The Israeli government has voted to expand settlements at least twice in the last 6 months.

Quotiing the article: "The situation comes days after the Security Cabinet approved a policy to deal with settler violence and Jewish settlers' attacks on Palestinian villages. This was made after an important push from the US government, which urged Israel to combat these situations in the West Bank. The move will enforce the construction ban of Israeli settlements in Area B of the West Bank, and would immediately evacuate any settlement in the area."

If the Jewish towns in Judea-Samaria are 'settlements', then New York City, Paris and Manchester are 'settlements'. You can't have 'settlements' (legal or otherwise) in territory that is legally yours. Judea-Samaria has never legally been Arab. Not for one single second in all of recorded history, all the way back to … well, as far back as you want to go. Never. Not once. The land was Jewish, is Jewish and will be Jewish. This is the law. You might disagree. You can scream, gnash your teeth and punch your computer screen all you want. It's not changing things.

Also I question Jerusalem Post's intention to label these settlors as jewish too, when it was not important nor relevant that they are jewish. What's important is that settlors illegally went onto private land. When the settlor encountered barb wires which indicated it was private land, he decided not to immediately turn back and decided to keep on going. Then made the obvious lie that he was immediately attacked by the owners of the land when that's not physically possible. That would imply the owner was lying in wait, ready to pounce. Who has that time? So he clearly was not immediately attacked, he did something that alerted the owners and what he did not do was **turn back and leave the private land.** Then later his cohorts decided that it's time to attack the palestinian and his farm, likely with the intention to maim and kill.

> Also I question Jerusalem Post's intention to label these settlors as jewish too, when it was not important nor relevant that they are jewish.  A lot of settlers do what they do because they think they have a religious calling to resettle the land. I think the impact of religion in the region gets completely underplayed tbh by both sides. (Ex Hamas is just supressed and has no religious reasons for hating Jews and Israeli setters doing what they do have nothing to do with religion. Both untrue statements)

When someone tells you religion has nothing to do with this war, you can be rest assured that you're about to hear the most biased opinions imaginable. Oslo accords failed almost entirely because of religious extremism. No way to view that situation without coming to the conclusion that both sides of this war have religious nutcases keeping it going.

It’s highly relevant that they’re Jewish. No other religion would be allowed to do this in Israel, which is a state that contains multiple religions.

How is it not relevant that they are Jewish lmao Why are they even there? Why are they trespassing on some dude's farm? Why are they driving out farmers? The answer to all the above involves Jewish religious beliefs and identity

> The vast majority of settlers are not extremists Maybe not, depending on your definition - but (except for the kids who were dragged along by their POS parents) they’re all unquestionably despicable people, who consciously decided to violate international law, and be part of constructing a colony on another country’s soil. This is not 1948 anymore; they could have all chosen to stay inside Israel’s internationally-recognized borders, and lived their lives there. There was zero reason any of them needed to move out of their country, and violently displace the citizens of another.

Him being a settler, he shouldn't even be there. Their continued theft of Palestinian land is designed to invite incidents like this, so that the IDF and other settlers can crackdown further. It's a vicious cycle that could be easily broken if the settlers just f****** left like they are supposed to.

There are settlers who just live there on the land and there are settlers who get into conflicts with the neighbors. You might think they all should move if an agreement is reached but they are not close to the same thing at all.

Settlers shouldn't be there, full stop, most if not all settlers are there because they want to expand Israel with violence if needed, and they will tell so without shame, sometimes with pride too. They are also expected to be eventually used as a meat shield against the Palestinians if war breaks out (same reason they also happen to be in strategic zones), so most of them also happen to be Jewish fanatics with guns. I support Israel, have done so for 90% of their Gaza war too, but the settlers should leave, it's not their land, and their intentions go directly against a 2 state solution.

> Settlers shouldn't be there, full stop, Everyone in that land settled there at one point. So should no one be there? In this case I'd agree that the settlers should not be there, but it's not as simple as you're making out. > and they will tell so without shame, sometimes with pride too. I'm guessing you've formed this opinion after watching interviews with the most extreme factions of settlers. > most if not all settlers are there because they want to expand Israel with violence if needed Source? Looks like most settlers are turning up to towns that have already been established, and are not at all involved in violence.

“Settlers” is the wrong term. These are **terrorists**. Most settlers would put these heartless idiots in jail in a blink. These are an edgy group of shameful, delinquent youth that need to be jailed, and if Israel ever brings caning in, they’re prime candidates. As an Israeli, we see these criminals the same as we see Hamas.

The tv series Trafficked with Mariana Van Zeller has a really eye opening episode that dives into the Israeli theft of Palestinian homes, and the mistreatment of Palestinian people. Would highly suggest people watch it (the whole series actually has alot of eye opening stuff covering a wide array of topics). She's an incredible journalist that really gets into some tense/risky situations and meets/interviews dangerous groups and individuals throughout her work. She's got guts

I'm kind of curious with all of the name calling, especially "terrorists". Where are you guys all living that *wasn't* settled by someone? Genuinely curious where all of these glass houses are that can hold up under all of these stones of hypocrisy. I mean here in Canada everyone is a settler unless you're native. They don't let you forget that even as we pay billions annually. So I'd like to live somewhere that I'm not a settler, like you guys. Edit appreciate the downvotes, but I'm guessing you're fuckng settlers too since you won't reply. Lol f****** desperate antisemite hypocrites.

"Israeli" would have been way more accurate. When Hamas does bad stuff they are described as Hamas or Palestinians. Not Muslims.

SuperNobody917 5 days ago +4
Hamas and other groups are often described as Islamic terrorists. I would hazard that the ratio of the description of these crowds by their religion versus description by their nationality is probably about the same.

7thpostman 5 days ago -10
I would hazard that you're incorrect, and there's actually a pretty significant semantic difference between Islamic and Muslim. Hezbollah are Muslim. When was the last time you saw them describe that way in a headline? "Muslim militia shells Northern Israel" is not a headline you see.
-10
SuperNobody917 5 days ago +6
>connected with the Muslim religion, or with people or countries who follow it OED definition of Islamic. Pretty cut and dry to my eyes. The reason we don't see headlines saying "Muslim" is because technically Muslim is only used as an adjective when describing people and Islamic is used when describing inanimate things, such as terrorist groups and militias
6
7thpostman 5 days ago -2
Sort of. Connotationally, "Islamic" is much more common when referring to religious extremism — and extremists. But the point remains the same. When was the last time you saw a headline "Islamic Militia Shells Northern Israel"?
-2
SuperNobody917 5 days ago +6
The reason headlines don't look like how you described is because most people with any knowledge of the conflict know what Hezbollah are. Most people don't know the names of different Jewish extremist groups acting the West Bank so it's better to use a generic name for them to avoid confusion
