Q. What do Hamas look like?The violence in the West bank is due to the settlers and soldiers.
QAWAWIS, West Bank —
Jibreen Abu Aram was born on this rocky land to be a shepherd. He planted an olive grove, married and had nine children. He buried his brother here in 1966 after an Israeli tank round fell on their fields. But, he said, nothing in all his time in the West Bank has tormented him as much as the Jewish settlers who over the years have beaten him, poisoned his sheep, kept him from harvesting his olives, buzzed him with drones and threatened to kill his family.
Palestinians face beatings, fires and drones from Israeli settlers in West Bank
'We are surrounded,' a Palestinian in the occupied West Bank says. Israeli settlers 'come in uniforms so you can’t tell the difference between settler and soldier.'www.latimes.com
Before Oct. 7, West Bank Palestinians were already experiencing the highest level of settler violence since 2006.
Israeli settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank, briefly explained
With the world focused on Gaza, Israeli settlers and soldiers are increasing attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank.www.vox.com
Israeli settlers, empowered by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing government, have increased their attacks on and harassment of Palestinian rural communities since the start of the war. This is often done with the backing of the Israeli military, as Israeli soldiers stand guard, preventing a Palestinian response. Sometimes, the attacks take place with the military’s involvement.
West Bank’s settler violence problem is a second sign that Israel’s policy of ignoring Palestinians’ drive for a homeland isn’t a long-term solution
While the war in Gaza has riveted public attention, the simultaneous escalation of violence by Israeli settlers in the West Bank is not disconnected from the violence in Gaza.theconversation.com
Some settlers have for years harassed and attacked the Palestinians living there, often with impunity and occasionally with the support of Israeli soldiers. In the weeks since October 7, however, the rate of violence has significantly increased. It is already the deadliest year since the Second Intifada, and is getting bad enough for the eyes of the world to occasionally leave Gaza and look to the West Bank.
