The bombing of the Gaza strip by Israel might have finished, but the repression of Palestinian people in the occupied territories continues. Israel has increased its settlement budget by 600% this year, money that is mostly spent on expanding illegal settlements inside the occupied West Bank. Meanwhile, Palestinian parlamentarian Khalida Jarrar is continuing her protests against an attempt by Israel to deport and isolate her. A day long hunger strike was declared by Palestinian prisoners to mourn the death in custody of Raed al-Jabari. A protest and picket of a Melbourne based Israeli arm supplier is planned for early October.
