Summary

Israeli settlers in the West Bank, emboldened by Trump’s return and a far-right Israeli government, are pushing for formal sovereignty over the territory.

Settlement activity has surged to record levels under Prime Minister Netanyahu, with nearly 6,000 acres designated as state land in 2024 and dozens of new outposts established.

While settlers see this as fulfilling Biblical claims, Palestinians view it as erasing hopes for a future state.

Critics warn annexation could jeopardize regional stability and U.S.-brokered normalization efforts, such as those with Saudi Arabia.

    The “a vote for Kamala is a vote for genocide” people were literally saying before the election that Palestinian genocide cannot get worse because genocide is genocide.

    So I guess this isn’t worse?

      The real problem is that our own unconscious “normalizes” whatever is established,

      including gaslighting.

      WHEN gaslighting becomes the frame of reference

      … THEN ideological-rabies has the authority to rule the world.

      THEREFORE denormalizing gaslighting is a survival-of-any-civil-rights requirement, that modern-world’s “journalism” abandoned.

      So, if the “journalism” corporations abandoned denormalizing gaslighting, who’s left?
