  1. Hate breeds hate especially when leadership approves of it.

  2. >The crew was being driven to the site where Musalat had been killed when a white car with at least four masked settlers began trailing them, according to the report.

    >The settlers initially “tried to pelt” the reporters’ car as they approached an intersection, but fled after the crew approached a Border Police vehicle, the report said.

    >After the police went to search for the assailants, the settlers, who had been waiting in hiding, ambushed the team, according to CNN. One of the settlers used “some sort of club or mallet” to hit the vehicle, breaking the window as the crew fled the scene.

    How easy is it to tell apart Israelis and Palestinians in the West Bank?

  3. Something needs to be done about these Jewish terrorists.

  4. “Allegedly [bad thing] by alleged [members of a non-cohesive group]” isn’t exactly a great headline. The article doesn’t provide much more detail, either.

    >”In each of these incidents, settlers struck in broad daylight. Yet so far, we are unaware of any arrests being made”

    I mean, yeah, that’s sort of to be expected for alleged crimes by unknown individuals.

  5. The Israeli invasion forces of the West Bank are bibi’s own Hamas. 

  6. >The settlers initially “tried to pelt” the reporters’ car as they approached an intersection, but fled after the crew approached a Border Police vehicle, the report said.

    Later…

    >After the police went to search for the assailants,

    Later…

    > The Foreign Press Association denounced the incident in a statement that accused authorities of turning a blind eye to the violence,

    Which is it, are they actively patrolling the area and searching out people when told about them like the first two quotes say, or are they turning a blind eye to it? Can’t have both.

  7. How about foreign aid to Israel be dependent upon the existence of settlers and settlements in the OPTs? They do more harm than good for Israel’s geopolitical interests.

  8. Just a reminder that Israeli settlers beat a US citizen to death last week and America has done fucking nothing about it.

  9. And after settlers lynched and killed an american in the West Bank.

  10. Absolutely shameful Israel isn’t cracking down on violent settlers and when they do, merely call it “disorderly conduct” that they then release to house arrest. When killings are involved.

  11. Super disappointing that they didn’t video the settlers attacking them. They literally had one job lol

  12. This violence has been “spiraling” for decades. Just call it an apartheid, lawless land

  13. Hmmmmm…beat an American to death with no repercussions, no discussion, no outrage. But heaven forbid we say anything critical of Israel.

  14. Again? Settlers attacked German reporters in the same village a week ago, just a few hours before they murdered two Palestinians.

  15. Is there a practical path forward for the West Bank settlements to be disbanded similar to Gaza settlements? 

  16. Not calling them “invaders” in stories about their violence…settling implies peace. There will never be peace in that place if we go along with lies

  17. Remember any Palestinians that choose to fight back will be labeled antisemitic.
