Leaks show Chelsea owner Abramovich funded Israeli settler group | | Oliver Holmes - The Guardian - The billionaire Russian oligarch
Roman Abramovich, owner of the Chelsea football club, was granted
Israeli citizenship in 2018. He has been an avid philanthropist in
Israel, openly donating huge sums to research and development
projects and investing in local firms. However, four companies he
either owns or controls in the British Virgin Islands have
contributed more than $100m (£74m) to Elad, a group that supports
settlements in the Palestinian neighbourhood of occupied East
Jerusalem called Silawn. Those figures would mean the British
football club owner was the biggest single donor over the past 15
years to Elad, a Hebrew word which means “God’s eternal faith”.
Elad, similar to other settler organisations, has expanded by buying
Palestinian houses and using controversial Israeli laws that allow
the state to take over Palestinian property. Elad also runs an
archaeological site in Silwan called the City of David , which was n
criticised by European Union diplomats as seeking to ignore the
ancient city’s diverse history in favour of “an exclusively Jewish
narrative, while detaching the place from its Palestinian
surroundings”. [ak] | 22/9/2020 |

It never ends: another week of settler assaults | | Ta`ayush - Another attempt by settlers to raise a new outpost near
Birin (Hebron District) was thwarted; the Israeli army violently
quenched a protest vigil by farmers of the Palestinian village of
Shufa (Tul Karm District) against their land being taken over for
the sake of paving an access road to the illegal outpost Avnei
Hefetz, built on their land – an army officer was documented wildly
beating a 60-year old Palestinian; settlers have been assaulting
Palestinian shepherds from Deir Jarir in the West Bank hill range
for some time now, and harassing their flocks – Israeli activists
are needed for daily accompaniement there, as well as in Hamra and
Auja in the Palesitnian Jordan Valley; a Palestinian woman, 9-months
pregnant, was wounded by stones thrown by dozens of settlers at
Palestinian vehicles on road 60; confiscation of equipment, damage
and structure demolitions by Israeli army forces at Zif and Jinba in
the South Hebron Hills, as well as near Taqu’a (Bethlehem District),
Wadi Al Siq in the West Bank hill range, and in East Jerusalem
neighborhoods. [ak]

Despite COVID-19 Travel Ban, Israel Lets in 70 Evangelicals to Volunteer in Settlements | | Judy Maltz - Haaretz - Hayovel appears to be the first case of a special exception being made for agricultural field hands, who were not already living in the country. A spokesman for the kibbutz movement confirmed that none of Israel’s approximately 230 kibbutzim had obtained permission to bring in volunteers from abroad to help out in the fields since the coronavirus outbreak. As a matter of principle, Hayovel brings volunteers only to West Bank settlements and is not active at all within the so-called Green Line – Israel’s internationally recognized borders.

Cartwheeling Palestinian children and `educational` soldiers | | Taayush weekly report: - As in previous weeks, the army blocked the
Hares village exit, and demonstrators had to make do with short
speeches and a prayer opposite the barrier. As the prayer was over,
the demonstrators began to disperse. A group trying to exit the
village was blocked by soldiers who jumped an Israeli activist,
tried to arrest him, but were forced to make do with spraying pepper
gas at the faces of demonstrators who freed him from them. About
five small children from the village had fun jumping and
cartwheeling in front of the soldiers who continued to block the
village exit. When the soldiers finally opened the road to enable
vehicles to leave, their commander decided to hold an educational
session and directed them to block the cars again “until the
children go home”. A few minutes later the soldiers tired of their
mission, opened the
barrier and left the village.
