>> This summer, Israeli bulldozers rolled through the West Bank city of Hebron with ruthless efficiency, targeting not soldiers or weapons caches, but something deeply vulnerable: Palestine’s only surviving national seed bank.

>> Within hours of the bulldozers’ arrival on July 31, 2025, the Union of Agricultural Work Committees’ seed multiplication facility lay in ruins — its propagation materials scattered, its infrastructure demolished, and with it, generations of Palestinian agricultural heritage reduced to rubble.

>> … #ecocide functions across temporal scales. The destruction of seed banks eliminates not just current agricultural capacity, but future possibilities for food sovereignty …

The world’s largest wealth fund, Norway's Government Pension Fund Global, has excluded #Caterpillar, the construction equipment manufacturer, over #Israel ’s use of its bulldozers to destroy Palestinian property in #Gaza and the #WestBank.

“There is no doubt that Caterpillar’s products are being used to commit extensive and systematic violations of international humanitarian law,” said the fund’s independent council on ethics.

Screenshot of the resolution at the bottom of https://www.auschwitz.org/en/museum/auschwitz-council/ - which is still there. RESOLUTION OF THE INTERNATIONAL AUSCHWITZ COUNCIL ON THE TRAGIC EVENTS IN ISRAEL, APPROVED BY CIRCULATION ON 18 NOVEMBER 2023 The International Auschwitz Council by the Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland acknowledges with the deepest pain and sorrow the suffering of innocent Victims – tortured, raped, taken hostage, and murdered by Hamas terrorists. We wish to express our unwavering solidarity with Israelis and Jews worldwide. Threatened in its existence, the State of Israel has the right to self-defense in accordance with international law and the principles of humanitarianism. The existence of a free, sovereign, and democratic Jewish State is one of the pillars of world peace. The unimaginable hatred and violence perpetrated by terrorists only results in extensive and more widespread suffering – affecting also the civilian population of Gaza, whom Hamas exploits as human shields. An essential first step to halt the horrifying spiral of death and war is the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages, a demand we make with all our might.

“A string of bands have pulled out of a UK music festival hours before they were due to perform after Irish band The Mary Wallopers said they were ‘cut off’ for displaying a Palestinian flag.

The Last Dinner Party, Cliffords and The Academic announced on Saturday that they would no longer be performing at the Victorious festival in Portsmouth following Friday’s incident.
…
Rock band The Last Dinner Party said they would boycott the festival in a statement shared on their Instagram page: ‘We are outraged by the decision made to silence The Mary Wallopers yesterday at Victorious. As a band we cannot cosign political censorship and will therefore be boycotting the festival today.’

…

Rock band The Academic have also pulled out of the festival, saying they could not ‘in good conscience’ perform at ‘a festival that silences free speech’. Irish band Cliffords said they ‘refuse to play if we are to be censored for showing our support to the people of Palestine’.

#Westbank #E1#DelusionOfGrandeur

THIS IS the total erasure of any possibility of a peacefull two-state-solution. The NAZIs propagated their 'Third Reich' claiming to need 'lebensraum. Don't you dare call me anti-semetic because this time those suffering from the same delusions happen to be jewish, or more precise: zionists.
They would have gotten along well together.

Quote by CNN:
"Aug 21, 2025
Israel has given final approval to expand a massive settlement project known as E1, that will effectively slice the occupied West Bank in half. It's been widely condemned by countries such as Britain, Canada and France, calling it a "flagrant violation of international law" and an end to the idea of a Palestinian state. Israeli settlements in the West Bank are considered illegal under international law. CNN’s Nic Robertson visits Palestinian communities who would be forcibly displaced by the plan and explains why it is so controversial."

Can all German genocide deniers please get the fuck out of my mentions.

Genocide denial is the last and final stage of genocide and constitutes complicity in genocide.

"Another farmer, Muhamed, shared through tears at a recent seminar that every morning before he leaves for his fields, he says goodbye to his wife and children as though it might be the last time. This is because of the settlers. “Each day I fear I will not come home alive,” he told Palestinian and Israeli activists who stood with him. CfP activists Jamil and Sayel were there, and the weight of that daily fear hung heavy among everyone present." #Westbank
