Any recent developments of resistance (armed resistance to be specific) in the West Bank? I feel like 98% of what I hear about is zionist insects gobbling up Palestinian land and acting like mosquitoes.

    I've unfortunately not seen any. Though resistance groups in Gaza do often talk about the condition of the West Bank.

    The issue is that the area is basically completely occupied by Israel, and the political system is subordinate to Fatah as the PA. Abass I'd basically an Israeli puppet so it's difficult for effective resistance to feement.

    That sucks. Well, is there any possibility of armed resistance rising in the West Bank sometime in the near future?

    I know it's hard to effectively resist colonial occupation when your land is almost entirely occupied by the zionists, but could an armed uprising occur in the West Bank, or are there other scenarios where the zionist occupation of the West Bank (and the rest of Occupied Palestine, though it's too early to tell) becomes threatened by resistance from outside?

    There are a few small resistance cella that I've seen being built up before the war months ago, however they were very early. I think that resistance in the West Bank is likely to build up over time and potentially accelerate with the death of Mahmoud Abbas.

    Also the more that the zionist increase their depravity the more it will result in an eventual counter balance. Though due to the nature of the occupation, I don't think we will be aware of a lot of it until much later.
