Even if they did, there are way too many that would ignore it for they are too secure with the 'bread and circuses' or 'tittytainment' provided by our masters, to care much about what is happening.
Jasper - I am now fully subscribed, and hope that I will be just one of a large group to be able to help to provide a living wage, so that you can continue to keep the world informed about events in Palestine, the West Bank and Israel.
Late at night in London, so I will read your long and comprehensive report more carefully, and word by word, tomorrow. Stay safe and well!
I can't help but see the parallels between the language these apologists use to describe settler violence, and the way that white southern Americans talk about black Americans. The similarities are so stark. It takes reporting like this to help people understand these realities.
I'm going to share this with my contacts who are fighting VIAB. I know they've been able to reach some lawmakers here in VA and your work is the kind of information they need to move that needle. We must break the US --> Israel funding apparatus. Palestine must be free. Now and forever.
something that I don't understand is the questions of Palestinian resistance in the West Bank. in your reporting, Jasper, you've underlined that the villagers have no inclination to take up arms at all. meanwhile, the Israelis keep on insisting that the settlements are under threat, or that the Palestinians would wipe them out if they could, etc. etc. have there been any examples of armed resistance in the West Bank? I know that it's a more fraught prospect given the efforts to isolate and securitize the region by Israel, but at a certain point wouldn't anyone consider it? especially given the fact that the Israelis push forward as if armed resistance were happening. wondering if you have any insight/if anyone else has wondered this.
Glenn Greenwald did a great piece recently on how the term “terrorism” is basically meaningless, especially now that Ahmed al-Sharaa has visited the White House.
It's mind boggling, how the narrative is made up of lies and contradictions. All of it seems to be an insidious barrage of propaganda, one aimed at the world at large, the other at the population of the 2!n!st entity. Thank you for highlighting how that second narrative is so shameless and illegal.
Meanwhile, Trump in his random communications, is suddenly, and probably only briefly, pretending to support the Palestinian statehood. But of course he and his allies in government, know very well how things are evolving in the West Bank. Let's not forget, Trump lifted the sanctions on those settler terrorists, he 'gave' the Golan Heights to the occupiers, as you mention, Huckabee has visited the settlements implying approval... And most importantly, he has a sweet deal going on, selling all those US arms to the 2!n!st entity, being payed with the money he gave to them in the first place.
So what can we expect to improve the situation? Will the UN ever step up and send a peace corps? Is it feasible for any country that is less involved, to mediate or intervene? China..? Or is our only hope that the war with Iran re-ignites, and that the 2!n!st cancer gets obliterated, as Trump likes to say..?
I wish the whole world could read this piece. Keep up this important work!

Seriously good work, Jasper. Thank you.
This is excellent reporting, the sourcing, structure and composition of the piece - simply brilliant.
Thank you Jasper! It is incredible how far your "clubbing video" (no pun intended) has reached. People actutally start to believe what I tell them.

Here’s an excellent piece on this: https://harpers.org/archive/2025/05/after-nonviolence-end-of-peaceful-resistance-west-bank-ben-ehrenreich/

And the machinery doesn't end in Israel. The western elite and press and their allies are very much a part of it.
We’re all just watching this happen. Feels insane
Thank you, once again!

Great framework for the piece.
