UN rapporteur denounces settler attack on olive farmer

Earlier, we reported an attack by an Israeli settler who beat a woman unconscious as she tried to harvest olives in the occupied West Bank.

The attack occurred in the town of Turmus Aya, east of Ramallah. Images showed a masked settler wielding a stick, repeatedly striking the woman in her 50s on the head until she collapsed to the ground, before assaulting two foreign activists who came to assist.

UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese condemned the attack. “For two years, the world has seen scenes like this from the West Bank. I wonder where decent Israelis are…?”




Massive Geneva Protest: Thousands Demand End to Gaza Genocide


Thousands of protesters filled the streets of Geneva, Switzerland, on October nineteenth, twenty twenty-five, demanding an immediate end to what they call the genocide in Gaza. Marchers waved Palestinian flags, carried banners, and chanted in French, English, and Arabic, urging global leaders to impose sanctions on Israel and hold it accountable for the violence in Gaza. The rally, organized near the Swiss Post Office and moving through the city center, reflected growing international anger and calls for justice for Palestinians. Demonstrators accused Western countries of complicity in the ongoing conflict. This powerful protest highlights a rising wave of global solidarity with Gaza and the demand for peace and accountability.
