On some level, just saying that the West Bank is a part of Israel would be more honest.
Trump clearly made a deal to do that. It’s the only way he got elected.
I feel like there isn’t really much reason to comment on current events, given that I already spent nearly a year explaining the entire Trump administration before it happened.
That’s why I’m quitting.
Israeli settlers are pushing ahead with a largely unnoticed de facto annexation of large areas of rural land in the occupied West Bank that has already seen the almost total displacement of Bedouin in large areas.
While settler activity, including violence, has long been well-documented in the section of the West Bank designated by the 1993 Oslo accords as under Israeli security and administrative control – the so-called Area C of the occupied territory, including the south Hebron Hills – settlers have switched their focus to mostly rural Area B, which was designated to be under Palestinian civil control initially.
All three of the Oslo areas – Area A being the major Palestinian cities – were intended under the accords to be transferred to a future Palestinian state.
They don’t really have to get all of those people out of the cities in order to declare the West Bank a part of Israel. Inside of Israel’s internationally recognized borders, the 1967 borders, nearly a quarter are Palestinians (some of them have Israeli citizenship, some are stateless).
At a time when the US president, Donald Trump, has talked about the relocation of Palestinians from Gaza, effectively endorsing its ethnic cleansing, a process of displacement is already advancing in Area B as West Bank Palestinians come under pressure from settlers and their far-right political backers in Israel.
In one section of Area B in the arid desert hills between Bethlehem and the Dead Sea near the Israeli settlement of Tko’a all evidence of Bedouin who once lived there appears to have been erased, while in a second area those that remain are being harassed by settler violence.
In a landscape of deep wadis and dusty limestone escarpments, Bedouin shepherds until recently grazed flocks on the low-lying plants that appear in the winter months, or on seasonally cultivated forage crops in the flat valley bottoms.
Valleys that once sustained groups of Bedouin up to a few hundred are now occupied by ramshackle illegal outposts, sometimes a single house or hut, sometimes a couple of buildings, visible radiating out from Tko’a through the hills and connected to the main settlement by snaking water pipes.
People have always expanded this way, before the birth of the nation-state (which has positives and negatives, to be sure).
The difference is, people would usually marry each other, and the stronger culture would win out over time.
Cisterns used by the Bedouin for generations are now under settler control, while new settler cultivation, largely of olive trees fed by the water pipes, is replacing grazing for sheep.
According to Yoni Mizrachi, a researcher for the settlement monitoring group Peace Now, much of the emptying of this area near Tko’a took place in the immediate aftermath of the Hamas attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, an event that supercharged settler activity on the West Bank.
With it has gone a unique culture in the hills, which until only a handful of years ago seemed inseparable from the landscape.
“You can see how empty it is except for a few outposts,” Mizrachi said, adding that while these illegal outposts framed their activity as “farming” these shacks in reality represented an effort to take control of large rural areas that had succeeded even in the absence of the Israeli military.
“In 2024 I counted 59 new illegal outposts,” said Mizrachi, referring to all of the West Bank. “It was a record year. A new one every week. Before, you might see between zero and 10 to a dozen in an average year.”
It is an effort that has been supported by the building of new illegal roads which, in the area east of Tko’a, have been bulldozed into the hills. “The Bedouin here are the weakest and most vulnerable of the Palestinian communities and they are being displaced as communities and made homeless,” Mizrachi said.
This total annexation thing is going to be a bigger project than Trump thinks.
We’re getting some serious Iraq war vibes.
Remember the Iraq war, guys?
This is going to suffocate any attempts at trying to start a war with the Chinese.
Israeli forces are storming multiple locations in West Bank.

Another interesting instance of bloody Jewish history repeating. The Samarian temple on Mount Gerizim (in what is now called Nablus) was where the original Jewish polytheism was long practiced, Yahweh being there venerated alongside his consort Asherah and other Semitic deities. The monotheistic Yahweh cult is a much later invention of the rival Jerusalem Temple priesthood. Despite its pretended great antiquity, no evidence has yet been uncovered of the Torah cult being widely practiced in the so-called holy land until the second century before the Common Era.
With military aid from his ally Rome, the Hasmonean king in Jerusalem, John Hyrcanus, leveled Shechem (Nablus) and its ancient temple, when its inhabitants rejected the Yahweh cult in 128 BCE. The Hasmonean Dynasty is largely overlooked today because it does not fit in with the rigid, politically correct narrative of perpetual Jewish victimhood. Descended from the Maccabees, who had finally abolished polytheism at Jerusalem, this line of non-Davidic kings was the first example in history of a clearly monotheistic religion combined with a political governmen, the king being the High Priest.
The Hasmoneans initiated wars of conquest, ethnic cleansing, and forced conversion to this novel Judaism. Edom (now the Gaza Strip), the southern coastal cities of the Phoenicians and Syrians, was added to the kingdom in 125 BCE, the Galilee soon thereafter. Frustrated by their refusal to accept Jerusalem’s religion, Hyrcanus’ son Alexander Jannaeus destroyed the cities of Pella, Samaria, Gaza, Gadara and many others.
I have always felt that since the October 7th permitted attack, that all this focus on Gaza is designed to take the worlds attention off of the West Bank.
Its an old fashioned land grab that has been played out through the ages going way back in time that’s all.
When opportunity knocks…
This is just the opening salvo of an Israeli “scorched earth” operation against the West Bank. Using AA’s metric, I’m going to stop commenting on the Israel-Palestine issue because I already know what the end result is going to be. (Unless of course U.S. forces are sent to the region, then I will raise hell & smoke will arise from my keyboard. My congressman & senators will get an earful too, I assure you!) As far as AA’s new format is concerned, I wish you Godspeed my brother!
This is very evil
Nonsense. The Shah will return in a mostly peaceful Persian spectacle.
All parties will be relieved, especially the ayatollahs.
Just wait for it. And then I’ll be like, “Aya toll yah so!”
Noted.
So when goyim around the world start expelling the Nose…yet again (taking their lands and assets) …kikenheimers won’t whine about it or yell antisemitism!.
Right?
And if pissed off people begin to torture Juden on racks…

I cannot wait for the Arab world and Iran to enter the war against this Tumor called Israel. During the 20th century the world truly believed there was a genuine purpose for Israel’s existance. Not anymore . Now the consensus across the Arab and Muslim world is that Israels’ existence is intolerable
I`m just surprised that the Ukranaians haven`t figured out that all you need to do to get unconditional US support and weapons is to slip Donny a couple of hundred million US dollars.
The Sheldons can confirm this,Miriam anyway.
It’s way bigger than that…it’s a Globalist Strategy.
The Globalists are utilizing many different tools to achieve their Global Control System
(Both from the Political Left and Right):
Political Right
1) Antichrist Messiah Zionism (the push for a “One World Government” ruled by an “antichrist” messiah…which has been politically manipulated from prophecies of the Bible and Talmud…which translates to: War-Mongering against any middle-east nation that does not align with Israel’s expansionist goal of “Greater Israel”.
2) NeoCon War-Mongering & Regime Change: against any nation that does not go along with the Globalist Central Banking System (Rothschild Baking Dynasty). Some recent examples are: Libya (2011), Iran (1953), Germany (1945) etc.
Political Left
1) Cultural Marxism (Divide & Conquer via: gay vs straight, dark vs lighter skin, minorities vs majority, rich vs poor, liberal vs conservative, red vs blue, DEI program, etc.)
2) Cultural Degeneracy (they promote porn, easy sex, easy divorce, recreational drugs and alcohol, aka hedonism…which weakens and reduces the population).
Thank God that the Globalist Cabal doesn’t always get what they want !
In the epic partition of India and Pakistan well settled regions occupied by Muslims and Hindus were forced to leave once the lines were drawn. the death toll from those forced evacuations numbered 1 to 2 million. The refugees numbered 14 to 15 million. Same will happen when the lines are drawn for Palestine.
When that happens millions of Israelis will opt for the US and Europe , not for Israel. Palestine is going to happen because the entire region wants that. At the moment Israelis may confiscate and occupy but that is going to be temperory
The scenario you suggest may take place however there remains the element of total chaos looming limitless over the entire region. A hint of madness that can easily surface in Israel’s fanatical Zionists. Prez Trump most likely will say no to mustering a coalition against Iran, consequently the Ben Gvir element will respond by going nuclear against their deep underground plutonium processing facilities. The resulting radioactive debris will blanket the greater middle east and Levant. This will precipitate a universal Arab uprising against Israel. The nihilists will say to themselves and to the world, if we can’t succeed in creating a greater Israel, then no one will occupy it or what remains won’t be habitable. This same sort of logic can be seen in the endless bombings of Gaza into rubble.
I have an uneasy feeling that there’s so little time left for diplomatic resolution to stop a regional nuclear war that may (spontaneously) involve Pakistan, or rather should I say the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
Pakistan extended it’s nuclear protective umbrella over Iran.
If Isreal nukes Iran, Pakistan will wipe Isreal off the map.
Iran if it was feeling devious it could simulate an Isreali nuclear attack on itself.
It would be the easiest and cheapest way for Iran to win against Isreal.
