August 7, 2025, Berlin, Berlin, Germany: Dozens of demonstrators gathered Thursday, August 7, 2025, near Berlin’s iconic Brandenburg Gate to demand the immediate return of Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza. The peaceful protest, held at Pariser Platz, drew German Jews, Israeli expats, and supporters waving Israeli flags and holding signs reading ”Bring Them Home Now.” Chants of ”Free the hostages!” and ”Am Yisrael Chai” echoed across the square, a symbolic site just steps from Germany’s Holocaust memorial.
Scott Mc Kiernan Presents zReportage.com Issue #999 Story of the Week: Published TUESDAY August 5, 2025: ‘No Mans Land: WEST BANK SETTLEMENTS’ by ZUMA Press award winning dpa photo-journalist Ilia Yefimovich: Palestinian communities are being displaced and dispersed across the occupied West Bank as settler violence, backed by Israeli authorities, forces families from their land. One community has already been emptied. The International Court of Justice recently declared Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory illegal and called for the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The UN also considers all Israeli settlements in occupied Palestinian territory illegal and has repeatedly warned that their expansion erodes the viability of a two-state solution. Since the start of Israel’s current war on the Gaza Strip, launched in response to Hamas deadly cross border attack, at least 1,013 Palestinians have been killed and more than 7,000 injured in the West Bank by Israeli forces and illegal settlers. The UN has recorded an average of four settler attacks per day in 2025. In many cases, Israeli forces are present during the attacks and fail to intervene. Settler violence, the spread of illegal outposts are rendering life unviable for Palestinians. Welcome to ‘No Mans Land: WEST BANK SETTLEMENTS’ .
