Amnesty International's 149-page report confirming state-led ethnic cleansing in the West Bank is the latest evidence of what Palestinians have documented for years: Israeli settlers are not civilians.

Israel Bombs a Tent Camp. Wipes Out a Family. Kills a Child at Sea. This Is the "Ceasefire."

In 72 hours, Israel killed at least 18 Palestinians in Gaza: a drone strike on a tent sheltering displaced families, simultaneous airstrikes wiping out entire families in their apartments, and naval fire that killed a 15-year-old fisherman. All of this during what the world calls a ceasefire.

Had this been a US soldier, the incident would have been forgotten before her body was cold. In this case, the media’s treatment of the young Kurdish fighter unleashed a firestorm of criticism and sparked multiple debates.
