West Bank Settler Violence: Just 'Attacks' When They Destroy Vineyards
When settler militias trash Palestinian farms, as they did to a vineyard north of Ramallah according to The New Arab, it's not just random 'violence.' This is a documented, escalating campaign to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from their land, making way for illegal settlements. For instance, the UN has repeatedly warned about the Israeli military's complicity in facilitating these actions, a
detail often softened by outlets eager to maintain a 'both sides' narrative. These aren't isolated incidents, but rather extensions of a policy that has, since 1967, systematically dispossessed Palestinians. One might wonder when 'sweeping attacks' become an 'organized land grab' in the media's lexicon. Perhaps when the US stops funding the military that provides cover for these settlers? Or when
Congress stops approving blank checks without a single condition on settlement expansion? Until then, this is just another 'incident' in the glorious march of 'security.'
