Hi, I'm free. Beat up but fine. Police stole my phone. Settlers punched me in the face several times, likely broke @AdeleShoko's wrist and gave @the_andrey_x a concussion. They threatened to shoot us with an assault rifle over and over. Will tell the full story later, but for now, I just want to be clear about what happened. We witnessed two settlers locking a military gate in Umm al-Khair, blocking the only way to more than twenty Palestinian communities: trapping families inside, preventing students from reaching school and workers from their jobs, blocking delivery of food and access to ambulances, etc. It's a crime that the military has this ability at all--but last night, we discovered that random settler terrorists also have the key. We confronted them and began asking questions on camera, and they nearly murdered us for it. When the police finally arrived, they arrested Andrey and me and charged us with assault. The gate is still locked.

🚨 American journalist Jasper Nathaniel was arrested after he, activist Adele Shoko and another companion Andrey X, were attacked by Israeli settlers in Umm al-Khair, a Palestinian village in the South Hebron Hills, according to Shoko. Video Shoko shared shows Nathaniel being detained as he shouts, "I just got beat up!"

October 19, 2025. On the first day of the olive harvest in Turmus'ayyer, the Israeli Defense Force leads a group of farmers directly into a brutal ambush by armed settlers. These people need to be in prison by tomorrow, and the people of this village, and all across Palestine, need to be protected. Enough is enough.
Brutal settler attack in Turmus’ayya olive fields. Many injuries, including a woman knocked unconscious with a club and beaten repeatedly (2nd photo). The IDF lured us into an ambush, I have it all on video. Will upload as soon as I have good service.

I just launched a newsletter to help people understand the staggering cruelty of Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, and how there is a direct line from here to the massacre in Gaza. Please subscribe and share I’ve nearly destroyed myself working on it! infinitejaz.substack.com/p/y…

Hiked up a forest trail on Mingus Mountain today and got really great looks at a lifer Olive Warbler. A beautiful and interesting species— not a true wood-warbler but actually monotypic in its own family.

The black-capped chickadee joins the flock for #screenshotsaturday! Fortunately no new code required for these guys to get them in; I can just set configuration for preferences between ground/tree/shrub/feeder. #birdingRPG #GodotEngine #indiedev

Badger this morning hanging around our old ranch buildings exploring. In the Mojave Desert they dine on pocket gophers, rattlesnakes, and are particularly fond of cicada nymphs feeding on underground saltbush roots. Badgers dig them out. This one checked out the garage
