B'Tselem בצלם : On 19 Jan. 2025, Israeli soldiers entered the Palestinian village of Sabastiya near Nablus & fired several shots in the air. Some teens gathered behind a wall & aimed toy lasers at them. When 14-year-old Ahmad Jazar peeked out with his toy, the soldiers shot and killed him. Then they left.
Since the war in Gaza began, the military has increased its deliberate “friction” with residents of the West Bank, including raids on communities with no clear operational goal.

»“This is not what a ceasefire looks like,” Israeli human rights group B’Tselem said in a statement. “Far from holding its fire against Palestinians, Israel’s actions demonstrate it has no intention of doing so. Instead, it is merely shifting its focus from Gaza to other areas it controls in the West Bank.”«

[followup] #Palestine / IDF soldiers know that Palestinian suffering is a sought-after commodity in Israeli society

B’Tselem documented 25 testimonies detailing this abuse, which included beatings, threats of rape, and psychological torture. Many of these attacks occurred publicly and were even filmed and shared by the perpetrators.

Shiri Davidovitch, a researcher at B'Tselem, argues that this violence is not only a product of the daily realities of occupation but is also fueled by a societal climate in #Israel shaped by the October 2024 war. The lack of critical media coverage of the conflict in #Gaza and the emphasis on a simplistic notion of “victory” has created a societal thirst for vengeance, dehumanizing Palestinians and normalizing violence against them. This dehumanization is evident in the casual brutality documented in #Hebron and the widespread sharing of violent imagery online.

Davidovitch concludes that as long as Israeli society continues to dehumanize Palestinians and prioritize a narrative of revenge, such abuses will continue.

One Issue on Which #Israeli Extremists Are Mainstream

Sept. 16, 2024

By Hagai El-Ad
Mr. El-Ad was the executive director of the Israeli human rights group B’Tselem from 2014 to 2023. He wrote from Jerusalem.

"But there is only one regime in Israel-Palestine. The Palestinian Authority controls limited aspects of life in fragmented areas of the West Bank; Israel rules over all the major aspects of life in the territory.

Annexation is not a future prospect; it is a fact of life. Israelis and Palestinians live in a one-state reality."

Informed Comment · B'Tselem accuses Israeli Authorities of Systematically Torturing Thousands of Palestinian PrisonersAnn Arbor (Informed Comment) - The brave and meticulous Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem has issued a report aptly entitled 'Welcome to Hell' on the functioning of the Israeli prison system, in which it concludes that Israeli authorities are now routinely using torture on Palestinian prisoners. This violence, B'Tselem showed, is part of Israel’s longstanding incarceration project, which has targeted hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, unraveling their social and political fabric. Since 1967, over 800,000 Palestinians have been imprisoned, dehumanized, and labeled as 'terrorists,' facilitating their systematic oppression and the violation of their rights. The prison system serves as a

Kürzlich kam das "Welcome to hell"-Dokument der israelischen Menschenrechtsorganisation #BTselem heraus, in dem systematisch Zeugenaussagen von 55 Palästinensern (30 aus der Westbank, 21 aus Gaza, 4 israelische Bürger - nur wenige von ihnen wurden jemals eines Verbrechens beschuldigt) bzgl der Situation ihrer Gefangenschaft in #Israel analysiert wurden sind. Eben habe ich es mir durchgelesen. (Wer es ertragen kann sollte das auch tun)

“We, the citizens of Israel, must open our eyes.”

“We must listen to the clear call from around the world: the violence, destruction and killing must stop now.”

“It is time we understood that violence and disregard for human life are keystones of the Israeli apartheid regime between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.”

B’Tselem, one of Israel’s leading human rights organisations

#BTselem: "Israel is taking advantage of the fact that local and international attention is currently diverted from the #WestBank to impose far-reaching measures that constitute collective punishment, which is prohibited under international law. This conduct is integral to Israel's apartheid regime, which is at its most flagrant in #Hebron." middleeasteye.net/news/israel-
