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.

    By international law Israel is the OCCUPYING force and the OCCUPIED has the right of armed self defense, not the opposite.

            El oh fucking el. Even if any of that was true (which is isn’t. You’re on the Internet, are you unable to look things up?), it not only doesn’t disprove the previous point, it actually supports it.

            Palestine is composed of Gaza, West Bank and other terrories.

            Israel is stealing land continuously from West Bank and putting settlers illegally there. It’s a war crime to put civilian population in occupied Territory.

            And I didn’t even mention the illegally annexed territory in 1967 and the murder in 1948 to steal the land (Jews had bought 7% of the land up to 1947 and stole more around 46% with the Nakba).

        Kidnap and murder are not self defense, but Israel commiting Genocide is self defense?

            Ask the International Court of Justice.

            Israel asked it to stop the process and claim there’s no genocide, but the court denied and will keep the process because there’s plausibily a genocide.

                No the UN recently wrote a report on it confirming that it is most definitely Genocide. The intentional starvation of 2.3 million people is very clear cut evidence there really is no debate anymore.

                    it must be nice for you to live in such a clear world with no grey areas. The 7th October attacks were horrific and barbaric and brutal and what the Israeli state are currently doing is at least as horrific and barbaric and brutal.
