#Israel at 78 still believes it can live by the sword alone. A reckoning is due
On the country's Independence Day, the nostalgia of liberal Israelis for a better, earlier state is a comforting illusion. The Nakba and the occupation were there from the beginning

At the beginning of this state was the Nakba: our day of celebration was the day of another people's historic catastrophe, a people who were here before us. Everything since has been bound up with what came before. What began in 1948 has not ended, not even in 2026.

From the Nakba to today, the basic principles by which #Zionism operates have not changed, nor has the policy of successive governments of the #Jewish state. The #Nakba has never ended; it has merely altered in form.

According to a media group, the #activists used ladders to climb over razor-wire fencing to enter the premises.

After occupying the roof, they drilled holes into it and then abseiled into the building.

The Aftershock reported that the ceiling of the clean room, where Israeli #drone parts are reportedly made, was broken. It said that such contamination of the clean room could knock it out of use for some months.

One of the activists involved said: “We are sick and tired of our government’s collaboration in this #genocide that #Israel is committing on the #Palestinian people."

"Charles Secrett, who spent a decade leading Friends of the Earth in the UK, said: “Orwell warned that the first step towards tyranny is the abuse and misuse of language by an authoritarian government. Labour’s perverted interpretation of the word ‘terrorist’ in designating Palestine Action and its supporters as terrorists is a case in point."

#Israel soldiers using sexual assault to force Palestinians out of West Bank, report says
Experts say attacks, also carried out by settlers, are leading girls to quit school and enter early marriages

#Palestinian #women, men and children have reported attacks, forced nudity, invasive and painful body cavity searches, #Israelis exposing their genitals, including to minors, and threats of sexual violence.

16 cases of conflict-related #SexualViolence were recorded by researchers for the #WestBank Protection Consortium over the last 3 years, a figure that is likely an under-reporting because of the shame and stigma faced by survivors.

“Sexualised violence is used to pressure communities, shape decisions about remaining or leaving their homes and land, and alter patterns of daily life,” the group of international humanitarian organisations said in a report.

Rabbi who boasts of bulldozing Palestinian homes will light torch for #Israel’s national day
Human rights campaigners say honour for Avraham Zarbiv endorses ethnic cleansing and war crimes

#AvrahamZarbiv is one of 14 people chosen for their “extraordinary contribution to society and the state”, alongside a scientist, a Michelin-starred chef, a leading doctor, members of the security forces and entrepreneurs.

A reservist who drives an armoured bulldozer, Zarbiv rose to prominence through videos documenting his personal campaign of destruction in #Gaza, often accompanied by inflammatory rhetoric.

“You will have nothing left,” he declares in one voiceover, as the camera pans across a landscape of shattered buildings. “We will flatten you and destroy you.”
