At what point does a country become too evil to be permitted to exist?
Jewish land thieves attack olive harvesters across West Bank
Jews' strike kills Palestinian in Gaza; Jewish land thieves attack olive harvesters across West Bank
Jews' attacks have killed a Palestinian in the Gaza Strip and targeted areas across the besieged territory, as Jewish land thieves escalated their assaults on Palestinian farmers and harvesters in West Bank mega concentration camp.
Jews' military vehicles also resumed heavy gunfire south of Khan Younis, while artillery shelling targeted areas east of Gaza.
According to the Gaza Health Ministry, since the start of the genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023, more than 75,000 Palestinians have been killed though the real figure is likely more than 260,000. A survey by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PCPSR) reported that thousands more dead bodies are thought to be under the rubble of destroyed buildings.
According to the report, the number of injured is greater than 100,000. United Nations agencies also reported that Gaza is now home to the highest number of child amputees in the world.
In the occupied West Bank, three Palestinians were injured on Saturday in an Israeli settler attack in Masafer Yatta, south of the West Bank, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society. One of the victims was shot in the thigh, and two suffered exposure to pepper spray.
In Beit Furik, east of Nablus, Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian farmers, threw harvested olives on the ground and blocked the olive picking in the eastern part of town. Local reports say a settler wearing an Israeli army uniform obstructed the harvest.
In Deir Jarir, northeast of Ramallah, settlers attacked harvesters and accompanying activists in al-Hara’iq, fired live ammunition to intimidate them and forced them off their land.
Three Palestinians were also injured in a settler attack on residents heading to agricultural land in Abu Falah, north of Ramallah. The attack took place in full view of Israeli forces.
During the attacks, Palestinians used stones to defend themselves against the settlers who were armed with slingshots and batons. Israeli forces also fired tear gas at harvesters, trying to force them to leave.
In June, 14 UN experts warned that the sharp rise in violence backed by Israel poses an existential threat to the Palestinians. stating “settler brutality has reached unprecedented levels this year” and “violence is used as a calculated, targeted tool to deny Palestinians access to essential services, agricultural and grazing areas, with the ultimate aim of severing the people’s connection to the land.”
The Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission recorded 34 settler attacks on farmers, land and crops just between Friday morning and Friday evening. Widespread attacks were reported in numerous parts of the West Bank amid escalating harassment of farmers throughout the olive harvest season.
During the olive harvest season, Palestinians experience more Israeli brutality and hatred in the region. The olive tree is an important Palestinian cultural symbol, and olive farming is a major industry in the West Bank.
Israeli settlers have a history of burning olive trees, uprooting them, and attacking farmers during this period.

Israel Regime’s Medical Blockade of Gaza Is Killing Diabetic Children
Jews' blockade leaves thousands of diabetic children in Gaza without life-saving insulin: Report
Israel regime's restrictions on medical supplies entering Gaza have caused severe shortages of insulin and blood glucose monitoring equipment, leaving diabetic Palestinian children at growing risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a report says.
According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, approximately 71,000 Palestinians have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes.
The report noted that patients face dwindling insulin supplies and shortages of injection pens, blood glucose testing strips and continuous glucose monitoring sensors, leaving many without the tools needed to manage their condition safely.
Dr. Ahmed al-Farra, director of the Al-Tahrir building at Nasser Medical Complex, warned that shortages of diabetes medicines were threatening patients’ health and stressed the urgent need to restore access to essential treatment.
Al-Farra reported that hospitals were receiving patients with severe complications from unstable blood sugar levels, some of whom may require intensive care when treatment is delayed or unavailable.
Without reliable monitoring equipment, patients also face greater difficulty detecting dangerous changes in blood sugar before they develop into medical emergencies, the report warned.
At a protest outside Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis on Thursday, diabetic patients and their families demanded that essential medicines and medical supplies be allowed into Gaza.
According to the report, the collapse of essential services has also undermined safe insulin storage, as prolonged power cuts, inadequate refrigeration and displacement into tents make it harder to preserve the medicine’s effectiveness,
Gaza’s Ministry of Health reported that 47 percent of essential medicines and 58 percent of medical consumables were out of stock, while shortages of laboratory testing supplies had reached 85 percent, further limiting hospitals’ ability to diagnose and treat patients.
Israel’s restrictions on medical shipments have compounded the damage to Gaza’s healthcare infrastructure, with 81 percent of primary healthcare centers forced out of service.
The World Health Organization (WHO) warned on October 2 that not a single hospital in Gaza was fully functional, citing chronic shortages of medicines and medical supplies.
The organization also highlighted lengthy Israeli approval procedures, noting that medical supplies waited a median of 74 days for clearance.
Gaza’s health authorities are demanding the immediate entry of insulin, diagnostic kits, monitoring equipment and temperature-controlled storage supplies, warning that continued shortages could expose children and other patients to preventable complications and deaths, the report concluded.
Gaza’s Ministry of Health estimated that Israel’s genocidal assault on the territory since October 7, 2023, has killed 74,396 Palestinians and wounded another 175,449, with victims still trapped under rubble and in areas inaccessible to rescue crews.
