Israel withdrew from one whilst controlling it and imposing restrictions

People rightly condemn setler violence.

People don't support war crimes but people understand the danger Hamas pose for Israel and how awful they are for the people of Gaza and do want a terrorist organisation stopped.

That's not what I said, is it......

I agree you didn't say that.

Strange how some mishear whatever is said to suit their own bias or narrative.

Its so tiresome and depressing. There really is very little point in trying to explore anything beyond sloganeering.

I hadn't seen that article. It is terrifying for the Palestinians in the WB.

It led me to the Twitter feed of Mairav Zonszein. Will give her a follow.

Mairav Zonszein, a senior analyst for Israel-Palestine at Crisis Group, said: “The big story is that this is no longer ‘creeping annexation’ or ‘de facto annexation’, it is actual annexation.

You said it can be supported because of the October attacks.

“During my time in the West Bank, I repeatedly witnessed the failure of the Israeli army and police to stop settler crimes. In fact, on several occasions, as Palestinian shepherds and activists pleaded for help, the authorities either stood down or guarded the marauding settlers – to keep the settlers safe. And the culture of impunity for settlers goes way back. The Israeli watchdog group Yesh Din has been tracking settler violence since 2005, and they have consistently shown that fewer than 3% of cases of settler violence lead to conviction. More than 90% are closed without an indictment.”

This article is a very important read, especially if you think Israelis are treating Palestinians fairly.
