Weekly Review – February 15–21, 2026 | Looking the Occupation in the Eye

“When Month of Adar (Purim Festival) begins, joy increases; a monthly summary of the struggle against the Arab enemy in the Holy Land during the month of Shevat: List of villages attacked and number of attacks: Masafer Yatta (7), Duma (5), Mukhmas (5), Jaba (3), Aqraba (3), Sa’ir (3), Qusra (3), Al-Mughayyir (2), Samu (2), Beit Lid, Urif, Hebron, Atara, Asira, Beit Fajjar, Turmus Ayya, Qaddum, Deir Istiya, Ras al-Ain, Wadi al-Haj, Burin, Tel al-Samadi, Taybeh, Ramon, Al-Dik, Ein Samia, Al-Minya, Susya, Tammun, Talfit, Kafr Malik, Sur Baher, Imatin, Osarin.” Thus, without fear and of course without shame, a settlers’ website publishes a summary of the activities of lawbreakers over a 30-day period. There are further details: “Number of vehicles burned: 29; number of homes set on fire: 12; number of Arabs injured: 40; one mosque was torched; in addition, hundreds of windows were smashed, hundreds of olive trees were cut down, and dozens of tires were slashed.” The state of Israel has other matters to attend to: stoking war with Iran, suppressing its opponents, and continuing the Coup d'état. | Editorial | Weekly Summary | Feb 22, 2026
