For the IDF, there are no innocents on the West Bank
JVL Introduction
There is nothing new in this report. We know it only too well.
But Gideon Levy is undeterred. While it is continues to happen he will continue to report it, inveigh against it. Maybe one day the world will listen?
“While Israel was grieving for its dead and hostage (after October 7) the settlers were quick to discern a golden opportunity. With their sharp senses they realized that this was the moment they had been praying for all those years: a big war motivated by a desire for vengeance, under the cover of which one may do anything.”
And they are doing anything and everything with the West Bank has been under an insane siege since then, with random army raids, pogroms, and torture centres where people starve to death.
As Levy points out,
“All this,has happened with almost no Palestinian terror activity in the West Bank. All this has been happening for almost three years, without an end in sight. Perhaps it’s time to say, enough?”

First, there were no innocents in Gaza. Now, the IDF Is applying the same policy in the West Bank
October 7, which enabled a genocide in Gaza, loosened all restraints in the West Bank as well. Now the verdict that there are no innocent civilians has been applied to the Palestinians of the West Bank, too

Pure evil!
Yoav Gallant called the indigenous population ‘human animals’. Oh that stench of colonial fascist superiority.
We are a family of archeology and Paleantology. My own discipline is Philology. Cuneiform being my speciality. I do not regard myself ‘religious’ but I recognise there are things I cannot explain fully academically.
I have read and studied the Qumran scrolls widely known as the Dead Sea Scrolls.
There are 3 things in the Damascus scrolls – Wealth, Fornication and Defilement of the Sanctuary…. it goes on to say – (rough translated) Belial is loose upon Israel and causing them to fall/stumble. It refers to the Prophet Isaiah to whom God spoke with -”Fear and a Pit and a Snare are upon you, O inhabitants of the Land’.
It is also worth quoting form The Community Rule (1QS) to give an understanding who are considered the people of God – ‘Those born of Truth spring from a fountain of light, but those born of falsehood spring from a source of darkness. All the children of righteousness are ruled by the Prince of Light and walk in the ways of light, but all the children of falsehood are ruled by the Angel of Darkness and walk in the ways of darkness’.
I know many zionist slick to quote the mention of the Mernepehth stele which translates – ‘Israel is wasted, bare of seed’.The Damascus rule (3CD – ‘the children of Jacob strayed and were punished….and HE cut off their males in the wilderness….through the first members of the Convenant sinned and were delivered up to the sword..’ This should give an idea what modern Israel assumes is/are the ‘chosen ones’.
The Damascus Rule (1CD) -…’they justified the wicked and condemned the just, and they transgressed the Covenant and violated the Precept. They bandied together the life of the righteous…’ – Sounds about right regarding all those that justify and watch the evil this ‘Israel’ does. Yup the just are condemned as it is written.
Chapeau Gideon Levy! – and Haaretz for publishing him.
Sharing a +972 article in which Israeli economic researcher and BDS activist Shir Hever argues Israel’s “zombie economy” – based on massive military expenditure, foreign credit and political denial – is leading directly to the IDF behaving as private militias used to rather than as a disciplined modern army does.

The Dec 2025 article makes “human sense”, I feel. It gives an excellent overview of the interactions between Israel’s finances, politics and its hard-pressed and now despairing people.
