It’s estimated that between 1,000 and 1,200 settlers surrounded the village, and around 500 stormed it just after midday local time on Friday, blocking all the roads in the area.
According to Abu-Alia [head of the village council], the Israeli military arrived at the scene at around 3 p.m. local time, but did not stop the settlers from attacking the village. Instead, Israeli soldiers allowed them to raid homes, prevented Palestinian residents from moving around and blocked ambulances from reaching the injured, he alleged.
Israeli security forces had informed Palestinian officials that the settlers were looking for an Israeli teenager who had gone missing earlier in the day.

important note - the west bank is not gaza and Hamas has never been in charge in the west bank. the only thing that makes this lynch mob feel justified in its violence is the race of its victims, and the only thing that makes them feel confident they’ll get away with it is that the state of Israel sent armed men to protect them while they carry out their terrorism. This makes Israel an openly-racist terrorist state.
It’s not a lynch mob. It is a genocidal onslaught for capturing land. This is not some emotional reaction. It is a decade lasting strategy of ethnic cleansing carried out by state supported Israeli militias, often directly aided by the formal Israel army in an occupied territory.
We only now get more attention to it, because of the 07. October, but this has been happening for decades and it only ever got worse over the years, because the US and western allies have actively endorsed this. They endorsed this by saying that this is illegal and shouldn’t happen, while singing off on the next billions of military aid and arms deals.

There’s something called the proportionality principle. Even if your claims are true, this would be a damning admission of crimes against humanity.
UN General Assembly resolution A/RES/38/17 (22/11/1983), page 186:
"2. *Reaffirms *the legitimacy of the struggle of peoples for their independence, territorial integrity, national unity and liberation from colonial domination, *apartheid *and foreign occupation by all available means, including armed struggle;
3. *Reaffirms *the inalienable right of the Namibian people, the Palestinian people and all peoples under foreign and colonial domination to self-determination, national unity and sovereignty without foreign interference;"

This year I learned that Israelis are inhumane genocidal monsters and should be treated as such.
Not all of them, but the IDF and government are abominable.
Generalisations are dangerous.
So is genocide.
No one is arguing otherwise but enjoy pummeling that strawman
Generalizations are what leads to genocide.
Are current combats causing civ 6 developers to consider new content? Find out how one conflict could cause the civilization of Israel have settlers buffed in the information era to pillage tiles, tonight, on Sick Sad World! 😈
Thats one entitlement program that can definitely go
And they wonder what sparked attacks from Iran, why people in Jordan keep trying to burn down their embassy. Israel as a whole needs to oust Netanyahu or else they will deserve what is coming to them.
Who’s to say he doesn’t have support? I’m genuinely not sure he can be removed.
He’s already demonstrated very clearly that he cannot be peacefully removed, he went to trial for corruption starting in 2016 and decided he was immune in 2020-2021.
Protest by Israelites are not uncommon by any means. Israel markets it’s ability to control narratives online to other countries, but news of dissent has still spread far and wide. Here is an image of Israelites holding up signs comparing Netanyahu to Pablo Escobar
Even some of the Irsaeli military officials are distraught over the situation
Anat Arbel, a reservist in the Israeli army who holds the rank of major, came down hard on Netanyahu.
“This government is fighting us,” he said.
Many blame the current government admin for refusing to reach a ceasefire or hostage negotiation for the 129 known hostages, and 12 hostages have been killed in Isreali Strikes. I say all of this because there is some, however small, opposition in Israel and there is a potential future where Israelites take back control of this situation and walk away minimally scathed.
All the people daring the MSM to call them “terrorists”…
Maybe we should just remind the public how bad the word “settler” is: These are state-armed violent militias whose explicit goal is to displace the indigenous occupants of foreign territories.
Terrorists at least tend to emerge in response to (real or perceived) political disposession. That is not the case here. The settlers are the most privileged class in Israel, rewarded for breaking international law.
And we should probably also remember that oppressors always have legitimate grievances to cite when you question what they’re doing. Nobody ever says “We’re invading this land cuz we want it” in the moment.
Wait, there are people upset they didn’t go to terrorists? Well, of course there are, but I was shocked a CNN article even used settler, for the points you made. It specifically invokes taking from the people there to benefit themselves, which I didn’t expect CNN of all places to do.
“Colonists” might be a good term for them as well.
Colonists has more of a controlling government connotation to it. The people stay, but are subservient to the rulers.
This is genocide to completely replace the original inhabitants.
“Land appropriators”
Why not Invaders? It’s not their land.
Sure, but Colonists bring up a lot of negative history nowadays. Without a doubt, “Settlers” was their chosen term in an effort to control the language used to describe them.
How about inmates? Let’s use that term. And make sure its accurate.
Children of god…children of Chaos more likely.
I mean, just take a look at the god they are the children of. Not surprising at all, really.
I wonder why we can’t just decode the term ‘settler’ for what it is:
“terrorist”, but with state aegis and pliant media cooking up anodyne narrative cover
Israel clearly chose the Policy Card that gives Settler units an Attack value of 5.
Armed Israeli Settlers are terrorists. Killing innocent civilians and destroying their property to further their political agenda.
Seems like a pretty clear cut case of terrorism to me.
They are state sponsored terrorists.
Never forget, Israel is a terrorist state.
And the US arms them.
So you would call the Black Lives Matter/George Floyd rioters terrorists then?
JFC
I would if they were doing that!
Did they kill innocent civilians?
And steal their homes?
They would need to be a few shades darker.
Genocide Joe supports this
What’s Trump’s stance on Israel?
Almost as bad as Genocide Joe’s. I’m voting for Jill Stein with everyone else with morals.
Trump critized Joe Biden fpr npt doing enough for Israel. He wants more genocide.
So does Genocide Joe
Biden critized the Biden admin for being to lenient on the palestinians? Biden critized by for calling for a ceasefire? News to me
He wants more genocide.
It makes almost zero sense to call him genocide joe on its own, but in this case it’s obvious there is no thought behind it at all and this has just become the knee jerk response any time Israelis do anything.
It’s more attacks from shills and foreign powers who want Trump to win.
I want Jill Stein to win. Also to be able to sleep at night knowing I did not consent to genocide.
Jill Stein has as much a chance of being president as Tommy Wiseau does of winning an Oscar
I’m expressing democracy by voting for a candidate that has decent polices.
Trump, however, lost by as little as 50k votes last time, because the electoral college is something we need in 2024
You’re consenting with all 3 choices, that’s the fun part
Join a radical militia if you actually give a fuck
Not true, I’m expressing democracy by voting for a candidate that has decent polices.
You’re being a useful idiot without a long term plan.
Its the opposite, nice projection. You’re a useful idiot for capitalist Dems and have no plan to change that because you consent to it.
Well, that and the fact that it’s true.
I want Jill Stein to win, and this election the two parties are historically weak.
It makes almost zero sense to call him genocide joe on its own
He’s the president and has been an avid zionist his entire career. He refuses to stop giving israel weapons and money, so he is Genocide Joe
You’re avoiding the actual point to parrot your same talking point. It makes you look like a bad faith actor.
You’re avoiding the actual point
That the man with the power to stop a genocide chooses not to? You’re avoiding that point. Genocide Joe is not a knee jerk response, it’s the only reasonable response, and will be his legacy whether you like the name or not.
Genocide Joe is not a knee jerk response,
By no stretch of the imagination can Biden be held responsible for perpetuating these attacks, or that these attacks even be a part of youre genocide, yet you still parroted it. Im not sure I could come up with a better example of a knee-jerk response.
How I feel about his legacy has absolutely zero bearing on how no thought went into you parroting your taking points.
By no stretch of the imagination can Biden be held responsible for perpetuating these attacks, or that these attacks even be a part of youre genocide, yet you still parroted it
He is directly responsible because he approves funding and weapons that enable the genocide.
Where did I parrot it from? I literally made it up.
Are you claiming you coined “genocide joe?” lol
You know what this sounds like? Anyone ever heard of the Tulsa massacre?
Waiting outside the prison just foaming at the mouth at the chance to kill those they think of as lesser. Those that can be easily blamed for any and all issues.
I am so fucking done with humanity.
Palestine has a right to defend itself.
But doesn’t get arms shipments comparable to Israel.
Even if it does it would be called a terrorist organisation no matter what they do or not do.
Quo vadis Israel? Like what the actual fuck?
It’s especially sickening that the IDF not only just let’s this happen, but participates/helps it along. If it was just a civilian mob that would be bad enough, but official support makes it functionally official policy. Breaking the Silence, a site that collects testimonials from IDF vets about what really happens in OPT, has one testimony that says, “The mission there is not to maintain order; the mission there is to enforce Jewish supremacy in the city of Hebron. It’s not that we soldiers are between a hammer and an anvil, [but rather] we are the hammer being hurled at the Palestinians by the settlers.”
