The Israeli military killed four Palestinians in four separate incidents across the occupied West Bank between Sunday and Monday, including one teenager, and a widow of six children who was unarmed when she was shot.

Here at Mondoweiss we’ve been calling the Israeli regime apartheid almost since we started publishing, and gladly the mainstream human rights world has started to catch up. Today we are excited to share an exclusive preview of our new documentary showing the Apartheid reality that Palestinians are living under. Mondoweiss is a key movement and media resource helping the world understand what is happening in Palestine and calling it by it’s true name: apartheid. Can you chip in to make sure we can keep building today?

A month that should be filled with happiness, peace, and devotion has unfortunately, in Palestine, become synonymous with occupation, apartheid, and repression.

Israeli forces injured and arrested dozens of Palestinians over the weekend in occupied East Jerusalem, as Muslims marked the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan.  Last year, Israeli police violence against Palestinians in Jerusalem during the holiday was the primary driver of Palestinian protests that swelled into the May 2021 uprisings.

A new UN Human Rights Council report is the latest in a series by international and Israeli groups accusing Israel of the crime of apartheid. “There are pitiless features of Israel’s ‘apartness’ rule in the occupied Palestinian territory that were not practiced in southern Africa, such as segregated highways, high walls and extensive checkpoints, a barricaded population, missile strikes and tank shelling of a civilian population, and the abandonment of the Palestinians’ social welfare to the international community,” Michael Lynk’s report said. “With the eyes of the international community wide open, Israel has imposed upon Palestine an apartheid reality in a post-apartheid world.”

Palestinians are reacting to the difference in how the Western media is covering Ukraine from how it covers Palestine. This has been most obvious in two places: the issues of refugees and resistance. “When I see double standards like this I feel that I as a Palestinian don’t exist on this planet,” Sabreen Abu Libdeh, a college lecturer from Ramallah, tells Mondoweiss. 

Palestinians woke up on Tuesday morning to the news that Israel had killed three more Palestinians, including one minor, in three separate incidents in the occupied West Bank and southern Israel. 

From US government officials, to our biggest news broadcasters, and social media networks, Ukrainians were being applauded as heroes for going to whatever lengths to protect their land. The same exact things that Palestinians are labelled as terrorists for, imprisoned, and even killed.

Israeli forces have killed five Palestinians over the past week, and 17 Palestinians since the start of 2022. Of the 17 Palestinians killed, three were children.

Israel killed three Palestinians on Tuesday in two separate incidents in the occupied West Bank, bringing the total number of Palestinians killed by Israel since the start of this year to 15.
