It Has Never Been About Defence: It was always about the destruction of Palestine

60% of the West Bank, controlled by the PLO-- which does not support HAMAS-- is under rule of Israel. 22% of the West Bank is a combined rule and only 18% belongs to Palestines.

General Assembly resolution 58/292 (17 May 2004) affirmed that the Palestinian people have the right to sovereignty over the area. The International Court of Justice and the Supreme Court of Israel have ruled that the status of the West Bank is that of military occupation.

~Wikipedia (West Bank Article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Bank#:~:text=General%20Assembly%20resolution%2058%2F292,is%20that%20of%20military%20occupation)

In 2004 Israel was putting Military occupation on the West Bank, which belong Legally and logically to Palestine-- According to The International Court of Justice and Supreme Court of Israel

2004 was long before HAMAS' recent invasion. And the West Banks' leaders doesn't support HAMAS.

The West Bank has been under military occupation by Israel since 7 June 1967 The status of the West Bank as a militarily occupied territory has been affirmed by the International Court of Justice and, with the exception of East Jerusalem, by the Israeli Supreme Court.

~Wikipedia (Israeli Occupation of the West Bank article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_occupation_of_the_West_Bank)

All settlements are located in Area C, the 60% of the West Bank controlled by Israel. Given that Israel has not annexed the West Bank, Jewish settlements in the territory are not considered by Israel to be under its sovereignty.

The settlements of Jews aren't even considered Israeli-- but:

Israel has justified its civilian settlements by stating that a temporary use of land and buildings for various purposes appears permissible under a plea of military necessity and that the settlements fulfilled security needs

~Wikipedia (International law and Israeli settlements Article:

Urif, Occupied West Bank – The villagers of Urif live in fear for their lives and property as illegal settlers on a nearby hill – and the Israeli forces backing them – continue to terrorise the area.

In Palestine, Honour Killing Sparks Debate on Gender-based Violence

In Palestine, Honour Killing Sparks Debate on Gender-based Violence

Ghrayeb’s shocking death has triggered the outrage necessary for serious action to be taken, but individual acts of justice, while important, might not be enough to combat systemic issues related to violence against women. Deeper institutional reform may be necessary for long-term and more radical change.

Christmas in (Occupied) Bethlehem

Palestinian artist: Sliman Mansour

I highlighted more of his Nativity paintings in a blog post at https://globalworship.tumblr.com/post/671869934357348352/nativity-art-by-palestinian-artist-sliman-mansour

In 1947, Christians made up 85% of the population of Bethlehem, but by 1998, the figure had declined to 40%. By 2016, the Christian population of Bethlehem had declined to only 16%.

In 2006, a poll was taken, and 78% attributed the exodus of Christians to the Israeli blockade.

Following an influx of refugees as a result of Israeli advances in the 1967 war, Bethlehem has a Muslim majority, but is still home to a significant Palestinian Christian community. It is now encircled and encroached upon by dozens of Israeli settlements and the Israeli West Bank barrier, which separates both Muslim and Christian communities from their land and livelihoods, and sees a steady exodus from both communities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethlehem#Christian_population

Bethlehem is part of the "occupied West Bank." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Bank

New Orleans New Year’s resolutions, the pet edition | Entertainment/Life

As we welcome 2020, it’s a great opportunity to set some new goals, not only for ourselves but for our pets, too. The new year is the perfect time to make sure our pets are up to date on vaccinations, have tags with current contact information, are microchipped, and to evaluate their overall health and needs so they can put their best paws forward.
