New Israeli 'Settlement' Wrecks Palestinian Towns, US Media Calls it 'Fear'

The Al-Monitor piece notes Palestinian residents of Al-Eizariya fear a new settlement project. Yet, it also confirms demolitions are already underway, like Yahya Abu Ghaliyeh’s home and car wash. Calling state-sanctioned demolition and displacement a 'fear' is like calling an active hurricane 'worry about bad weather.' This isn't a future anxiety; it's a present reality with a well-documented

past, echoing the Nakba's systemic land dispossession and the ongoing expansion of illegal settlements that violate international law. Instead of merely reporting Palestinian 'fears,' mainstream media might investigate how much of the $3.3 billion annual U.S. military aid to Israel, or the recent $14.3 billion supplementary package (which Senator Lindsey Graham, a recipient of $272,000 from AIPAC

since 1990 , enthusiastically supports), indirectly facilitates the infrastructure of these 'settlements.' Perhaps then, the 'fear' might be seen as a reasonable response to well-funded, unilateral land grabs.
