Shhhhhhh...Ethnic Cleansing In Progress - PLEASE DO DISTURB!
This, and many other tactics like it, are used to drive Palestinians off of their land...
The occupation prevents us from planting any trees or new saplings, it’s not allowed. Any building… it’s banned, banned, banned, everything is banned. Even small stone walls, if you build, they will destroy it. If you plant a sapling they will uproot it. If you put up a tent, they will destroy it and throw it away. This is the occupation and what they do. We’re in a terrible dilemma, really terrible.
Meanwhile, six illegal Israeli settlements and outposts have been built on the valley slopes, in contravention of international law.
For nearly 20 years, waste water from the settlements was released into the valley’s stream without hindrance, despite being a protected ‘nature reserve’.
The wastewater spoiled the natural springs and farmers’ water sources, causing nearly all 50 families that once lived here and enjoyed the springs recreationally, to leave to a nearby village.
They even brought wild boars to the land that destroyed everything for us. They destroy the vegetables that we plant, they destroy the figs, grapes, oranges, almonds, peaches, everything…destroyed.
Great work Lyndsay <3
Free Palestine
Today , Iran's president told them all the words that he must say ............ it was in UN.
Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu said about stoping Iran's Nuclear program , and Ruhani answer was this : why you want to stop Iran program while we have no nuclear bomb and we never will , why Israel has Nuclear weapons and Threatens countries of the region and nobody say anything ? and also Trump and USA government had to answer to their people about their money which is used to create terrorists and also keeping many countries in misery , everywhere that they went , He said : in old years , persian king Cyrus the Great helped Jews and free them and let them go back to Jerusalem , we are still those people , but now we want to free Palestinians , because Israel don't let them live equal and they took their human rights.
we always took side of poor people in the world , Yemen , Syria , Iraq , Afghanistan , Palestine , ... Myanmar , but these countries only can be free without hands of USA and Israel , without war , just with hands of their own people and with voting .
Their m.o is very simple. Take land illegally and just stay until everyone finally looks away. What is allowed to take place in that section of the world is catastrophic. Of course, the silence around it is much worse.
Imagine the outrage if the Germans announced the reopening of the Auschwitz. The Israelis along with every other Jewish person would scream at the top it their lungs. The MSM would have the headline and every politician in the world would be asked about it.
I am sorry but genocide is genocide. If what Hitler did to the Jews was wrong, which it was, then what the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians is just as wrong.
They cannot have it both ways....although that does appear to be the case.
Thank you for using reason and logic @taskmaster4450.
It's the same kind of neglect the west uses on its own people, not allowing homeless people to keep their tents, poisoning the water on native lands, letting children go hungry in school, banning housing like tiny houses or cob houses because they have minimum square foot laws which the big builders got into law so they can make more money selling giant houses, having the highest prison population and using them as slave labor, etc. It's that quiet death, that not-a-bomb death, that society allows because they can go about their workaday lives and never see it. And if a peep of that reality DOES get out, then the victims are blamed ("oh, those poor homeless people are all drug addicted criminals!").
When Israel starts dropping bombs, the world pays at least some attention. When they just starve them out, well...
True words Wren... :'(
It's people like you that will eventually force the west to rethink their policy on Israel and stop this genocide.
Keep it up babe, future generations will see this work in the blockchain and wonder why Israel was ever allowed to act this way. 👏
Good morning Lyndsay. I appreciate you continuing to bring light to this issue that seems to be overlooked, for some reason, by the main stream media. I mean, I consider myself to be pretty up on news and current events, and I've barely heard any news about the situation in Palestine. Posts like these, especially for your most dedicated followers, leave the brain thinking about the entire situation and wanting more info. I know after yesterday's video I was looking up more info and even ventured into some of the history of the conflict to help solidify my understanding of the conflict. Keep talking about what you are passionate about, even if others are not mentioning it. Steem on my friend!
Thank you so much for looking into this situation and wanting to know more, you are a real GEM! Yeah the MSM never says anything of worth about the truth of the genocide/ethnic cleansing happening to Palestinians for 70 years now. They make it seem like some sort of fair fight, when nothing could be further from the truth.
What we have is the 11th largest military power of the world, backed and fully funded by the #1 (USA), versus people with no army, no navy, no airforce...not even an airport! The Palestinians are trying to hold on to what little they have left of their land, their homes, their fields, and they lose more every day, meanwhile being shown by the corrupted media, as the aggressors...as the terrorists! Sickens me.
Thank you so much for Caring! That means the world to me.

Hey @lyndsaybowes I was able to watch this one and I'm very glad that I did for although it's really difficult to hear it's equally imperative that as many people as possible are made aware of these atrocities! I respect both your compassion and dedication to the people of Palestine and I can see a future where your voice becomes a shout! Thank you for sharing.
Thank You @perceptualflaws for being brave enough to also speak out, our voices together will become a shout as more and more wake up and start saying ENOUGH.
you are right, for nearly 20 years, waste water from the settlements was released...
Thank you for being aware.
This is a very cruel war criminal. Thank you so much for sharing
Thank you so much for caring about the Palestinians!
You are welcome
Nice video....
