This is so much to process, not in an "I'm overwhelmed" sense but in the sheer machinations of the illegal colonial state to try and obfuscate its crimes. I'm reminded of how Palestinians have been treading this ever-increasingly complicated labyrinth of nonsense and violence for decades. Thank you for this first-person snapshot into how completely insane life has been made for Palestinians and highlighting why we cannot give up the fight on the US side to ending support for Israel. Foot on the gas, friends.
That video of you and Um Saleh was lovely! What a precious being and I'm so glad she is okay.
This coverage is ESSENTIAL. Thank you for sharing your truth and the truth of the people of Palestine. May Israel be brought to justice and its leaders shunned by the world
Thank you for all that you did, Jasper -- you alone did a lot more than the whole of establishment media class in shedding light on settler-colonist ideology, which to me shows what Zionism in practice is all about; beside the moral or religious rhetoric or strategic justifications, settler mindset embodies the Zionist project, and it essentially comes down to barbarians usurping land through violence against the natives -- no wonder your reporting had such a worldwide impact. I was following your story as soon as it went viral on X, and was relieved to see you safe; it was also nice to see you appear on Glenn's show -- that interview was brilliant. Your reporting embodies courage to its core and is a stark reminder in our present times of what journalism should be. I wish it did not take for you to put yourself in harm's way -- essentially risking your life -- for the world to see what Palestinians have to live with; I hope we all in the West feel disgusted at our one-sided discriminatory empathy that has been fueling this barbarism for decades. I wish you all the best, and I look forward to your reporting on Substack and X. Stay safe, and keep being awesome.
"What clearly troubled them most, though, was not the attack itself, but my public accusation that they had led us into an ambush—an allegation they said made them look very bad." That's the ugly reality within Israeli circles, it's the public image they care about, not dignity or justice for those who deserve it.
That ending was truly heartwarming, I really hope this women, her family, and the entire town can finally live in peace, without the horrors of having to deal with savages trying to steal their land or assault them.
The fact that you Jasper was an enabler for all of this; the voice for the voiceless, you will forever be a hero in our hearts, much love!
Thank you so much! This is the other half of the genocide/ethnic cleansing that no one hears about! Any chance you recognized the gun the settler was carrying? I am involved with a protest at the Colt weapons factory in West Hartford CT. They have a $37m contract with Israel to supply I think mostly M4 rifles. I think Smotrich or G'vir has been arming the settlers from these!
Thank you for your intrepid and highly competent journalism--and for using your American privilege so effectively to document the dangerous assaults from Israeli settlers and IDF that Palestinians face in the occupied West Bank. This rooted specificity makes a difference.
Thank you for reporting on this. I feel worried for the farmers that are still there.
I’m very curious if Amishav Malt has any relationship to New York State registered non profits that are funding these settlers and their violence. Would be extremely damning to see it but not sure if it would change anything…
We're indebted to you. Your journalism is priceless. It takes moral courage and faith to do what you're doing and I'm extremely grateful. Happy Birthday!
Stay safe. There are such powerful and technologically-advanced lies strewn throughout this human tragedy. I assume you are in danger for bearing witness and shining light on what anyone with eyes in their head can see.
Meanwhile, politicians from all stripes - and their corporate/billionaire media masters - will tell me that children and old ladies are terrorists.
And we wonder why all of society is breaking down? It’s because this is Orwell becoming non-fiction.
Could we get some links or names of groups that are helping to organize western observers in the west bank? Came here from the chapo episode because I didn't see any there
Just heard your Chapo interview. Thank you for your reporting both here on Substack and wherever else you can report. There are fewer and fewer opportunities every day to prevent this grotesque colonialist takeover and ethnic erasure, and all efforts are praiseworthy and vital in that struggle.
Here's an 'interesting' detail from my end: After reading your previous post, at the end you asked to share, so I shared on FB. This was the first time ever, that I was flagged for posting violent content. FB did not just shadow-ban the post, they actually told me, they put me at the bottom of the line of visibility! I protested their decision, specifying the post was meant to raise awareness. And now I read, it certainly did! So congratulations with your breaking through that wall of 'look over there' the other way. (And congratulations with your birthday!)
Interesting to see how 'the day after' was before the arrest of that lady army officer, who shared the infamous prison video. Knittin'yahoo shamelessly spoke about how disastrous this was for the hasbara situation abroad (paraphrasing). So as I was reading your piece, I am reminded how, in a very schizophrenic way, the army is attempting to hold up their good-guys image for the world. I'm sure I'm not the only one who can only laugh at their attempts to convince you that they 'care'.
May Peace, JUSTICE and Freedom return to Palestine and the Palestinian people!

It was heart-warming to see Um Saleh smile again.

Unfortunately I’m not sure. It was a pistol, that’s all I know
Thanks! I believe the contract is for rifles only …. but obviously Colt makes pistols too!

That’s a great question. Something I’ll look into.

Thank you for your courageous documentation on the horrors experienced by the Palestinians at the hands of their Israeli tormentors. Bless you!

I am happy that you are home for your birthday. I am also happy that you have rattled enough cages and closed minds that Israel is embarrassed.
Could we get some links or names of groups that are helping to organize western observers in the west bank? Came here from the chapo episode because I didn't see any there
Yeah, thanks for checking, looks like they haven’t added them yet.

Let's hope the exposure and the awareness continue as Israel has begun its low key war ethically cleanse and aquire all the land in the West Bank.
Great work, you made a crack! It's a point of light in a dark, dark sky. But that's pretty good these days.
