As settlers besiege Palestinian families in Qusra, Israel’s government responds by handing settlement security to the police of hardline minister Ben-Gvir- a move seen to further entrench Israeli annexation of the West Bank.

Fathi Khazem, a father of two slain resistance fighters and once regarded as a symbol of resistance, was killed by Israeli forces in his home, despite having an understanding mediated by the Palestinian Authority that Israel wouldn’t pursue him.

For seven months, Israeli settlers have besieged three Palestinian homes on a hilltop near Nablus, but the families refuse to leave. “We will lose ourselves if we lose Ras al-Ain,” a village leader told Mondoweiss.

DSA member Angie Nixon defeated Alex Vindman in Florida’s Senate primary, outspent 16 to 1. She’s called Netanyahu a war criminal and opposes U.S. arms sales to Israel. Elsewhere in the state, progressive challengers didn’t see as much success.

For months, Palestinian farmers in the northern West Bank have watched their water lines cut and their wells marked for demolition in Israel’s slow strangulation of Palestinian agriculture, as farmers tell Mondoweiss “there is no tomorrow” for them.

In Gaza’s displacement camps, survival has bred a new economy: a gym owner forges weights from empty cans, a supermarket owner turns baker, a housewife becomes a street vendor — each person rebuilding a livelihood from the wreckage of genocide.

With reconstruction stalled in Gaza, boys as young as 14 are clearing the wreckage of destroyed homes by hand for as little as $10 a day. Often they are the breadwinners for their families and are forced to abandon their studies to work for survival.

The arrest and abuse of “doctor of the poor” Mazen Rantisi signal that no one is safe from Israel’s assault on Palestinian life in the West Bank. Rantisi’s daughter says he was targeted because he helps Palestinian society remain resilient.

For generations, Palestinian farmers timed the wheat harvest by the stars and the rain. Now, Israeli settlers set the harvest instead, as their cows graze freely in Palestinian wheat fields across the West Bank after displacing Bedouin herders.
