Israeli settlers storm West Bank village, setting cars and homes ablaze
The attack by hundreds of armed Israeli settlers on Friday left at least one person dead according to local officials, and was one of the largest such attacks this year, according to Palestinian officials.

It's estimated that between 1,000 and 1,200 settlers surrounded the village, and around 500 stormed it just after midday local time on Friday, blocking all the roads in the area.
According to Abu-Alia [head of the village council], the Israeli military arrived at the scene at around 3 p.m. local time, but did not stop the settlers from attacking the village. Instead, Israeli soldiers allowed them to raid homes, prevented Palestinian residents from moving around and blocked ambulances from reaching the injured, he alleged.
Israeli security forces had informed Palestinian officials that the settlers were looking for an Israeli teenager who had gone missing earlier in the day.
israel, the biggest terrorist state at the moment. F them.
And being enabled by some of the biggest world policing super powers.
Yes. And their already not really good credibility goes even lower by supporting such acts.
Technically, Russia is larger, you know, geographically
They're not really settlers if they are destroying the places they go to... that's more of a raider-type Behavior
They are ethnic cleansing terrorists.
"settlers" miiiiight not be the best word to describe that they're there to do.
All this hate saddens me
Hate to what? What a generic statement.
I too dislike things that most people deem negative. Hits me right in the feels.
Jewish people something something antisemitism something something Zionist bloodthirsty thieves
It's critical not to include "Jews" in that statement. Israel is not a race, it's a country committing terrible crimes. Jews as a race represent the entire spectrum of morality from saints to villains in the same way any other race does. A lot of Jews are speaking up against Israeli policy at great cost, some examples being Jewish Voice for Peace and Breaking the Silence, which is an organization of IDF veterans who publish their verified testimonials about the truth of Israeli occupation.
Judge people based on conduct, not on genetics or where they were born/reside.
