An ICC investigation of Israel’s actions against the Palestinians is an instance of long, long overdue justice, of leveling the playing field to some degree. Why? Because while Israel is by no means the world’s worst malefactor, it is definitely the world’s most lavishly indulged one.

Vegans for BDS, a group of Palestinian and North American vegans and environmentalists, stand in solidarity with the indigenous Palestinian people, recognizing that the Israeli military occupation of Palestine harms the land, people, and animals there every day.

Construction bids for a new Israeli settlement cutting off Palestinian access to their supposed capital of Jerusalem will come in days after Biden takes office. The EU and Palestine have decried Givat Hamatos as the death of the two state solution. Experts say Biden will likely do nothing to prevent construction in February.

“I would like to tell Pompeo, and all Americans, that when you drink that wine, you are drinking the blood of the Palestinian people,” Abdel Jawab Saleh, a Palestinian who owns land on this site of the Psagot settlement said.
