the attack, which they said was aimed at drawing attention to Germany’s support for #Israel and its #military actions in #Gaza.
