Boy, 14, shot dead by Israeli settlers in West Bank amid escalation in violence

The piece of shit who killed this kid was shooting at a school, absolutely unconscionable. 

Time to send Israel another $10B

Shut down all trade with Israel...absolutely awful country.

Nothing will change because no one will hold these psychopaths responsible. Then you’re called an antisemite just for asking them to.

Israeli settlers also destroyed a school the same day: >A few hours after Aws was killed outside his school, **settlers attacked and demolished a British- and European-funded school for Palestinian children** in a village 25 miles to the north. >In Hammamat al-Maleh, in the northern Jordan valley, settlers used bulldozers to raze four classrooms, school toilets and the two playground areas into a heap of twisted metal and crumpled plastic, scattered with ruined books. >The French government, which contributed some of the funding to the school, has demanded compensation from the Israeli government for the destruction. >In the south Hebron Hills, on 13 April Israeli settlers put razor-wire across the road to the school attended by Palestinian children from Umm al-Khair village, blocking students from crossing since then.

There is literally no punishment for killing Palestinians. [https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/25/no-israel-prosecutions-for-killing-palestinian-civilians-in-occupied-west-bank-since-start-of-decade](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/25/no-israel-prosecutions-for-killing-palestinian-civilians-in-occupied-west-bank-since-start-of-decade) Meanwhile our leaders will only respond with "Israel has a right to defend itself" and label it a bastion of democracy with the most moral army in the world.

"Settlers" you mean invaders?

I find all the "they're just defending themselves against hamas" stuff funny because that completely goes out the window when you forget about Gaza and focus on the settlers who are constantly kicking people out of their homes, destroying villages, and committing random acts of violence.

Im so tired. I can only imagine how Palestians must feel

Settlers is a funny name for terrorist colonizers.

But it’s the anti genocide protestors here that are the main problem in Starmer’s eyes

Stop calling them f****** “settlers” - they’re illegal occupiers of a sovereign land; a war crime.

I have never in my life heard a good story about Israeli settlers. Granted, the evil is inherent in the settler title, but still. Never have I ever heard or seen anything that would lead me to believe Israeli settlers have a single redeeming quality among them.

Terrorists, not settlers.

Settlers? I dont understand that context. Arent they literally just stealing land and property?

"Escalation" ignores that settler terrorism has been the pattern for decades.

Sickening but not surprised, they are such a hateful bunch of people.

"Settlers." Interesting way of spelling terrorists.

Anyone else tired of these assholes being referred to as “settlers”? The land is already occupied. Thieves, murderers, invaders would all be more appropriate… Even “subjugator” fails to go far enough. At this point, KKK members in the US could be referred to as “unfriendly neighbors” under this bullshit logic and watering down of rhetoric.

Uh oh the murderers are murdering innocent people again.

Why do we tolerate this?

Careful, you’ll be called antisemitic for saying this is wrong. R.I.P to him. Taken at 14. Just Heartbreaking. ❤️

You mean Israeli colonists, not settlers. Don't use Israel approved verbage. Call them what they are.

“Palestinian eyewitnesses say Israeli soldiers were on the scene within minutes and did nothing to stop or apprehend the shooter. Instead, they lobbed tear gas into the crowd of students and villagers outside of the school, Abu Assaf and multiple eyewitnesses said.” No surprise there.

Here I go being an anti semite for saying murder is wrong.

'amid escalation'. Kind of glazing over how this is normal and has been for the better part of the century for them.

"Ok... but did he condemn Hamas?!" \-DNC leadership

Is settlers the right word?

~~Settler~~ **Armed Racial Supremacist, sociopathic child killer**.

Israelis and murdering children... name a better duo.

Zionists are raw criminals

It's sort of odd to see Israelis acting like Nazis

Taking land that people are already living on is not settling.

Colonist in colonies in annexed territory. Setters and settlements are the bullshit PR terms they use to try and act like what they're doing isn't a massive violation of international law and human rights.

Holy shit, a news outlet not using *passive voice* in the title to absolve Israel of actively committing genocide?!

How does the violence get escalated when the Israeli's never stopped torturing and killing people..?

One of tens of thousands 

dw he was hamas and had a secret laboratory of iran under his shoes

Let's all condemn this in the lightest possible terms so we don't hurt the feelings of western Zionists who feel SO unsafe lately

They control America with Epstein blackmail

The most moral army in the world sure love killing kids

Settlers = zionist terrorists stealing land

The kids could at least dress up a jesus statues first, before forcing the kind settlers to reluctantly shoot them as a last resort. At least then, the kids' parents could be assured of some level of investigation afterwards.

Kinda weird how I keep hearing about this existential war Zionists have to fight, but so rarely hear about "settlers" (c'mon... they're just unaccountable/deniable IDF, really) running into trouble. Makes one think.

What the f*** do they mean ‘settlers’ the word is ‘terrorists’

Escalating violence or continuing barbarism?

Who else would have done it? 

Terrorists are going to terrorize.

Aa those psychos would put it. Great shot! 5 billion award for great aim. Srsly are we ever holding them responsible
