For Palestinians living under Israeli occupation and apartheid, driving comes with more dangers than you can imagine.
Israel might be on the verge of finally obtaining a U.S. visa waiver, but critics say new proposed travel guidelines will continue to discriminate against Palestinians.
The Israeli military announced the soldiers involved in the death of Palestinian American Omar Asaad would not face criminal charges. Less than 1% of Israeli army probes result in the prosecution of soldiers.
If the Nakba was the catastrophe that laid the foundation for Israel’s settler colonial state, the Naksa was the defeat that finished the job, setting off a chain of events that has come to define the reality on the ground in occupied Palestine over the past 56 years.

While tensions rise at the Al Aqsa compound in anticipation of a broader Israeli crackdown, settlers burned down a Palestinian home near Ramallah and continued the organized assault on Huwwara.

Israeli forces shot and killed 20-year-old Aref Lahlouh was shot and killed near the city of Qalqilya in the West Bank, claiming that he attempted to stab soldiers. 17-year-old Mohammad Ali was killed during confrontations in the Shu’fat refugee camp.
“The New York Times” realized it had to report the year-end casualty statistics for Palestinians in the West Bank, the highest toll since 2005.
So it looked for a way to shift attention away from the major perpetrators — the Israeli military and Jewish settler/colonists — and put it on the Palestinians.
