TWIP-260215

Today we turn to a YouTube video that has resurfaced with renewed relevance: “Israel Does Not Target the Palestinian Civilians.” The video, originally uploaded more than a decade ago, challenges one of Israel’s most frequently repeated claims that its military avoids harming civilians. Through archival footage and documented incidents, it highlights a long‑standing pattern of civilian casualties in Gaza and the West Bank. It also exposes the gap between official Israeli messaging and the findings of journalists and human rights organizations. Investigations cited in related reporting show that the majority of Palestinians killed in major Israeli offensives have been civilians. This includes Christians, who make up a small but historic community in Bethlehem, Beit Jala, Jerusalem, and Gaza. The video’s context is especially important today, as Palestinian Christian leaders continue to report harassment, land seizures, and restrictions on worship imposed by Israeli authorities. Church properties have faced repeated attacks by extremist settlers, and clergy have documented rising intimidation in occupied East Jerusalem. In Bethlehem, the separation wall cuts Christian neighborhoods off from Jerusalem, limiting access to holy sites and economic life. These realities contradict the narrative that Christians in Palestine enjoy freedom under Israeli control. The video underscores how official statements often obscure the lived experiences of both Muslim and Christian Palestinians. It shows how language phrases like “precision strikes” or “human shields” is used to deflect accountability for civilian harm. At the same time, it documents the destruction of homes, schools, and churches that has shaped Palestinian life for generations. The contrast between rhetoric and reality is stark. The video argues that the claim “Israel does not target civilians” functions more as a political talking point than an accurate description of military conduct. It invites viewers to examine the evidence themselves rather than rely on official narratives. It also highlights the importance of independent documentation in conflict zones. For many, this video serves as an early record of a pattern that continues today. It is not just a historical clip, it is a reminder of how narratives are constructed, repeated, and used to justify ongoing harm. And it challenges us to ask: when the evidence contradicts the rhetoric, whose truth do we accept? This is This Week in Palestine.

On the right side of history

The BDS movement says “after weapons manufacturers, technology is arguably the second most complicit sector in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Palestine.” The Electronic Intifada’s Ali Abunimah speaks with tech worker Alex Mitov about how he decided to resign from Dell over its role in Israel’s crimes against Palestinians. On February 11th, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made his sixth official visit to the US since Trump began his second term. The visit comes at a time when negotiations are ongoing between Washington and Tehran over Iran’s nuclear program. The Electronic Intifada’s director Ali Abunimah takes a closer look. On the Resistance Report, Jon Elmer reports on the resistance in Gaza revealing a fallen commander responsible for a string of high-profile ambushes targeting Israeli tanks and troops in Beit Hanoun in late 2024 and early 2025. And the Electronic Intifada’s beloved Abubaker Abed asks Jon about how his early reporting on Palestine shapes his coverage of the Palestinian resistance.

Things a Racist Might Say / The 8 White Identities by Barnor Hesse

In This Episode First Half: In the first half of the episode, we comb through several statements typically made by folks who intend to distance themselves from racists but they end up sounding racist themselves. We examine the intention typically found behind these statements, but also how they can be perceived as problematic. Second Half: The second half of the show is dedicated to The 8 White Identities by Barnor Hesse—a supposition by the professor that segments different White identities based on their level of racist/anti-racist behavior. We give our thoughts on this insightful chart and share examples of how we see these behaviors played out in real life.
