āIām waiting for my son Mahmoud. I havenāt seen him in two and a half years except once, before he was transferred to Egypt. Iāve been waiting for two and a half years,ā Al-Harsh, 31, told Drop Site News.
Financing the far right and the occupation
A key pillar of this strategy is the allocation of 400 million shekels ($129.5m) to the Ministry of Settlement and National Missions, which is the body that ultimately authorises illegal Jewish-only settlements and outposts on Palestinian land ā usually after they have gone up.
-
Since the onset of the recent regional escalation, more than 100 Palestinians have been injured during settler attacks, including about 90 by settlers and the remainder by Israeli forces, averaging approximately seven injuries per day in this context (UN).
-
More than 260 Palestinians have been injured by Israeli settlers during settler attack in 2026 (UN).
-
This is a threefold increase in the monthly average of Palestinians injured by settlers during settler attacks since 2023 ā 105 vs. 30 (UN).
-
Since 1 January 2026, more than 1,500 Palestinians from 29 communities have been displaced due to demolitions and settler attacks (UN).
Iam ignorant about the details of the bill but this thought popped up in my head as i was going about my day.
I wondered whether the billās intent was to spread a chilling effect on all Palestinian resistance. Israelās ambitions on the Iran front have failed or will take a long time to materialize, so focusing on violently seizing Palestinian territories one needs a bill like this to prevent Palestinians from fighting back to keep their propertyā¦knowing that they will face the gallows if they even try.
I think the zios know it wont work like that. The more they hang people the more others will join the resistance.
The brits done the same thing in Ireland over the centuries for various āmisdemeanoursā such as wearing a shamrock or anything green as immortalised in the song āthe wearing of the greenā. Then in 1920 they again brought back hanging and the first of those hanged was 18 year old Volunteer Kevin Barry,
William Murphy rightly notes, the situation ādemonstrated once more the authoritiesā key dilemma: the revolution could not be halted without severe repression, but repressive acts fed the revolution.ā Barry was hanged on the morning of 1 November 1920, and his death ā an end bestowed on a criminal, in a criminal prison ā inflamed public opinion.
Then they hanged another six (part of a group named the āforgotten tenā) a few months later,
And as this article points out,
If the British regime thought the execution of the six Volunteers in Mountjoy would intimidate the Irish people they were greatly mistaken as shown by the wave of grief and solidarity that ensued, as well as the stepping up of armed resistance to British rule by the IRA.
My thought is that this new ālawā is being brought in to try and encourage suicide bombing. If you base it on zionist thinking such as the samson option it makes perfect sense. Well it does to me.

A pretty decent talk by Chris Hedges. Runs 34 mins.
āIran and Gaza Are ONLY THE BEGINNINGā (Chris Hedges at Princeton)
Consortium news gives this summary,
Hedges begins with a blunt thesis: āThe genocide in Gaza is the beginning.ā The mass displacement of millions, the saturation bombing of civilian populations and the open defiance of international law signal the death of the post-World War II framework that once claimed to restrain state violence.
Institutions like the United Nations and the International Court of Justice, he says, have been āneutered, transformed into useless appendages of another age.ā
What replaces them is a world where **ā**there are no rules for the strong, only for the weak.ā
A World Unraveling
Hedges describes a geopolitical landscape in freefall:
-
Over 6 million people displaced across Gaza, Lebanon and Iran.
-
A U.S. political class pushed into war with Iran by ideological zealots and lobby pressure.
-
A global legal system openly ignored by the very nations that once claimed to uphold it.
The result is a moral vacuum where, as Hedges puts it, āthe most psychopathic rulers of human historyā¦ have returned with a vengeance.ā
The Weaponization of Memory
One of the most provocative sections of the speech examines how Holocaust memory has been distorted to shield state power rather than confront the universal dangers of genocide.
Hedges argues that many institutions dedicated to Holocaust remembrance have failed to speak out against the mass killing of Palestinians, revealing a deeper crisis of moral authority.
This silence, he warns, has āimploded the moral authority of Holocaust scholars and Holocaust memorials.ā
Genocide as a Western Tradition
Hedges traces a lineage from colonial extermination campaigns to Hiroshima and beyond, arguing that genocide is not an aberration but a recurring instrument of Western empire.
Citing Langston Hughes, he reminds the audience that marginalized communities have long understood fascism not as theory but as lived experience.
āGenocide is not an anomaly. It is coded within our DNA.ā
The Authoritarian Turn at Home
The repression of student protesters, the blacklisting of dissenting academics, and proposals to revoke broadcasting licenses for critics of U.S. foreign policy are, Hedges argues, the domestic echo of the violence abroad.
A ādeadening silenceā is descending ā the silence that precedes authoritarian consolidation.
āWe know where this ends.ā
The Real Enemies
In one of the speechās most striking lines, Hedges rejects the idea that Americaās enemies are foreign populations:
āThey are not in Palestine. They are not in Lebanon. They are not in Iran. They are here among us.ā
These enemies, he says, are the political, corporate, and media elites who envision āa world of slaves and masters.ā
A Final Warning
Hedges closes with a stark choice: obstruct or surrender. There are no internal mechanisms left for reform. The machinery of empire, perfected abroad, is turning inward.
