Europeans who converted to Judaism in recent history and without any cultural or genetic connection with Palestine descended in illegal hordes of migrants on the country of Palestine at the turn of the 19th-20th century, then administered by the English imperial colonial crooks in a fiduciary capacity. Which means that the Palestinians were asked by the League of Nations (the UN at the time) to TRUST the English as they began rebuilding their country after the end of the Turkish occupation in 1918. But the English decided to sell Palestine for lots of money to the colonial-minded European Jewish bankers, a.k.a. the Zionists, who dreamed of a Jewish colony in Palestine.
These illegal migrants, sophisticated and wealthy Europeans, that were heavily armed by the English, began a campaign of terror against the indigenous Palestinians to force them out of their ancestral cities, towns, villages and homes. Within two decades (1920s-1940s), hundreds of thousands of indigenous Palestinians were forced out of their native villages into refugee camps, both inside Palestine and in the neighboring countries of Syria, Lebanon and Jordan, while hundreds of thousands of European settlers killed, stole, raped and confiscated the land abandoned by the refugees to create their brand new synthetic Zionist colony in Palestine. From 5,000 Jews (only pilgrims) to 600,000 Palestinians in 1910, the population stands today at 5 million Palestinians (not counting the millions of refugees scattered around) and 5 million Zionists who are well-armed and funded by American government and Evangelical largesse.
In gradual increments since that time, the Zionists never ceased their campaign of terror. They merely adjusted their barbarity to the prevailing political conditions, in bouts of relative calm alternating with episodes of terrorism against those Palestinians who stayed on the land and who tried to fight off the rape of their country. The ups and downs in the Zionist terror campaign do not change the trajectory of the campaign and its ultimate objective: More ethnic cleansing, more displacement, more killings, more home demolitions, more villages eliminated from the maps... turning historic Palestine into a brand new artificial state called Israel.
As we write these lines, thousands of foreign Jewish settlers are attacking Palestinian villages, burning crops, demolishing homes, killing villagers, and stealing land.
No one seems to notice. Not the Europeans. Not the American servants of the Zionists. And worst of all, the Arabs who seem to have agreed to join in the gang rape of Palestine. As the Zionists are now praying inside Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, which they want demolished and replaced by a Third Jewish Temple (after the first one was destroyed by the Babylonians and the second one by the Romans thousands of years ago), one wonders how can barbarity and religious fanaticism have such a long half life.
To carry grudges for thousands of years, and to mass-murder innocent populations because of some fantasy mythology written on parchments from the Stone and Bronze ages, is beyond barbarity. It is deliberate hatred, cruelty and atrocity. And yet, this is the 21st century when humans have gone to the moon, have deciphered their own DNA, and are radically transforming the species itself.
Fundamentalist Jews and fundamentalist Muslims share the same outlook of hiding their criminality and barbarity behind fictional texts some filthy disgusting nomads in the Arabian Peninsula recited and wrote, and which are now taken as the word of a man-invented god who hovers like a zombie up in the clouds. The Christians, the third monotheistic cult, have just begun to divorce themselves from that barbarity (separation of religion and state), although some still wax nostalgic like Donald Dump's Evangelical criminals who advocate the genocide of the Palestinians by the Zionists because, as they say, "they want to see the coming of the fucking fictional Messiah".

Israeli settlers besiege three Palestinian families in West Bank’s Qusra

Israeli settlers have besieged three Palestinian families inside their homes in the occupied West Bank, cutting off water and electricity in a campaign residents described as an attempt to steal their land.
Security camera footage from the village of Qusra, south of Nablus, on Wednesday shows Israeli settlers surrounding one of the houses.
Trapped residents said Israeli soldiers had failed to disperse the settlers despite intervening earlier in the day.
Aisha Abu Rida, one of the residents under siege, told Al Jazeera that the siege began on Sunday, with settlers blocking all entrances to her home.
"We are surrounded by settlers, but we are steadfast, God willing. We will not leave our home, no matter what happens. Despite the water and electricity being cut off, we will remain steadfast," she said.
"Despite their repeated attacks, which are aimed at displacing us, God willing, we will remain steadfast and stay in our homes, even if we are martyred," she added.
'Living in fear'
Loai Ridi, an American-Palestinian who owns a house in the village, said his brother Qusai Abu Rida and 18-year-old nephew, Ahmed, were among those trapped.
Speaking to Al Jazeera from Toledo, in the United States, he said the family was relying on a temporary solar power system and leftover well water from the winter after supply lines were cut.
"He [Qusai Abu Rida] does not want to leave the home. Because if he leaves the home, the settlers will take over immediately," Ridi said. "It's really very, very difficult. He just told me, 'I only have supplies for two to three days left. And if no one is able to provide us with food, I am not sure what else I can do'."
Ridi said Israeli forces had done little to intervene when his brother had called for help on Sunday, and alleged the soldiers had knelt to pray alongside the settlers at the scene, in footage that has since circulated on social media.
"They basically did nothing," he said.
Earlier on Wednesday, more Israeli forces arrived on the scene, dismantled the settlers' tent and clashed with about 50 to 60 of the group before withdrawing. "They were unable to evacuate the settlers because they were not firm with them," Ridi said. "They should have picked them up in vans and taken them away."
The Israeli military said later on Wednesday that it would deploy an additional infantry battalion to the area, with its chief of general staff ordering continued efforts "to strengthen order and operational control" and prevent further incidents.
A day earlier, the Israeli military had said it received reports of settlers entering and seizing Palestinian homes and land in the area, describing the activity as "illegal, reprehensible and unacceptable" and disruptive to residents' daily lives. It added that disciplinary action would be taken against security personnel filmed at the site in preceding days.
Ridi said his family was "living in fear".
"They are being harassed and attacked by the settlers," he said. "I cannot do anything about it."

'Ethnic cleansing'
Qusra sits in Area B of the occupied West Bank, nominally under Palestinian civil administration. The village has faced a string of recent attacks, including the burning of a newly built mosque last month.
In the neighbouring village of Jalud, a similar two-week siege in July forced two Palestinian families off their land before settlers took over the property.
Violence and land seizures in the occupied West Bank have intensified over the past months, with Jewish settlers emboldened by the right-wing government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which has overseen a rapid expansion of settlement construction in the territory.
More than 500,000 Israelis live in the occupied West Bank in settlements that are considered illegal under international law, alongside roughly three million Palestinians. Israel has occupied the territory since 1967.
According to the Israeli settlement watchdog Peace Now, there are 146 illegal settlements in the West Bank and a further 390 smaller outposts.
"Breaking the Silence", an Israeli rights group, said on X that while settlers commit "daily terror against Palestinian men, women, and children … neither this terror nor ethnic cleansing would be possible without the [Israeli] army's support".
The United Nations has also warned that the situation in the occupied West Bank has reached a "breaking point".
According to UN figures, Israeli forces and settlers have killed 76 Palestinians, including 18 children, in the occupied territory so far this year. About 3,800 Palestinians, nearly half of them children, have also been displaced by settler violence, demolitions and evictions.

De Facto Annexation
UN's Deputy Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Ramiz Alakbarov said on Tuesday that the UN has documented more than 1,430 settler attacks resulting in casualties or property damage across roughly 260 Palestinian communities in 2026, with many carried out in the presence of Israeli forces.
He also noted that Israeli authorities have also advanced or approved roughly 12,360 settlement housing units across the West Bank this year, including 5,160 in occupied East Jerusalem.
"These are interconnected steps, not isolated developments," Alakbarov said, warning that they were reshaping the occupied West Bank, weakening Palestinian governance and advancing "de facto annexation".
