They're doing both. They are also making massive posters with photos, names and addresses of student critics of Israel with captions like "Harvard's Leading Anti-semites," putting them on trucks and driving around town. Cowardly and despicable, using money to suppress free speech and terrorize opponents.
We're discussing how criticism of Israel's oppressive policies and actions is being deliberately and systematically suppressed in the West.

With all eyes on Gaza, Israel steps up demolitions of Palestinian homes
‘We can’t stand this suffering for long,’ Palestinian activists in East Jerusalem warn.
Israeli authorities typically require Palestinian residents to pay for the bulldozing of their homes as well as the salaries of police officers who are deployed to evict residents and secure the premises. Abu Diab expects the total bill to amount to $20,000 or $30,000.

Just enjoyin' my coffee.
I wonder where they got that idea from? I'm not usually one for making crass comparisons between zionism and a particular aspect of German history... but when my youngest son's grandfather got sent to Buchenwald after Kristallnacht, his great-grandfather's shop got smashed up as well, and he too was forced to pay the nazis for all damage caused.as if thats not bad enough:With all eyes on Gaza, Israel steps up demolitions of Palestinian homes

Anyone know much about what's been going off in the West Bank this week? Seen claims of fighting between Al-Quds Brigades/PIJ and the PA, but can't find any proper coverage of it, just xtwitterx posts. Can anyone find more?

There is ongoing settler violence in the West bank protected of course by the IDF. It all started because of this:
Since then the settlers have run riot burning Palestinian home is a number of villages and randomly shooting at people:

More people in the West Bank were killed. This is from Thursday (18th May):
Murad Dawabsheh, a 52 year old father of five, said settlers attacked his home and burnt his garden. He says they also burnt a nearby building to the ground. The building had served as an office, storage room and warehouse.

Some may think this is good news:
U.S. expected to sanction IDF unit for human rights violations in West Bank
However this from 2022 gives the impression that the above is more of a performative gesture much like a sticking plaster on a gaping wound:

And this from the Israeli analyst Mariav Zonszein rather underlines the situation:

Way they refer to occupied West Bank as Judea and Samaria says it all about Israel states long term intentions.
It goes without saying that Palestinians won't be allowed on the new roads or new housing.
And this article as well shows idea that if Netanyahu goes all will change is delusional.

But relevant to West Bank. The same kind of planning system thats been used in West Bank applies to non Jewish communities in Israel itself.
And this is being done to Israeli citizens.
Example of why whether a two state or one state peace solution is found what's also required is the dismantling of the whole Zionist system of state of Israel. This example shows how inequality between Jewish and non Jewish Israelis is embedded into the system.

And as second video shows they passed an ambulance. Pointed out in the news reporting.last night.
British did similar during the Arab revolt in the 1930s. Arab rebels would plant bombs on roads. So British would put prisoners on truck in front of convoy of army vehicles.
