Israeli Ruling Party has just voted to annex the West Bank and seize the last remaining Palestinian Lands

In 2017 only:

Israel illegally confiscated 2,500 acres, 9784 dnums of Palestinian lands in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, demolished 500 residences and structures, threatened 855 residence and structures of demolition and established 8 new colonial outposts. Over 900 attacks have taken place on the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in by Israeli Police and colonists, the latest of which was represented in setting up metal detecting gates at Al-Aqsa entrances.

Settlement activity also tripled this year compared to the previous year: in 2015, 1,982 homes were built for settlers; in 2016, 2,627; and in 2017, around 6,500 houses were built.

Ahed Tamimi, the 16-year-old Palestinian girl who was arrested by Israel soldiers after confronting them whilst they entered her family’s backyard without consent is still being detained by Israeli forces. Her mother was later also arrested whilst she was at the Israeli police station to find out what was happening with her daughter. This incident occurred after her 14-year-old cousin was shot in the head with a rubber bullet by the Israeli forces, who also fired tear-gas canisters directly at their family home, breaking windows. She is among many political prisoners, many without any official charges, both young and old, who have been arrested by the Israel for resisting the illegal occupation of their homelands. Political violence and resistance is not terrorism.

Israel also illegally occupies and thrives from natural resources of Syrian territory, the Golan Heights, as well as Lebanese territory, the Shebaa Farms, and has been doing so for more than 50 years. Israel has demolished hundreds of villages and farms, to which the lands were given to Israeli settlers.  The Israeli settler population has expanded to over 20,000.

Currently, Israel is constructing 3122 residential units and is to build 300,000 new houses in East Jerusalem, expanding about 60 colonies. About 600,000 Israelis live in over 230 illegal settlements in internationally recognised Palestinian lands.
