🔹 Al-Houthi pointed out that continuing this pace of air droppings of aid would not cover a single day’s needs of what used to enter through the crossings before they were closed

Israel's latest "fuck you" to the world.

theguardian.com/world/2025/aug

This new settlement plan is basically a fucking masterclass in how to violate international law while giving the middle finger to the entire world.

The particularly cynical part about this specific 3,400 home project is that critics say it will "effectively sever the West Bank in two," which really means, totally fuck any pretense of a two state solution. It's geopolitical chess with bulldozers.

Now, all these laws and agreements exist, they're clear as fucking daylight, and yet here we are watching another settlement get approved. Egypt's calling it "a clear breach of international law," but that's about as effective as shouting at the tide. It's simply performance art.

This isn't some random rogue operation, it's being pushed hard by Israel's far right finance minister as a key part of their wider strategy to cement control over the West Bank. This isn't some accidental lawbreaking; it's a systematic policy wrapped in ratfuckery and legal gymnastics.

So yeah, this bullshit violates a shit ton of international law, but international law without any kind of enforcement is just really expensive toilet paper. So, welcome to geopolitics, where the rules are just made up as we go and the real points don't matter fuck all

Here's a sample of Israel's dirty laundry list of international law violations in this latest "fuck you" of violations, compiled with the help of modern tools:

**Geneva Conventions (The Big One):**
- Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention - this is the main fucker, explicitly prohibiting the transfer of an occupying power's civilian population into occupied territory [Wikipedia](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality) [Amnesty International](amnesty.org/en/latest/campaign)
- It's classified as a war crime under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court [Amnesty International](amnesty.org/en/latest/campaign)

**UN Security Council Resolutions:**
- Resolution 2334 (2016) specifically states that Israeli settlements "had no legal validity, constituting a flagrant violation under international law" [United Nations](press.un.org/en/2016/sc12657.d)
- Multiple other UNSC resolutions over decades saying the same damn thing

**International Court of Justice Rulings:**
- 2024 ICJ ruling reaffirmed the illegality of settlements and called on Israel to "end its occupation, cease its settlement activity, and evacuate all its settlers" [Wikipedia](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality)

**Additional Legal Violations:**
- Article 84, paragraph 4 of Additional Protocol I (1977) to the Geneva Conventions [Middle East Monitor](middleeastmonitor.com/20221212)
- Article 8 of the 1998 Rome Statute (war crimes) [Middle East Monitor](middleeastmonitor.com/20221212)
- Violations include "expropriation; damage and destruction of private property; misuse of public property; displacement of Palestinians" [International Committee of the Red Cross](icrc.org/en/statement/israel-a)

The Guardian · Israel appears set to approve highly controversial 3,400-home West Bank settlementBy Peter Beaumont

Le Gouvernement de #Netanyahou ne dissimule nullement ses intentions : coloniser les territoires palestiniens et rendre une solution à deux états irrémédiablement caduque. Ce n’est donc pas par hasard que le premier ministre déclare, à deux reprises, dans une interview enregistrée qu’il est favorable au Grand Israël. #Palestine #Israel lemonde.fr/international/artic

Drop Site News · Netanyahu’s zealous designs for a “Greater Israel,” Trump rejects calls for D.C. statehood in favor of martial law, and Israeli intelligence’s influence in Big TechBy Drop Site News

Very much enjoyed this talk of Adnan Husein with Alana Lentin.

Lentin makes a good case that Zionism is where Western racial fascism and colonialism have always been headed. Clarified a lot to me about the hasbara "the West is next" and the unconditional support of Western governments and the support of fascists for Zionism.

They talk about many things, like CRT, the antisemitism of anti-antisemitism, and how anti-colonial and anti-racism concepts are used in service of the colonialism and racism of the status quo. Sounds like a very interesting book, good analysis.

At least 54 #Palestinians were killed in #Gaza over the past 24 hours, 23 of whom by #Israeli strikes on Gaza City and at an aid site near Rafah. Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich approves roughly 3,400 settlements in the “E1” zone between East Jerusalem and Ma‘ale Adumim seeking to “bury the idea of a Palestinian state.” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu advocates for an expansionist Greater #Israel. Israel sends a deputy foreign minister to #SouthSudan a day after reports that Israel aims to send Palestinians from Gaza to the country...

Clarified a lot to me about the hasbara "the West is next" and the unconditional support of the West, and fascists, for Zionism. They talk about the move to self-indigenisation of Zionist Jews, how anti-colonial and anti-racism concepts are used to justify colonialism and racism, IIRC. Sounds like a very interesting book.
