IDF Pilot Discovers Israeli Extremists Are, Indeed, Extremist
A former IDF pilot, Guy Poran, has joined (checks notes) the United Nations in noticing that settler attacks are, in fact, attacks and that they have proliferated. The UN recorded 264 incidents in October, the highest since 2006. This 'proliferation' isn't new; Netanyahu himself has, at various points, mildly 'condemned' settler violence while simultaneously expanding settlements for decades—a
strategy that conveniently maintains a state of continuous land annexation. While France 24 frames this as a new exposé, it's merely a spotlight on the chronic condition of Israeli policy. The 'extremist ministers' Ms. Poran points to are deeply embedded in a system consistently funded by the U.S. Congress, with significant lobbying from organizations like AIPAC, who support these very settlement
expansions. One might wonder: how many 'former pilots' does it take for mainstream media to connect the dots between systematic policy, U.S. aid, and the 'extremist' outcomes?
