2023 ‘most violent’ year for West Bank settler attacks, watchdog says
Israeli settlers killed at least 10 Palestinians and torched dozens of homes in the West Bank in 2023, making it the “most violent” year on record for settler attacks, an Israeli watchdog said Monday.
Numerous West Bank attacks were carried out by large groups of settlers, with the violence spiking after Hamas’s October 7 attacks on Israel, said Yesh Din, a human rights group.
“The first two months since October 7 were particularly violent, with Yesh Din documenting 242 settler violence incidents,” the group said, referring to the day when Hamas launched its devastating onslaught on Israel from the Gaza Strip.
“In these incidents, hundreds of Israelis raided Palestinian villages, setting fire to dozens of homes and vehicles,” the watchdog said.
And here's one incident from Israeli terrorists just last month:

@vivify saidYeah .. go ahead. Kill the terrorists and their children.
Remember, Oct 7th happened near Gaza, not the West Bank.
Should the Israeli terrorists in the West Bank be killed for their actions? Is it justified to kill their children?
But these are not Palestinians who put their children in the front line
So its not going to be easy.
But by all means, you want to kill then go ahead.
These West Bank attacks are the result of the Hamas attack in Oct 7th.
@vivify saidIf you think the WestBank attacks are done by Israeli terrorists and you want to kill them, then go ahead. All Im saying is that it is not going to be easy.
So you're saying kill the Israeli terrorists and their children. Correct?
In a warzone it is not an easy task to talk about right and wrong when one side is habitually violating the Geneva Convention by
- attacking raping killing civilians
- putting military hardware in schools hospitals
Im not judging who is right and who is wrong.
Just fight and kill ... have fun.

Yes or no: do these Israeli terrorists who are burning down houses and killing Palestinians in the West Bank deserve death? Would killing their children be justified?
@vivify saidIt depends on exactly who the Jews are killing in West Bank. If the Jews kill supporters of Hamas then they deserve to be killed. Otherwise the affected Palestinians can retaliate and kill them and their children if they so choose. Thats their choice.

@vivify saidnot nearly as one sided as you try to make it…

“From the beginning of the second intifada at the end of September 2000 through the end of September 2017, Palestinians killed 813 Israeli civilians, including 135 minors (children and teens under the age of 18). Of these casualties, 522 – including 87 minors – were killed within Israel’s sovereign territory and 291, including 48 minors, were killed in the Occupied Territories.
There is no possible justification for deliberately killing civilians. Therefore, international humanitarian law considers such attacks grave breaches that constitute war crimes and cannot be justified, no matter the circumstances.
The incidents in which these civilians were killed include suicide bombings, shooting and stabbing attacks perpetrated by Palestinians in populated areas and buses; incidents in which Palestinians threw stones at people and cars; and firing of rockets and mortar shells by Palestinian organizations in the Gaza Strip at civilian communities in Israel.
Various Palestinian organizations offer different arguments in an attempt to justify the targeting of Israeli civilians, including that “all is fair” in the fight against the occupation, or that the illegality of the settlements justifies targeting settlers.
These arguments are baseless and untenable. Attacks that target civilians subvert every human, moral and legal norm. There is no justification for the wilful killing of civilians, nor can there be. That is why international humanitarian law defines such attacks as grave breaches that constitute war crimes and cannot be justified, whatever the circumstances”

@Mott-The-Hoople saidYour link only mentions figures for Israelis killed; it says nothing about the number of Palestinians killed. It's actually very one sided:
not nearly as one sided as you try to make it…
https://www.un.org/unispal/document/auto-insert-208380/
See the graph. The number of Palestinians is incomparably greater.
I hope the point was made. When terrorism comes from people you Rajk, Mott, etc., Identify with....suddenly there's all this consideration shown and defense of terrorists.
Mott refuses to condemn the Jan 6th terrorists, same with Rajk and the Israeli terrorists. They're able to look at the terrorists and their families as people in these cases and are able to be empathetic and even defend them.
When they're Trump supporters or Israeli settlers, you see terrorists as human beings despite their faults. Remember that. It's also how Palestinians should be viewed.
@vivify saidYou could draw a comparison between the Palestinians being freedom fighters, rebels, fighting against the evil empire.

And the UN is the senate, stuck forever in commission.
Nobody in the normal world thinks murdering babies is justified. It goes to show how far down the rabbit hole of hate these crackers have dived.
@vivify saidThe critical thing about this is who initiated the terrorism. Who are the ones who violated the Geneva Convention FIRST. There is no need to go all the way back into history. A good starting point in when the UN and other nations got involved and proposed a Partition Plan that could have brought peace, if both parties accepted the deal. The Jews accepted and the Arabs refused. Subsequently the Arabs lost several wars and because they could not win anything and kept losing they chose terrorism... suicide bombing, hijacking planes, killing Olympic sportsmen, bombing malls, school busses etc etc.

They chose it first.
@shavixmir saidNobody in the normal world hides behind children and babies... you damn fool. the only crackheads are Palestinians. They are sick animals. They raped and killed women and children. Today they are still doing it to the hostages, and yet they crying for peace. No peace, and no mercy, until all the hostages are freed.
