Notably: This is the routine of the West Bank, where Israeli settlers’ terrorizing of Palestinians is a daily occurrence, as ordinary as Jim Crow terrorism in the old South. More than 500 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel–the highet rate of Palestinian murders at Israeli hands since the last uprising of 2000. The video below is hard to view, even though it is among the lesser bouts of violence. It was released by B’Tselem, the Israeli human rights organization, with this narrative: “On Friday, 19 July 2024, around 6:00 P.M., Ja’far a-Najar from the community of She’b al-Batem in the South Hebron Hills noticed a settler grazing his flock on land belonging to the Jabarin and Najar families, which lies next to community homes. A-Najar called the police twice and was told soldiers would come. Meanwhile, one of the landowners, Nizar Jabarin, went over to the settler and asked him to leave. The settler refused, and Jabarin then tried to drive the flock out. Four other settlers arrived, three of them masked and bearing clubs, along with two soldiers, one of whom the residents recognized as a settler named Yedidya Talia. The settlers and soldiers entered the community and started roaming among the homes and entering sheep pens, claiming a sheep had been stolen from them. Some of the settlers assaulted residents who were sitting outside their home. They hit a man and woman on the head with clubs, while Yedidya Talia fired in the air and threatened the residents with his rifle, enabling the assailants to leave. The soldiers arrested Nizar Jabarin and took him to the police station in the settlement of Kiryat Arba, where he was held until 11:00 P.M. and then released without charges. The two injured residents were treated at a hospital in Yatta. None of the settlers were arrested.”

“you have to understand that establishing outposts is like therapy for us,” explained Yehoshua Mor-Yosef of the Setler Council. “It is the appropriate Zionist response, and it is the most popular action among the settlers. People almost go out of their minds when settlers are murdered, and the only way to vent the anger and distress is to build an outpost. For us, an outpost is a living memorial, and this is the only language the Arabs understand. They know that we cling to the land no less than they do. This is our best revenge. For every drop of our blood, they will pay in land.”

–Idith Zertal, Akiva Eldar, Lords of the Land (2005).

    During the week ending August 2nd, U.S. energy producers set a new all-time record for crude oil production, according to the EIA: 13.4 million barrels per day. Extractions of natural gas have been breaking records this year, too. It looks like the current administration is all-time the energy king. If OPEC+ would stop manipulating the worldwide energy marketplace by cutting production among the 23 nations that comprise the bloc, we might see a drop in gasoline prices. If only. … OPEC+ nations just may have become so accustomed to the profits generated by their manipulations, so I don’t expect much in the way of change anytime soon.

    The administration also raised royalty fees on crude oil extracted from federal lands, so more money is coming into the treasury. Of course, with technological advances in drilling processes, companies are concentrating on fracking in the Permian Basin, as it is more profitable to extract oil from already existing wells, so the federal lands portion of the overall picture is less and less relevant. Isn’t it great to have an administration that understands capitalism. How can the communism-callers among the FlaglerLive family deal with their cognitive challenges?
