This week: A pattern of Israeli arrest raids resulting in the death of Palestinians continues, as do housing problems in Tel Aviv, resistance against the separation wall, and settlement construction in occupied Palestinian territory.

From a Jenin funeral to settlement construction: A week in photos - September 11-18

Palestinian mourners carry the body of Islam Tubasi during his funeral at Jenin refugee camp near the West Bank City of Jenin, September 17, 2013. Tubasi was killed and five others injured in clashes early September 17 between Palestinians and Israeli forces in Jenin refugee camp after they raided the camp and broke into the home of Tubasi, a member of Islamic Jihad, to arrest him.

Monika Cahani, a single mother who has been squatting a public housing apartment for 29 days, with her two children at the ages of two and three, after not receiving a proper public housing solution, south Tel Aviv, September 11, 2013. The house, owned by the public housing company ‘Halamish’, stood empty before the family’s arrival. She now faces a police eviction. (photo: Keren Manor/Activestills.org)

A Palestinian activist spray-paints the slogan, ‘No Wall’ at the entrance of Aida Refugee Camp in the West Bank town of Bethlehem, September 14, 2013. The Israeli separation wall now divides Aida Camp from olive groves that once provided green space for the overcrowded camp, and the wall’s route deep into Bethlehem in order to encircle Rachel’s Tomb further restricts access to other parts of the local community.

Expansion and building of new settlement units of Beit Arye continues on the lands of the West Bank village of Abud, near Ramallah, September 13, 2013. All Israeli settlements built in occupied Palestinian territory are illegal under international law. (photo: Ahmad Al-Bazz/Activestills.org)

V1 Journalism against apartheid

Our team has been devastated by the horrific events of this latest war. The world is reeling from Israel’s unprecedented onslaught on Gaza, inflicting mass devastation and death upon besieged Palestinians, as well as the atrocious attack and kidnappings by Hamas in Israel on October 7. Our hearts are with all the people and communities facing this violence. We are in an extraordinarily dangerous era in Israel-Palestine. The bloodshed has reached extreme levels of brutality and threatens to engulf the entire region. Emboldened settlers in the West Bank, backed by the army, are seizing the opportunity to intensify their attacks on Palestinians. The most far-right government in Israel’s history is ramping up its policing of dissent, using the cover of war to silence Palestinian citizens and left-wing Jews who object to its policies. This escalation has a very clear context, one that +972 has spent the past 14 years covering: Israeli society’s growing racism and militarism, entrenched occupation and apartheid, and a normalized siege on Gaza. We are well positioned to cover this perilous moment – but we need your help to do it. This terrible period will challenge the humanity of all of those working for a better future in this land. Palestinians and Israelis are already organizing and strategizing to put up the fight of their lives. Can we count on your support? +972 Magazine is a leading media voice of this movement, a desperately needed platform where Palestinian and Israeli journalists, activists, and thinkers can report on and analyze what is happening, guided by humanism, equality, and justice.
