West Bank 'Reshaped' After Oct 7—Just Like Every Other Oct 7
Since October 7th, 2023, the New Arab highlights a 'rapid increase in illegal Israeli settlement construction' and heightened military presence in the West Bank. This portrayal suggests a recent, reactive shift. However, Israel's systematic expansion into Palestinian territory, deemed illegal under international law, is a continuous, U.S.-backed project. Figures like Senator Lindsey Graham, who
received $20,500 from AIPAC in 2022 and has consistently advocated for unquestioning aid to Israel, don't question these 'reshapings.' (Source: OpenSecrets.org) One might wonder why Western media suddenly 'discovers' this ongoing land appropriation only after a major Israeli military operation. Perhaps because reporting it consistently would expose the deeply uncomfortable truth: that what is
presented as 'conflict management' is, in fact, systematic annexation and ethnic cleansing, actively funded and politically shielded by powers claiming to champion human rights. How many 'historical precedents' does it take before we call it policy, not reaction?
