The first 22 kilometers of a planned 500-kilometer Israeli military barrier are cutting off Palestinians from a large swathe of some of the most fertile agricultural land in the occupied West Bank.
Israel’s “Crimson Thread” isn’t a security project — it’s the deliberate destruction of Palestine’s breadbasket. When a military bulldozer cuts off water to 400 dunams and settlers attack families with total impunity, that’s not “terrain shaping.” It’s engineered displacement. Tubas fed the West Bank; now it’s being carved into pieces. The world should call this what it is: the systematic erasure of a people’s land, livelihood, and future.
There is no word other than "evil" by which Israel has so openly shown itself to be, along with far too many accomplice governments trafficking arms, money, and narratives. I'm not a religious person, and I don't need to be one to understand that evil exists. I have a brain and a heart - and I use both. I want to believe in the ideal of forgiveness, and for the most part I do, but this - this purposeful making of hell towards others - doesn't leave any reasonable space for "understanding".
