Intentionally targeting journalists is a war crime, and doing so on this scale is unprecedented. But over the last three years, as the world stood by, #Israel has turned its war on the press into a hallmark of its genocidal strategy, expressly targeting and murdering #Palestinian journalists in an attempt to silence their reporting from the depths of the #genocide. In both 2025 and 2024, more than two-thirds of journalists killed globally were killed by Israel — and more journalists have been killed in the #Gaza genocide, by far, than in any conflict in modern history.

Since Aug. 9, Israeli settlers have been besieging a Palestinian family in the West Bank village of Qusra in an effort to seize their home. For Local Call’s Oren Ziv, who reported from the siege, the army’s unwillingness to stop them tells the whole story.

The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal is joined by American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee President Jenin Younes to discuss one of the most disturbing attempts to abuse the US legal system to criminalize pro-Palestine activism.

In a case that Blumenthal describes as one of the most absurd and dangerous cases he's seen, a notorious Zionist agitator, Kammara Sumrall, filed a federal lawsuit against an older Palestinian woman, Janine Ali, for supposedly grabbing an Israeli flag she was wearing around her neck. Sumrall has accused Ali of targeting her because she was Jewish, alleging that the Israeli flag is, in fact, the "Jewish flag."

On Wednesday night, dozens of Israeli settlers invaded the isolated West Bank village of Tuba, wounding residents, burning houses, and destroying solar panels. Tuba has been the target of settler arson attacks before, but as Basel Adra witnessed firsthand, this pogrom appeared to be on a different scale.

MSF condemns Israeli military decision to deny investigation into the killings of our staff in Gaza | Doctors Without Borders - USA (2026-08-20)

https://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/msf-condemns-israeli-military-decision-deny-investigation-killings-our-staff-gaza
———

>> The decision makes clear that there is no prospect of accountability within the Israeli legal system for the killings of our staff, nor for the genocide against Palestinians.

>> This is not justice. Two years of silence — followed by closures that raise more questions than they answer — is unacceptable. However, it is the predictable output of a military apparatus investigating itself — a system which has demonstrated it is unwilling to respond to the extent of violations that may amount to war crimes in #Gaza.

>> ... We have always maintained that all elements point to the Israeli army’s clear responsibility for the deadly attacks. And yet, those responsible for their deaths have declined to pursue any criminal investigation…

"The Gaza war has also altered perceptions of Hamas. Only one fifth of the public now believes Hamas won the war, compared with twice that share ten months earlier; six in ten believe neither side won. Yet this does not translate into support for immediate disarmament. About three quarters oppose Hamas disarming before a complete Israeli withdrawal, ..."

MSF has over 1,430 staff working in Gaza's health facilities, including our two field hospitals [...and 2 clinics]. Our teams provide surgical care, wound and burn care, malnutrition screening and treatment, maternal and pediatric care, physiotherapy, vaccination, mental health, water & sanitation support, and care for non-communicable diseases... We are also assisting medical evacuations and providing evacuees with rehab care at our reconstructive surgery #hospital in Amman, Jordan.

...due to extremely volatile conditions on the ground — such as attacks on health facilities and recurrent evacuation orders — our teams have had to move from facility to facility and continually adapt our activities.

Palestinians are constantly asked to prove their acceptance of Israel's right to exist - yet every day, their own existence is being erased

August 18, 2026

Human Rights Watch warned in July that escalating settler violence threatened mass atrocities. The previous month, Amnesty International published an extensive investigation describing the forcible displacement of Palestinian communities in the occupied West Bank as ethnic cleansing.

Israeli human-rights organisation B’Tselem puts the relationship between settlers and the state more starkly: “Settler Violence = State Violence.”

#UNRWA’s over 11,000 Palestinian staff on the ground in #Gaza never left and have no intention of going anywhere.
Even after:
Being “banned” by the #Israeli government,
Being defunded by the #US government,
Being blocked by Israel from getting life-saving #aid trucks into Gaza, and
Surviving over two years of what experts know to be a #genocide.
