Please Note: This site is currently a work-in-progress in case you weren’t able to detect so judging from the lack of substantive data and basics on settlements.
Please enjoy whatever is present thus far though! Do bear with me & stay tuned for some good stuff which will shortly be up once I’m done with this dreadfully prolonged period known infamously as finals week…if God wills it, of course.
Cheers & ta-ta for now,

This infographic/poster I made gives you a visual of what the proposed settlement expansions in East Jerusalem will look look like. Over 15,000 new housing units are to be built. Feel free to reblog & spread.
an absolute MUST-READ for all you beginners to settlements out there!
He has reason to be this ferocious himself.
Are you one too?
Is all you want The Truth?
Then you’ve come to the right place. At least as far as knowing The Truth about Settlements is concerned.
The content on this site undergoes a rigorous selection process so that you are indeed browsing The Truth. No lies. No bias. No propaganda. Just the plain old Truth. Just the plain reality of the settlements and its impact on people.
An FYI, in case you were wondering or ever in doubt/question.

I’ll occupy your land. I’ll kick out your uncles and brothers and sisters and moms and make them refugees. I will not let you travel unchecked and undisturbed on your own lands. I will stop medical care and food from reaching you. I will stop you from traveling abroad and getting a good education. I will do everything in my powe to keep you subservient and throw every wrench in your way to delay/negate your ability to be free.
And after all that if you even dream of bypassing my mighty favor and declaring independence from my tyranny without first asking me and getting my blessing, then I will condemn you for even dreaming. I will make sure that you are told clearly that you are a worthless piece of shit and your value is that of nothing more than a slave. Forever. You are nothing. And I will remind you of that everyday.
signed,
Israel

They were passing around a bottle of wine, toasting the holiday, nothing out of the ordinary. I noticed a Palestinian woman walking along the shut-down stores. A group of settlers were walking in the middle of the street in the opposite direction when one of them took a step towards her. I instinctually raised the camera. She didn’t scream or stop, she hurried up the street and vanished around the corner. I was left angered and saddened — as if the wine hit me.” — Rina Castelnuovo for The New York Times
Imagine Canadians came into the USA and demolished American homes and whole American villages to make space for Canadian villages. These Canadian villages would be for Canadians only. There are also Canadian-only roads connecting the Canadian-only villages, and if Americans trespassed onto them (this is still American land, remember), they would be shot.
These Canadian villages are right next to American villages, and the Canadians who live in these villages — which are illegal under international law — are violent and hate Americans, freely carry guns and regularly attack, harass, and sometimes kill Americans — remember, we are still on American soil.
Let’s not forget the Americans who are now homeless because of the illegal demolitions of their homes, whose homes have been passed on from generation to generation, spanning over 100 years.
Now replace Canada with Israel and USA with Palestinian lands — although a very simplistic comparison — and you have reality, except Palestine isn’t a country, the USA is.
This is how Palestinians live. In fear of attack by intruders who stole their land and harass them. On their own land.
