      You also know that Israeli settlers do not represent Israelis in general, right ?

      same goes for the Hamas who do not represent all palestine people…

        It doesn’t matter. The settlers are protected and aided by the government. In an apartheid state where only 64% of the population is allowed to vote, all those who vote this government in are responsible.

          So by your logic every death in Gaza is completely fine, since the Palestinians in Gaza voted them in, about 20 years ago, and the Hamas committed a massacre on 7th October.

            No, not at all. They aren’t voted in and half the population of gaza is children, 67% are under the age of 24. Additionally, hamas is a response to apartheid and genocide. Hamas is Israel’s fault. You may find ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity acceptable, but I do not and will never.

              So you find Israel to be justified after getting attacked by Hamas, with several rapes and murders of innocent civilians, children included?

                You know for every Israeli civilian there are a couple of times more civilian casualties on the Palestinian side.

                And I do agree with the other comment that Hamas is in a way in power because of the oppression and ill treatment of the Palestinians.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The tiny settlement overlooking the Bedouin village of Ein Rashash is named “Angels of Peace”, but, says Sliman al-Zawahri, its residents have visited only violence, fear and despair on his family.

    This week the Bedouin community packed up most of their belongings and drove all the women, children and elderly people from the West Bank ridge they had called home for nearly four decades, perched above a spring and beside an archaeological site.

    Men from Angels of Peace are part of a broad, violent and very successful political project to expand Israeli control of the West Bank that has accelerated, say activists, since the 7 October attacks by Hamas launched a war with Israel.

    “This has been the most successful land-grab strategy since 1967,” said Yehuda Shaul, a prominent activist who is director of the Israeli Center for Public Affairs thinktank, and a founder of Breaking the Silence, an NGO that exposes military abuses in occupied areas.

    Along with demolitions, evictions and restrictions on movement and construction, the attacks on herders created “a coercive environment that contributes to displacement that may amount to forcible transfer, a grave breach of the Fourth Geneva convention”.

    In the most extreme cases, villagers are so frightened of travelling on roads controlled by settlers that Israeli activists from groups that try to protect Bedouin communities – living with them, walking with them as they herd flocks and documenting abuses – are bringing them food and water.
