3) On 12.12.2023, we contacted the Attorney General following a document revealed by Ilana Dayan, in which a Central Command Major General warns that due to Minister Ben Gvir's directive, the police are not enforcing nationalist criminality by settlers against Palestinians in the territories. According to the publication, this policy was "imposed" on the police by the minister, and is not published for public criticism, does not reflect staff work, and was not made in consultation with the Attorney General or with the professional elements in the police.

In the appeal, attorneys Gil Gan-Mor and Roni Peli argued that to the extent that the minister's instruction to refrain from enforcing nationalist criminality by settlers or to prioritize it as low was issued, it is an illegal directive, as it was issued without authority and contradicts Israel's obligations under the laws of occupation. They further argued that this publication, to the extent that it is true, indicates the real risk of entrusting the authority to determine policy in the field of investigations to the Minister of National Security, as stipulated in Amendment 37 to the Police Ordinance, and it illustrates how a minister may turn the police into a tool for realizing his political vision. The association's petition against the amendment is pending.

2) On the same day, we again urgently appealed to the members of the small cabinet, the Chief of Staff, the head of the Shin Bet, and the Commissioner of Police, detailing another 108 (!) incidents of violence against Palestinians that had occurred in the West Bank since the previous appeal. The appeal stated that "the settlers' violent attack on Palestinians in the West Bank has so far claimed the lives of 7 Palestinians, led to the expulsion of 896 people from 15 different communities, and caused enormous damage to property, infrastructure, agricultural equipment, herds, trees, and fields [...]. Since the beginning of the war, nearly 200 violent incidents have occurred - an average of 8 incidents per day - an unprecedented record in scope and severity."

On November 9, 2023, we appealed to the Commander of Central Command to order the army forces in the field to immediately stop the forced expulsion of herding communities from their homes by violent settlers, and to allow the return of the communities that were forced to leave, while protecting their lives and property. The appeal listed 15 communities in which all the residents - 874 people - were forcibly transferred from their homes, and six additional communities in which several threatened families left and the rest of the community remains threatened. In the appeal, Attorney Roni Peli emphasized that the army's policy of abandoning Palestinian residents violates the obligation to protect protected residents from violence and threats and the prohibition on the systematic forcible transfer of protected people, both of which are stipulated in the Fourth Geneva Convention.

1) Under the cover of the war and the horrific Hamas offensive in the south, while the media's attention is focused on the war in Gaza, violent attacks by settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank are occurring on an unprecedented scale. Entire communities are being expelled from their homes through violence, threats, and the destruction of their property. Although the military authorities are aware of the events, they are doing nothing to stop the violence. In some cases, representatives of the security forces have even explicitly stated that they have no intention of helping the Palestinians.

Together with the organizations Yesh Din, Hakel, and Bikmun - Planners for Planning Rights, we appealed to the members of the small cabinet, the Chief of Staff, and the Police Commissioner, demanding an end to the lawlessness of West Bank residents. In her appeal, Attorney Roni Peli detailed dozens of attacks on innocent Palestinians and their property, from the shooting of live ammunition at Palestinians to threats that if they did not flee, their heads would bleed. We called on the government to act in accordance with international law: to immediately protect the Palestinians from the rampant violence of the settlers and to return the deportees to their homes.

On 29.10.2023, we joined 30 human rights organizations in an urgent call for the international community to take urgent action to stop the wave of settler violence, which is leading to the expulsion of entire Palestinian communities from their land. The call states that since the outbreak of the war, at least 13 pastoralist communities have been displaced from their land, and seven Palestinians have been murdered. The government is not acting to stop the violence, and in many cases the army is present at the events and even participates in them.

The actions of various Zionist groups during the period leading up to the establishment of Israel involved a range of activities that, by today's standards, would be classified as terrorism. Here's an overview of several notable incidents:

Bombing of the King David Hotel: On July 22, 1946, the Irgun, a Zionist paramilitary group, bombed the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, which housed the British administrative headquarters. This attack resulted in the deaths of 91 people, including 28 British, 41 Arabs, 17 Jews, and 5 others. The Irgun had warned about the bomb, but the evacuation was not completed in time. This act is widely considered one of the most significant terrorist attacks of the 20th century, given its scale and impact.

The Sergeants Affair: In July 1947, the Irgun kidnapped two British sergeants, Clifford Martin and Mervyn Paice, in retaliation for the British execution of three Irgun members. The sergeants were later found hanged, which led to significant escalation in tensions and was seen as an act of terrorism due to the deliberate targeting of non-combatants for political leverage.

Bombing of the British Embassy in Rome: On October 31, 1946, the Irgun bombed the British Embassy in Rome, damaging nearly half of the building and injuring three people. This was part of a broader campaign against British interests in response to their policies in Palestine.

Attack on the Military Train from Austria to UK: On August 15, 1946, members of the Zionist group Lehi (also known as the Stern Gang) attacked a military train carrying British soldiers from Austria to the UK. This ambush, which took place near Kufstein, Austria, resulted in several British casualties. The attack was aimed at British forces as part of the resistance against the British Mandate in Palestine.

Bombing of the Hotel Sacher in Vienna: This event, less documented but part of the spectrum of actions, involved the bombing of the Hotel Sacher in Vienna by Zionist groups, though specific details on this incident are scarce in the provided sources. It would fit into the pattern of attacks aimed at British targets or those perceived to support British interests.

Bombing of the Immigration Department in Tel Aviv: While not as widely discussed in the provided sources, similar actions were taken against British administrative targets in Palestine, including attacks on immigration offices, which were aimed at disrupting British control over Jewish immigration to Palestine. Such actions would be considered terrorism due to the use of violence against administrative structures for political aims.

These incidents reflect a pattern of targeting both civilian and military structures associated with British rule over Palestine, with the intent to force British withdrawal and facilitate the creation of a Jewish state. Today, these actions would generally be classified under the broad definition of terrorism due to their nature as violent acts intended to create fear and influence political outcomes. However, it's crucial to understand the historical context in which these acts occurred, where they were part of a broader struggle for national liberation and statehood.

With the increase of censorship on Twitter (X), I think we need an Alternative. Please let me know what you think! https://x.com/R34lB0rg/status/1867913441354342444/photo/1

Historical Context: Early Twitter was known for its commitment to free speech, encapsulated in its slogan "the free speech wing of the free speech party." However, over time, Twitter has faced numerous allegations and criticisms regarding censorship:

2010s: Concerns about censorship began to surface more prominently. In 2014, Twitter's transparency reports started showing a rise in government requests for content takedowns. By 2015, a study suggested that Twitter was under-reporting its censorship by significant margins, indicating over 250,000 censored tweets globally.

2018: Reports highlighted Twitter's compliance with government censorship demands, especially in regions like Turkey, where censorship was notably high.📷

2020: Political bias in censorship was a hot topic, especially with debates around Twitter's decision to label tweets from then-President Donald Trump as misleading. A Pew Research Center survey showed that many Americans, particularly Republicans, believed social media sites, including Twitter, were censoring political viewpoints.📷

Post-2022 (Elon Musk's Acquisition): After Elon Musk's acquisition of Twitter, there was a notable change in policy approach. Data suggested that under Musk, Twitter complied with 83% of government censorship requests, up from around 50% before his takeover, showing a shift in how the platform handled such requests.

What happened to Elon Musk when he visited Israel in November 2023?!?

Before November 2023:

Elon Musk was deeply involved in the design and innovation of Tesla vehicles, notably with the Cybertruck's unique aesthetics and features.

He contributed significantly to SpaceX's rocket development, including the Falcon series and the Merlin engine, focusing on reusability and performance.

Musk was hands-on with the Starship project, specifying design parameters for Mars colonization.

Since November 2023:

Musk has publicly engaged more in political discourse, particularly showing support for Israel and Donald Trump during the 2024 election cycle.

His activity on X (formerly Twitter) has shifted towards political commentary, addressing issues like free speech and antisemitism.
