Ethnic Cleansing in the West Bank: It's Even Worse Than You Think
Voices From the Holy Land
Israel’s genocide in Gaza is mirrored by an accelerating campaign of violent ethnic cleansing in the West Bank. Since October 7, 2023, Israeli settler attacks in the West Bank, supported by Israeli security forces, have surged dramatically. More than one thousand Palestinians have been killed—nearly half the total recorded over the previous two decades. Fueled by the Israeli government’s extremist leadership and its unabashed vision of Jewish domination “from the River to the Sea,” the relentless destruction - of homes, forced evictions, and dispossession - have intensified, deliberately strangling Palestinian livelihoods.
Our panel will examine this escalating Israeli expansionism, the forces enabling it—including the role of the United States—and the pathways available to disrupt and ultimately shift this deadly dynamic.
