Take the money and run.

Just bring us up to speed on some of the latest decisions that have been made that have led you to this conclusion and led to some actual outbreak of coverage from the mainstream press.

Let's put E3 up on the screen.

This is some of the recent West Bank attacks by violent settlers.

And I think the reporting that you have done here, Jasper, not just on the bureaucratic moves that have been made, but also on this horrific

and escalating settler violence is you show how the two work together.

Because as you said, if you are not only having your life made extremely difficult by the checkpoints and by the dehumanizing apartheid nature of the system in the occupied West Bank, but then you also live under the direct threat of settler violence.

And now the government has passed these laws that make it easy for settlers to identify, okay, this Palestinian owns this piece of land.

You can go and terrorize them and threaten them until they agree to sell it to you.

It's not exactly free and fair sale.

And then they frame the whole thing as, oh, it's voluntary migration.

They're ready to move and explore a new part of the country.

You can see how the settler attacks work hand in glove with the aims and the goals of the government.

Yeah.

Well, and speak a little bit to the Trump administration context here as well.

I saw Trump made some throwaway comment, I believe it was last week, about like, oh, we don't want to see them taking over the West Bank.

But we also know that, of course, one of his top contributors, Miriam Adelson, reportedly gave him some $100 million plus.

in exchange for, hey, you're gonna let them annex the West Bank.

And it reminded me also very much of the many reports of how upset Biden was about Netanyahu doing blah, blah, blah, but it never amounts to any sort of action.

Do you think there's any possibility that he would see this brazen land grab as a threat to some of the things he wants?
