A voter was interviewed on Israeli news, along with two first-time voters, about what led them to choose who to vote for. One of them said that his main issue was that "I don't want there to be Arabs here in the country." The reporter nodded enthusiastically. Say hello to the next generation of Israeli voter.

Israeli government TV admits that its operation in Hebron, which has involved the ethnic cleansing of entire neighborhoods, has unearthed no arms. Despite lies that Hebron was full of terrorists, only one rifle and one pistol were found in a search of hundreds of homes. The people of Hebron are peaceful, and even the IDF admits this operation is pointless and needs to end.

Watch this.
Lubna Speitan, author of the Greens4Palestine motion “Zionism is racism”, spells out the central obscenity of our age – the grotesque inversion whereby the victims of ethnic cleansing, Apartheid and genocide must constantly fend off accusations from their tormentors that it is they who are the racists.
“We as Palestinians are being silenced and gaslit and vilified [as we] witness the annihilation, the cold-blooded murder of our families, of our people… our children burnt with phosphorus, having to endure amputations with no anaesthetic, having their limbs torn and shredded, their bodies burnt by phosphorus, being starved to death … And to have to sit here … and try to bury my feelings so I can eloquently and diplomatically shield my anger, my rage, my anguish that every Palestinian is feeling, is an insult.” /1

The most immoral army continues to slaughter children. Nearly daily.
UN bodies and human rights groups have documented the pattern in detail. Anyone who denies it should read these reports.
We keep receipts and there will be accountability.

Just listen to this.
Then consider these polls:
76% of Jewish Israelis think there are no innocents in Gaza (Aug 2025)
82% support expelling Palestinians from Gaza (May 2025)
47% support killing all inhabitants of conquered enemy cities (May 2025)

"Carpet bomb them all".
Speaking to The Guardian at an event ahead of Israel’s elections, a young Israeli woman called for Palestinians to be forcibly displaced from the Gaza Strip, saying they should be killed if they cannot be removed.

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump and his family have lost surprise elections, thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Israel is ethnically cleansing Hebron.
דיברתי עכשיו עם חברים פלסטינים מחברון, אלפי פלסטינים פונו מבתיהם מהרגע להרגע לא כי הם עשו משהו, לא כי הם יודעים משהו, לא כי הם הביעו תמיכה במפגעים. רק בגלל שם שכנים של שני פלסטינים שהרגו שני חיילים שלנו.
זאת עזפיקציה של הגדה המערבית, ממשלת ישראל יודעת שלהרוס את הבתים של לפחות 2,000 פלסטינים חפים מפשע זה לא מביא ביטחון.
אבל זה כן מביא את תחושת הנקם שהמתנחלים מתענגים עליה בריקוד שלהם על דם החיילים הצעירים שאיבדו את חייהם.
המתנחלים רוצים דם אלימות ואפרטהייד אנחנו רוצים חיים ושלום בין העמים. גם ובעיקר על זה הבחירות

1) Targeting occupation soldiers on occupied land is not terrorism by any definition
2) In response, Israel is destroying homes of completely unrelated people, a war crime according to international law

A young blonde woman with an American accent in Israel says that all the Arabs must be kicked out of Gaza because it is "our land" since "God commanded us to take it."
The Palestinians should be kicked out to any other Arab state, she continues, except Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, "because they are ours."
"Or we will kill them," she adds
Can we stop pretending that this is a marginal view in Israel? That these are the comments of a fringe minority?
They are not. Israel has been on this path for quite some time.
Western governments know it fully - yet they continue to fund and enable Israel's genocidal policies.

The Israeli army opened the iron gate in the West Bank to let an Israeli settler pass, then shut it again, leaving Palestinians stranded.
One group is allowed through while another is not. What do you call a system like that?

Gaza 2.0 is coming. Palestinians have every right to do whatever they can to defend themselves. The world has blood on their hands.
Netanyahu has vowed to launch a major operation in the West Bank following a shooting in Hebron in which two Palestinians killed two Israeli soldiers and injured three other Israelis. According to Netanyahu, the operation would be similar to “Iron Wall,” the ongoing military operation in refugee camps that has displaced 33,000 Palestinians from their homes, with those displaced still barred from returning.
Iron Wall has led to what the UN describes as “the longest and largest displacement crisis in the West Bank since 1967.” The IDF has demolished entire residential blocks and streets. According to satellite imagery, 52% of buildings in the Jenin refugee camp have been destroyed or damaged, along with 55% in Nur Shams and 37% in Tulkarm.
The mass demolitions were stark examples of the West Bank’s Gazafication. Now, Netanyahu is effectively vowing to expand the use of these devastating tactics, which he called successful, even further. This is happening ahead of Israel’s Knesset elections on October 27.
As insane as it sounds, this is what an election campaign can look like under occupation.
