As several of Israel's Western allies recognise a Palestinian state, Israel has accelerated plans for settlements that it hopes will make the two-state solution impossible.

Home to 2.7 million Palestinians, the Israeli-occupied West Bank has long been at the heart of plans for a future nation existing alongside Israel. The model is known as the two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and would also include Gaza. It is backed by most countries around the world.

But the construction of settlements for Israelis has reduced the land left for Palestinians, cutting their towns and cities off from each other.

Approval to build settlements has accelerated rapidly under the current Israeli government, which includes vehemently pro-settler parties that want to annex the West Bank to Israel.

    Watch “No Other Land”, the Oscar winner from 2024. And watch it with as many people as possible. Afterwards people might understand what we accepted (and outright supported) for way too long.

    Because Israel already thought itself the winner of their Genocide they ramped it up in Gaza. While it comes as the greatest price paid yet by the Palestinians, more and more people see the Situation for what is and that makes me hopeful.

    Stop the Genocide now and end the Apartheid!
