גניבת חיות משק של פלסטינים הפכה לחלק משגרת האלימות והנישול שמקדמת ישראל בגדה המערבית, באמצעות הצבא ומיליציות מתנחלים. מתחילת 2026 ועד סוף חודש מאי תועדו 17 מקרים של גניבת חיות משק מרועים פלסטינים. בלפחות שמונה מהמקרים חיילים אבטחו את המתנחלים במהלך הגניבה, ואף פיזרו בירי ובגז מדמיע תושבים שניסו להגן על רכושם. לאחר שישראל דחקה וגירשה את הרועים הפלסטינים ממרבית שטחי המרעה הפתוחים כדי להשתלט על האדמות, נאלצו הרועים להעביר את העדרים אל תוך הכפרים. אולם גם בתוך הכפרים ואפילו בחצרות בתיהם, העדרים אינם מוגנים, ומקור פרנסתם של הרועים עלול להיגזל בכל רגע. ערכו של עדר צאן עשוי להגיע למאות אלפי שקלים והוא משמש לרוב כמקור פרנסה יחיד למספר משפחות. האיום המתמיד על הרועים, לצד מניעת הגישה למרעה והאלימות הגוברת, הופכים את גידול הצאן לכמעט בלתי אפשרי ומאלצים מגדלים רבים למכור את עדריהם. הפלישות האלימות לכפרים וההשתלטות על מקורות המחיה הן חלק מרכזי בטיהור אתני שישראל מבצעת בגדה המערבית. ל למידע המלא >> btselem.org/hebrew/video/202…

Today was one of the most horrifying days of my life as an academic. Walking through Iran University of Science and Technology, a top-ranked public university in Iran, I was struck by the devastation. Only last month, this campus was alive with students, bustling between classrooms. Now, parts of the campus lie in ruins, classrooms shattered, hallways choked with dust and shattered glass. I saw the offices of professors burned. A newly renovated building, where students gathered for programs, for socializing, for life, destructed. One student, tearfully, told me: “My professor’s office was still burning a little. That’s where I used to wait for office hours. To ask questions. To appeal my grade.” This is the same university that launched Iran’s Omid and Zafar 2 satellites, symbols of homegrown technological achievement. A week ago, one of its professors was assassinated. Yesterday, they bombed it. From sanctions to targeted killings, to the bombing of research centers and universities, there’s a clear pattern: de-development & de-industrialisation/ the systematic dismantling of a nation’s indigenous development, its industrial base, its capacity to stand on its own. We will never forget that as the American and Zionist war criminals blatantly target universities, schools, hospitals/ assassinating professors and killing children, and after 2 years or genocice, western intellectuals are still debating whether or not to pass a symbolic, non-enforceable BDS resolution. Photos taken by me, full report incoming.

BREAKING: The UAE has begun canceling residency visas for all Iranian nationals currently outside the country, including golden visa holders who own property and companies. Iranian schools closed. The Iranian hospital in Dubai shuttered. The consulate ordered to reduce to minimum staff. Repatriation running through Afghanistan via Herat. Iran International confirmed March 28. The IranianUAE portal verified the scope expanded March 27 to include property owners and company registrants with ten-year golden visas. Here is the insight nobody has written. For thirty years, Dubai was Iran’s back door to the global financial system. When sanctions locked Tehran out of SWIFT, Iranian money flowed through Dubai’s free zones, currency exchanges, and shadow companies to access dollars Washington denied. The WSJ reported March 5 that the UAE is exploring freezing billions in Iranian-held assets in these structures. Not the $530 billion Tehran Times claimed in propaganda inflation. Billions. Targeted. The arteries of a parallel financial system that kept the Islamic Republic liquid for decades. The UAE is now cauterising those arteries with visa cancellations and asset freezes. Iran built two financial operating systems. The first was the Dubai back door: dollar-denominated, SWIFT-adjacent, running through free zones and golden visa holders who served as nodes in a sanctions-evasion network. The second is the Hormuz front door: yuan-denominated, CIPS-routed, running through the Larak toll regime being codified into law. The war is destroying the first and accelerating the second simultaneously. The dollar back door is closing. Schools shut. Hospital shuttered. Consulate downsized. Visas canceled. Assets frozen. Every currency exchange that processed dollar transactions for sanctioned entities is a target. Every golden visa holder who served as beneficial owner for a shell company is stateless outside the country. The yuan front door is opening. The Larak toll booth collects in yuan via CIPS. The legislation advances. The IRGC escorts approved vessels. The system does not require Dubai. The system does not require dollars. The system requires only Iranian control of 21 miles of water. Iran’s financial centre of gravity is migrating from Dubai to Hormuz. From free zones to a chokepoint. From SWIFT-adjacent dollar flows to CIPS-routed yuan flows. From an architecture requiring Emirati hospitality to one requiring only territorial control over water. The UAE did not intend to accelerate de-dollarisation. It intended to punish Iran. But the punishment eliminates the dollar back door while the war builds the yuan front door. Iran’s financial system is being forcibly migrated from one currency to another by the combined actions of its enemies. Read this against the intercept count. The UAE has engaged 398 ballistic missiles and 1,872 drones since February 28. The nation absorbing those strikes is dismantling the financial infrastructure its attacker used to survive sanctions for thirty years. The flag of the Islamic Republic has been physically removed from the Iranian hospital building in Dubai. This is not a visa policy. This is the severing of a financial umbilical cord. And the severing happens at the exact moment Iran is building a replacement cord that runs on yuan through a chokepoint instead of dollars through a free zone. The financial geography of the Middle East is being redrawn. The kinetic war destroys military targets. The financial war destroys the infrastructure that kept Iran connected to dollars. The replacement, built from necessity at Larak, runs on a different currency entirely. Dubai was the dollar door. Hormuz is the yuan door. The war closed one and opened the other. Neither side planned it that way. open.substack.com/pub/shanak…

A journalist in #Iran: "Some proxy servers still work. Tehran is in its most sorrowful state. My childhood playground has been razed to the ground. Some of the districts I knew don't exist anymore. The worst scenario is playing out."

Yesterday, it was difficult to watch two Americans debate who has a claim on our land based on the bible. Let's have a closer look at that biblical claim and what it really meant yesterday and today. It is time to talk about Canaan. open.substack.com/pub/abouja…
