While the World Watches Gaza: The Unreported Israeli War for the Annexation of the ILLEGALLY OCCUPIED West Bank

This article, published in The Guardian is the logical followup to my last post The Apostolic Manifesto: The Major’s Seal—From a Canadian Jail to Gaza’s Cry

While the eyes of the world are on Gaza, Israeli settlers in the West Bank still behave with impunity

As the harvest season begins, attacks on Palestinian farmers and their land are spiralling. The words of peace following the Gaza ceasefire ring hollow.

Last Monday, when the US president, Donald Trump, addressed the Knesset alongside the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, my compatriot lawmaker Ayman Odeh and I raised a banner calling them to “Recognise Palestine”. We were brutally expelled by force from the parliament’s plenum, revealing the fragile state of the supposed “only democracy in the Middle East”. How can Trump and Netanyahu speak of peace in the Middle East without recognition of the people deprived for decades of their basic liberties and rights under vicious occupation?

Nowhere is the deceit more clear than in the occupied West Bank. There, the words of peace are but a weak and distant voice, but the horrifying sounds of settler violence and terror still echo loudly. More than 30 occurrences of settler violence against Palestinians have been documented since the announcement of Trump’s 20-point plan at the end of September, including physical assaults, theft of agricultural produce and torching of vehicles and property.

The rise of settler terrorism is not coincidental. This period marks the start of the harvest seasons. More than a vital economic event, it is an important social and national moment that exhibits endurance under occupation. Precisely for these reasons, year after year settlers target Palestinians during this precious time. During the 2024 harvest period, Yesh Din (an Israeli human rights group that collects and disseminates information regarding violations of Palestinians’ human rights in the West Bank) documented 113 separate incidents of violence, harassment, harvest-thwarting or damage to olive trees and crops involving Israeli civilians and soldiers, which took place on lands belonging to 51 Palestinian villages, towns and communities.

Yesh Din also found that “Israeli security forces appeared to have played a greater role in obstructing the olive harvest”. In about 70% of forceful prevention of access to lands, soldiers, border police officers and settlement civilian security coordinators (CSCs) were actually present. They either personally prevented Palestinians from accessing and harvesting in their own lands, or failed to stop settlers who harassed or assaulted them.

This comes as no surprise, as the leader of the settlers’ political party, Bezalel Smotrich, was appointed as an additional minister in the Ministry of Defence in charge of the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT). In Umm al-Khair, for example, a special COGAT unit uprooted private olive trees of Palestinians, citing lack of permits, but ignored violations of an illegal nearby settler outpost. Last week, the Jerusalem district court ruled to halt all building work in the outpost, which was built on lands seized by Israel and unlawfully transferred to settlers.

In the occupied West Bank, settler terrorism is nothing but a tool by the government to pursue de-facto annexation. Earlier this month, Smotrich led a march of thousands of settlers in support of annexation of the West Bank. He was quoted as saying, “We are continuing to take hold with our feet of the Land of Israel with many pioneers, many heroes, and hundreds of thousands of settlers who live in this part of the land … we need to normalise it and make it eternal.”

The settlers and their supporters in the Knesset are clear on their motives and intentions. Why, then, do political leaders in the west refrain from meaningful sanctions and diplomatic measures? Smotrich was sanctioned by the UK in June, but the effect of the sanction has been minimal. He may not be able to travel to the UK and tour the West End, but he still enjoys the ministerial power to grab lands in the West Bank. Even in the announcement of sanctions, the UK highlighted they take place “in his personal capacity” solely.

If the UK government acknowledges the reality of settler violence and its grave implications on Palestinian life, why does it still allow settlement produce to be sold in markets and shops in Britain? If Starmer is serious about recognition of Palestine as a state, how come it allows the Israeli government to violate its sovereignty with such violent means? Or was the recognition an empty ploy to shut down dissenting voices in the UK, a hollow act only to be realised in the rebranding of some maps?

A just peace must respect the fundamental rights of the Palestinian people for self-recognition, sovereignty and liberty from military occupation and siege. Only when every human being’s dignity between the river and sea is respected can we truly say peace has been achieved.

True peace requires an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel: this is the sole formula that enjoys consensus among the international community, the Palestinian national movement and the Israeli peace camp.

Trump may have inflicted pressure on Netanyahu to halt the genocide, but he probably only did so because the burden of his relationship with the pariah regime of Netanyahu had become too great. The mass protests across the globe for the liberation of Palestine, and the unwavering anti-government demonstrations inside Israel, are the real forces behind this pressure.

It is thanks to this enormous civil movement that a ceasefire has been signed, the hostages released and the people of Gaza can enjoy safeguard from annihilation. After the ceasefire agreement has been signed, it is vital to keep applying this pressure. The world has turned a blind eye to the atrocities in Gaza for too long; it must not repeat the same mistake in the West Bank.

GENOCIDE in PALESTINE – TO TRY THEM THAT DWELL UPON THE EARTH

Posted on by Ray Joseph Cormier

Jesus Christ the Jew anticipated Israeli lying WAR PROPAGANDA we see unfolding in this material World TODAY with the Genocide in Gaza.

[9] I know your works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but you are rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. Revelation 2

[9] Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. Revelation 3

As I see it, this World is on the Path to ARMAGEDDON/WWIII and most People just don’t care about what’s happening ‘over there’ preoccupied, struggling to meet the costs, financial, psychologically and emotionally, living in the FREE WORLD the minority of the privileged and powerful elites at the TOP of the Pyramid System tell us we live in.

The Star of David Israel claims as it’s own, has much more Spiritual significance for THIS Whole Material World than 1st seen. Christ restores Spiritual Sight in a world where most People worship money and things. It’s such a simple Sign of the Times for our Generations!

What is it? What does it symbolize?

The 1st thing to notice is, it’s made up of 2 Pyramids upside down to each each other, yet totally intertwined interacting.

This world’s economic systems, no matter what they’re called, is one big Pyramid System with the rich and powerful elites at the top, with the masses of powerless passive peasants at the biggest bottom level, holding up all levels of that pyramid above them. That’s the Pyramid System ruling this world since Nimrod at the Tower of Babel. That’s the Pyramid System we have ruling over us these Days, on it’s Tip ready to Topple over.

The upright Pyramid has God at the top, the Star of David, established on Peace, Love, Good Will toward All, Truth, Justice and Works of Faith. That’s the place People have prayed to see repeated over and over again for the last 2000 years, “Your kingdom come, Your Will be done, on Earth as it is in heaven”

That’s only a vain repetition if the People are not resolved to do God’s Will while they’re on Earth. Failure to do that by the People who are the real government if they learn to govern themselves, has led to Today’s World of division, disruption and increasing hate and chaos everyone will have to deal with in the short to intermediate Time ahead. That’s why the 2 Pyramids are interactive one way or another. God helps Individuals extract themselves from the duopoly of Pyramid Systems.

Christ Jesus says, ‘Call NO MAN on Earth your Father. WE have ONE Father in heaven.‘ If you accept that Christian Awareness Mission to the World, the existence of Billionaires in a MONEY DRIVEN World is a Crime against Humanity.

My personal reference Bible was printed in 1855, before CanaDa came into being. I see these words from that old Book being acted out by the POWERFUL minority elites in this Material World, in this Time of the Revelation of Jesus Christ the Jew Today, my paraphrasing in the brackets:

And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, (devil, Satan, Serpent) and out of the mouth of the beast, (Earthly Nation) and out of the mouth of the false prophet. (false teachings about the Eternal God)
For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth (Billionaires, Presidents, Prime Ministers, CEOs, and other Idols of the People) and of the whole world, (the rest of the passive powerless peasant People) to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
Behold, I come as a thief. (when you least expect it) Blessed is he that watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue ARMAGEDDON. Revelation 16:13-16

ARMAGEDDON was derived from Har Mediggo during the Roman Occupation and control of the area and the West Bank.

The God of Israel made Israel disappear from the Earth for it’s wrongdoings some 720 years before Jesus walked the land of the Jews, until it was recreated from the Bible in 1948. It is a wonder indeed, as if there is some Spiritual thread from then to now, the Occupation of Palestine is still the unresolved explosive issue in the Middle East where Bible History started and may END in our Lifetimes.

For those who follow the news closely, the MSM has been projecting for a while, the Jewish, Christian, & Muslim Middle East may lead to ARMAGEDDON, aka, the battle of that great day of God Almighty in our Generations, already shaping up while most people are asleep to it’s consequences over the Israeli Genocide in Gaza. The so called ‘International Community,’ aka, the ‘nominally’ Christian Nations, consent to it with SILENCE! (he came unto his own, and his own would not accept him-John 1)

Palestine is the litmus test for every single value the West supposedly holds dear. And we are failing miserably.

Palestine doesn’t matter more than Ukraine or Myanmar or Kashmir or Congo. But it matters in a different way, because Western nations are the primary engine of this genocide. And it is only the West that can stop this.

If you care about Western values of liberty, justice and universal human rights, Palestine is the issue.

About due process, Palestine is the issue.

About free speech, Palestine is the issue. https://www.reuters.com/resizer/v2/Y3BOQ5PHRJJQBPAWBUP2KFH63U.jpg?

About international law being respected, Palestine is the issue.

About the right of all human beings to have access to food, clean water and medical care, Palestine is the issue.

About children being safe from bombs falling on them as they sleep, Palestine is the issue.

About the crime of targeting hospitals, infrastructure and shelters, Palestine is the issue.

About not demolishing people’s homes, destroying their livelihoods and forcibly moving them into concentration camps, Palestine is the issue.

About not starving people as collective punishment, Palestine is the issue. About protecting our biosphere, Palestine is the issue

Our very fate lies in how we, as a civilization, meet this moment. Palestine matters because we have stated over and over and over again that all human beings matter. And if the West really believes this, it has done a horrendous job of demonstrating that so far.
