The Lord's Army Isn't Stupid: It Pushes for Mass Expulsion of Palestinians

“On Friday, April 26, at 13:00, a group of settlers invaded the southern part of Madama village [south of Nablus] and departed shortly afterward," the Palestine Liberation Organization's Negotiations Affairs Department reports on its website. It also reports that on the same day, at 11:45 A.M., "a group of settlers entered the farming lands of civilians in the Al-Khalayel area in Al-Mughayyir village [northeast of Ramallah] and shot at several farmers. At 14:55, a group of settlers invaded the Ein al-Hilwa area in the northern Jordan Valley and destroyed a residential tent belonging to the D. family with the objective of expelling them from the area."

At an unknown hour, "a group of settlers entered the lands of Kisan village [southeast of Bethlehem] and tried to steal a water tank attached to a tractor and farming equipment, but people managed to stop the group and prevent it from seizing their property." Also on that day, at an unknown hour, a group of settlers invaded the Ein al-Hawaya area west of Hussan village, located west of Bethlehem, and held a prayer service there. Another group of settlers invaded Carmel village east of Yatta and held prayers in the village's archaeological area.

According to the site, on April 25, "at 13:05, a group of settlers stole an electrical transformer attached to a solar energy production system belonging to a family in the Khirbet a-Dir area in the northern Jordan Valley, and also ripped up and destroyed residential tents and an electrical generator belonging to another family. At 13:25, a group of settlers erected several tents in the Al-Khalayel area on lands south of Al-Mughayyir, in an attempt to erect a new illegal outpost. And at 13:45, a group of settlers stood on the bypass road near the Yitzhar settlement and threw rocks at cars.

"At 14:00, a group of extremist settlers led by the extremist minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, under the protection of the occupation forces, visited Othniel's Tomb on Bir a-Saba' Street in Hebron [in the section under Palestinian control]. In the afternoon, a group of settlers confronted a family that was farming its land in Jawrat a-Sham'a village southeast of Bethlehem and prevented it from continuing to work there. At 16:50, a group of settlers set fire to crops belonging to residents of the A-Diraat area east of Yatta."

how the fuck is Itamar Ben-Gvir, still allowed to be a member of Knesset, nevermind a member of the cabinet? These far right wingnuts in Israel need to go.
