Human Rights Watch:

West Bank: Israel Responsible for Rising Settler Violence
Entire Palestinian Communities Displaced Months After Attacks

(Jerusalem) – The Israeli military either took part in or did not protect Palestinians from violent settler attacks in the West Bank that have displaced people from 20 communities and have entirely uprooted at least 7 communities since October 7, 2023, Human Rights Watch said today.

Israeli settlers have assaulted, tortured, and committed sexual violence against Palestinians, stolen their belongings and livestock, threatened to kill them if they did not leave permanently, and destroyed their homes and schools under the cover of the ongoing hostilities in Gaza. Many Palestinians, including entire communities, have fled their homes and lands. The military has not assured displaced residents that it will protect their security or allow them to return, forcing them to live in precarious conditions elsewhere.

“Settlers and soldiers have displaced entire Palestinian communities, destroying every home, with the apparent backing of higher Israeli authorities,” said Bill Van Esveld, associate children’s rights director at Human Rights Watch. “While the attention of the world is focused on Gaza, abuses in the West Bank, fueled by decades of impunity and complacency among Israel’s allies, are soaring.” (...)

They found 190 bodies in mass graves at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis.

The number is likely to increase significantly in the next few days.
 
What an absolute cnut, just like the rest of the IDF and Zionist supporters.
 
5% (official) of the entire Gazan population either killed or injured. Likely higher because delays in counting the dead and obstacles there. If/when they go into Rafah, I don't see how this isn't just reported as genocide.

Big shocker. The countries who bought it and cut funding, essentially damning people to disease and starvation, should be ashamed of themselves.

Nothing new and many, many independent journalistic sources (bless them) pointed to it the minute the freedom merchants' decision was known.

The timing of the UNRWA torpedoing, which happened on the exact same day the ICJ ruled for a plausible case of genocide against Israel, tells you everything you need you need to know.

Such a coordinated action could never have been carried out in a matter of hours. This was planned in advance, in case Israel doesn't get it its way, and all the double-faced war criminals who signed on it should be tried before the Hague (not that it'll ever happen). You've been witnessing Western supported crimes against humanity live for the past six months, UNRWA being one episode among many.
 
There was a bipartisan bill (with all Senate Democrats voting for) which banned UNRWA funding for another year :)
Maximum opposition came from hard-right Republicans.
 


Israeli occupation forces continue to attack the schools and residents, forcing them to evacuate. They are arresting young and old people, forcing women to remove their hijabs, confiscating lands, and destroying homes. Today, they are continuing with shelling, incursions, and heavy gunfire without any warnings. What Beit Hanoun is going through is a genocide of all forms of life. The occupation sends messages to the residents that there is no return for them to Beit Hanoun. Theirs a clear message they are trying to empty the city of any residents.
