Only in Israel you can murder someone on camera and go home. In any other country these so called "settlers" would be rightfully labelled "terrorists".

Activist [Awdah Hathaleen*] Who Helped Film “No Other Land” Shot and Killed by Israeli Settler | Truthout (2025-07-28)

*) His name romanized also “Odeh Hadalin”; in Arabic عودة هدالين.

>> “... My dear friend Awdah was slaughtered this evening. He was standing in front of the community center in his village when a settler fired a bullet that pierced his chest and took his life. This is how Israel erases us — one life at a time,” said Basel Adra, activist and Palestinian co-director of #NoOtherLand.

>> [Israeli co-filmmaker Yuval] Abraham said that local residents identified Hathaleen’s killer as Yinon Levi, who lives in an illegal Israeli settlement in the occupied #WestBank. Levi was sanctioned … under the Biden administration in April 2024, ...

>> President Donald Trump lifted the U.S. sanction on Levi and other Israeli settlers and settler groups on his first day in office this January.

Israel’s top human rights group B’Tselem has finally declared that Israel is committing genocide, as has the Israel-based Physicians for Human Rights. The Israeli organizations join Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, UN human rights experts, and the overwhelming majority of leading authorities on the subject of genocide in their conclusion.

The debate is over. The Israel apologists lost. And we are seeing this reflected in mainstream discourse. Pop megastar Ariana Grande has started speaking out in support of Gaza, telling her social media followers that “starving people to death is a red line.” This is a new threshold. Opposing Israel’s genocide is now the most mainstream as it has ever been.

We’re now seeing notoriously Zionist swamp monsters in the Democratic Party like Barack Obama, Hakeem Jeffries, Cory Booker and Amy Klobuchar changing their tune and attacking Netanyahu and Trump for their joint genocide project in Gaza, with increasingly forceful pushback from some on the right like Marjorie Taylor Greene as well.

As western pundits, politicians and celebrities suddenly pivot to denouncing Israel’s genocidal atrocities after two years of silence, it’s hard to believe that just a few weeks ago we were being told that saying “death to the IDF” is a hate crime.

People who’ve been staring at this genocide from the beginning have been asking the entire time, what is it going to take? What will it take for our society to stop sleepwalking through inane trivialities and vapid distractions and start opposing the holocaust of our day?

  • Raining military explosives on a giant concentration camp packed full of children wasn’t enough.

  • Burning children alive wasn’t enough.

  • Systematically destroying Gaza’s entire healthcare infrastructure — up to and including entering hospitals they’ve attacked and destroying individual pieces of medical equipment one by one — wasn’t enough.

  • Killing more journalists than were killed in both World Wars plus the US Civil War, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Yugoslav Wars, the War in Afghanistan, and the ongoing war in Ukraine wasn’t enough.

  • The systemic rape and torture of prisoners wasn’t enough.

I’m glad people are waking up to the cruel reality of this nightmare. I’m grateful to each and every influential voice who uses their platform to speak out, even at this late date. I truly am.

But I also think we need to take a very hard, very uncomfortable look at ourselves as a society right now. If all those monstrous abuses were tolerable for us over these last two years, there’s something deeply and profoundly sick about our civilization.

The way things are clearly isn’t working. The mainstream worldview is clearly a lie. Everything we’ve been taught to believe about our society, our nation, our government and our world was clearly false.

We need to fight our way through the cognitive dissonance of recognizing that our entire way of looking at things as a collective has failed, and we need to find a new way of being.

Otherwise we’re going to keep being smashed in the face with increasingly horrifying reminders of what we have allowed ourselves to become.

The lessons will repeat until they are learned.

Activist Who Helped Film “No Other Land” Shot and Killed by Israeli Settler

“Israeli settlers have murdered our beloved hero, Awdah Hathaleen, from the Um Al-Khair community in Masafer Yatta,” Amro wrote on social media. “Awdah stood with dignity and courage against oppression. His loss is a deep wound to our hearts and our struggle for justice. May he rest in peace. We will never forget him.”

Commission pushes to partially suspend Israel from EU research fund – POLITICO (2025-07-28)

https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-research-fund-european-commission-horizon-europe-israel-gaza-genocide/
———

>> The European Commission wants to partially suspend Israel from participating in its flagship research and development program, Horizon Europe.

>> The proposed suspension follows the EU's review of its association agreement with Israel, which opens up advantageous bilateral relations. In June the review found Israel in breach of its human rights obligations under the deal, with EU foreign ministers slated to discuss potential consequences during a meeting next month …

>> Israeli universities and researchers funded through the more traditional Horizon Europe programs would be unaffected.

>> The decision still needs backing from a qualified majority of #EU countries. 🤔

>> … Since the State of Israel was established, the #apartheid and occupation regime has institutionalized and systematically employed mechanisms of violent control, demographic engineering, discrimination, and fragmentation of the Palestinian collective. These foundations laid by the regime are what made it possible to launch a genocidal attack on the Palestinians immediately after the Hamas-led attack on 7 October 2023.

>> The assault on Palestinians in Gaza cannot be separated from the escalating violence being inflicted, … on Palestinians living under Israeli rule in the West Bank and within Israel. The violence and destruction in these areas is intensifying over time, with no effective domestic or international mechanism acting to halt them…

‘Total Failure’: Israel’s Return to War Heaped Ruin on Gaza and Did Little for Israelis

#Israel ended a truce in Gaza in March, hoping to break #Hamas. The move has heightened suffering for #Palestinians but achieved few, if any, #Israeli goals.

Then the resumption of war felt as if someone had “shut off the last source of life,” said Karam Rabah, a civil servant in central #Gaza. “We thought we’d survived the worst, then it got even worse.”

The truce ...had brought some respite, said Mr. Rabah, who is paid by the #WestBank-based PA. “Children went back to some kind of learning, families returned to their homes,” he said. Then the fighting restarted, and “homes that had survived were suddenly gone, and even food became scarce,” he added. “I never thought that I would fight for a kilogram of flour for my kids.”

Meet the ‘Rulers of Starvation’ — Arab leaders whose silence and complicity have helped tighten the siege on Gaza, starving their own brothers while shaking hands with the occupier.

As a Palestinian in Gaza, I can’t imagine a hopeful future, even if a ceasefire is announced soon. What lies ahead feels even more terrifying than what we’ve already endured, not only because of the vast destruction but because our genocide has become background noise to “peace talks.”

After 21 months of slaughter, in which more than 59,000 Palestinians have been killed, Arab governments appear to still be moving toward normalizing relations with Israel. It is hard to believe that Israel is being rewarded after ruining our lives, instead of being held accountable.

This feels like a betrayal.

Genocide in Gaza (Physicians for Human Rights Israel, 2025-07-28)

https://www.phr.org.il/en/genocide-in-gaza-eng/
------

>> On October 13, 2023, the Israeli military ordered the evacuation of 22 hospitals in Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip. That day marked the start of an unprecedented assault on Gaza’s health system. Over the past 22 months, Israel has systematically targeted medical infrastructure across the Gaza Strip, attacking 33 of 36 of Gaza’s hospitals and clinics depriving them of fuel and water. More than 1800 of Gaza’s medical staff have been killed or detained.

>> Today, #PHRI is releasing a position paper that documents this assault for what it is: a deliberate, cumulative dismantling of Gaza’s health system, and with it, its people’s ability to survive. This amounts to genocide...
