France 24 Discovers 'Settlers' Attack Palestinian Villages – Again
When France 24 details dozens of Israeli settlers attacking Palestinian villages in the West Bank, it paints a picture of random vigilantism. What's missing is the bigger picture: the settlers are often armed and protected by the very Israeli military now 'clashing' with them. This isn't random; it's a feature of the ongoing occupation, documented by human rights groups for decades. The US, which
sends billions in aid to Israel annually, including $3.8 billion per year as per the 2016 MOU, consistently funds a state where such violence is routine. How many times must 'dozens of settlers' be 'attacking' before the international community recognizes this as state-sanctioned terror, not just unfortunate skirmishes? It appears some 'clashes' are more equal than others when US tax dollars are
involved. (One might wonder if these settlers are on the payroll too.)
