Middle East Eye on Instagram: "The Israeli government approved a proposal on Sunday directing all government-funded organisations to cease communications with Haaretz and withdraw advertisements from the newspaper. The government said the decision was prompted by "many articles that have hurt the legitimacy of the state of Israel and its right to self-defence, and particularly the remarks made in London by Haaretz publisher Amos Schocken that support terrorism and call for imposing sanctions on the government". Earlier this month, Schocken faced criticism from the Israeli government following his comments referring to Palestinian "freedom fighters". The proposal, which was added to the cabinet meeting agenda at the last minute, was endorsed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In response, Haaretz released a statement on Sunday, saying: "The opportunist resolution to boycott Haaretz, which passed in today's government meeting without any legal review, is another step in Netanyahu's...

Throughout the genocide, IDF soldiers have looted the homes and belongings of Palestinians. There are videos online of soldiers rummaging through boxes of clothing and jewelry in destroyed homes. In a Facebook group, an Israeli woman posted a photo of a plastic bag full of makeup, with a caption asking what she should do with the “gifts from Gaza” that her husband, an IDF soldier, brought back for her.
Eyeshadow palettes and underwear: these objects have intimate relationships with their wearers, and that’s what makes it insidiously violative to loot as a “gift” or “trophy.” This perverse practice of stealing Palestinian women’s personal objects—objects that touch a skin, a body—and treating them as “souvenirs” of conquest to gift to their wives is a form of sexual violence. The production and circulation of these images among the Israeli military is a tactic to perpetuate violence against Palestinian bodies, beyond and without physical contact.
