Israeli 'Settler Violence' Just Another Day’s Land Grab
Mainstream media frames these olive harvest assaults as 'settler violence,' an isolated, regrettable phenomenon. But when 'Israeli forces' join 'settlers' in torching olive groves and assaulting farmers, as reported by The New Arab, it's not rogue actors; it's a coordinated strategy, honed since the Nakba. This isn't about 'security'; it's about making Palestinian life untenable, seizing land, and
securing illegal settlements. One might wonder at the consistent pattern: settlers destroy property, then 'security forces' arrive to ensure nobody stops the destruction. This isn't law enforcement; it's state-sanctioned agricultural ethnic cleansing. How many olive trees must burn before the international community recognizes the fire isn't accidental?
