Gun in hand, the Israeli settler tells the Palestinian: I will kill you
Gun in hand, the Israeli settler tells the Palestinian: I will kill you
Palestinians in the West Bank say they are being driven from their homes by a campaign of terror waged by armed civilians determined to take their land
The girls, aged 14 to 16, have come for settler training to learn how to occupy Palestinian land — breaking international law. “God promised us this land and told us if you don’t take it, bad people will try and take it and you will have a war,” says Emuna Billa, 19, one of the camp supervisors. “Why do we have a war in Gaza? Because we don’t take Gaza.”
Their guru is Daniella Weiss, a 79-year-old grandmother in a long skirt and patterned headscarf. Founder of the Nachala or Homeland movement, she has been setting up illegal settlements for 49 years and was recently put under international sanctions. “You will be the new emissaries,” she tells the 50 or so girls at the camp. “I call it redeeming, not settling and this is our duty.”
She unfurls a map of Israel and the Palestinian territories dotted with vivid pink house symbols to represent existing and proposed Jewish settlements. Not only are these all across the West Bank, but also in Gaza. Already 674 people have signed up for beachside plots there, she tells me, and “many more want to join”. When someone asks her about settling Lebanon she smiles and says, “Yes, there too”.

The Sunday Times is a British Sunday newspaper whose circulation makes it the largest in Britain's quality press market category. It was founded in 1821 as The New Observer. It is published by Times Newspapers Ltd, a subsidiary of News UK (formerly News International), which is owned by News Corp. Times Newspapers also publishes The Times.
News Corp being Rupert Murdoch's company, the same one that controls Fox News and the WSJ in the US, and The Sun in the UK. Any News Corp property should be rated very poorly.
These guys were behind most of the Brexit lies and supported the Brexiters themselves, which were a Far-Right movement by European standards (literally nobody other than a handful of Far-Right parties in the EU ever supported leaving the EU, and that's without going into the whole "rabbid racist" anti-immigrant speech from these guys which was very much the same kind of thing Trump spews about "Mexicans")
Calling them "Right-Center" is hilariously rightwards biased (the idea that these guys are "moderates" is physically a ROFL kind of idea), and saying they have "High Credibility" is Narnia-level fantasism.
And yet, we keep getting this bot trying to shove down our throats this ridiculous pro-far-right propagandistic take on reality as the "trust gatekeeper" guarding us against fake news: it really says all that needs being said about the ethics and honesty of the moderators that approved this crap.
