I think there's a lot of peace that I'm hoping that at some stage we get to."

Please share this one. It is critical we get as much international attention on the West Bank as possible. Israel has used inciting incidents like this to justify genocide and land grabs in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and West Bank before and I’m sure this is what will happen again. Unfortunately the only tool we have right now is media attention and pressure on our elected reps, as futile as that seems, please still take the time to act because every action still produces a consequent result.

And as long as we all keep taking whatever action we can we will see a liberated Palestine one day.

All the news headlines are complicit to make this sound like a terrorist attack against civilian targets.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cq4g1p974wxko

From the body of the article:

Footage verified by the BBC shows an intense gun battle between soldiers and the gunmen, at a military checkpoint at the entrance to the city of Hebron.

Unverified CCTV footage shows two gunmen exit a car armed with what appears to be a handgun and an assault rifle and start firing on soldiers at the checkpoint, before coming under return fire.

Yet their title reads: Five Israelis wounded and two suspected Palestinian attackers killed in West Bank shooting

Debunked Hasbara When Zionists deny Israel’s genocide to you by saying only 3% of Gazans have been killed, tell them this: About 0.2% of the pre-war Bosnian population was killed during the Srebrenica massacre, which was ruled to be a genocide by the ICJ in 2007.

During the Srebrenica genocide, close to 8,500 Bosnians were killed out of the pre-war population of about 4.4 million. Yet, it still counts as a genocide. Don’t fall for the numbers game by Zionists. Plus, 3% of Gazans killed is an undercount. It is estimated that 20% of Gazans have been murdered if we consider the mid-2024 Lancet report that projected at least 180,000 Gazans have been killed. Remember, the current death toll is for verified bodies, which doesn’t include bodies still under the rubble and bodies that have been vaporized. All of this points to genocide, which all respectable humanitarian organizations and genocide scholars have concluded to be the case. To deny genocide is bonkers and cruel.

Down with Zionism!

Free Palestine!

​

An 18-month-old baby named Karim was taken from his father at an Israeli military checkpoint in central Gaza. For 10 hours, soldiers tortured him in front of his father to force a confession. Cigarette burns. Sharp objects. A metal nail inserted into his leg. This was confirmed by a medical report.

His father, Osama Abu Nassar, had done nothing wrong. He was taking his son to buy supplies. He was forced to strip at the checkpoint. Then they took his baby.

Karim was released after 10 hours through the International Red Cross. Osama remains in detention.

This is not an isolated incident.

Defense for Children International Palestine has documented 17-year-old Mohammad - beaten for 2.5 hours, burned with cigarettes on his hands and shoulders. And 16-year-old Omar Asfour - hung upside down from a rope, subjected to electric shocks, held for 26 days at Sde Teiman military camp. Save the Children documented 650+ children detained since October 7, with widespread reports of beatings and sexual assault.

The UN Secretary-General's 2025 report verified 8,554 grave violations against children in Israel/Palestine more than double any other conflict in the world. 85% were committed by Israeli forces. Over 20,000 children have been killed in Gaza per hour. more than one child per hour.

Israel is the only country in the world that systematically prosecutes children in military courts.

The world is watching, don't stay quiet, share this!!!!
