This has been going on for years. US sanctions three Israeli West Bank settlers and their outposts for violence against PalestiniansWASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration on Thursday imposed sanctions on three extremist Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank who are accused of harassing and attacking Palestinians to pressure them to leave their land. Two farms that the settlers run were also targeted in the move that is likely to increase already heightened tensions between the U.S. and Israel over the Gaza war. The announcement from the State Department and Treasury comes at a time of increasing friction between President Joe Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose far-right government has reacted angrily to previous sanctions imposed against West Bank settlers. U.S. officials — from Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken — have repeatedly raised concerns about a surge in settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank since Israel’s war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip began. Israel has said it is taking action against such attacks and argued that the sanctions are unnecessary. apnews.com/article/sanctions-west-bank-gaza-israel-war-hamas-57a673cd9836590856c8259ef7a895e1

Israel’s Occupation: 50 Years of DispossessionFor half a century, Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip has resulted in systematic human rights violations against Palestinians living there. Since the occupation first began in June 1967, Israel’s ruthless policies of land confiscation, illegal settlement and dispossession, coupled with rampant discrimination, have inflicted immense suffering on Palestinians, depriving them of their basic rights. Israel’s military rule disrupts every aspect of daily life in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. It continues to affect whether, when and how Palestinians can travel to work or school, go abroad, visit their relatives, earn a living, attend a protest, access their farmland, or even access electricity or a clean water supply. It means daily humiliation, fear and oppression. People’s entire lives are effectively held hostage by Israel. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2017/06/israel-occupation-50-years-of-dispossession/#:~:text=Despite%20multiple%20UN%20resolutions%2C%20Israel%20has%20continued%20to,9%2C000%20Israeli%20settlers%20were%20illegally%20residing%20in%20Gaza.

None of the Arab countries want the Palestinians. Iran wouldn’t welcome them either. They have been used by both sides for a long time. The wealthy Arab countries import labor from Asia and Africa to do their menial jobs. These are jobs that the Palestinians could do.

What happened to the two-state solution?
Settlers are Israeli citizens who live on private Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. The vast majority of the settlements have been built either entirely or partially on private Palestinian land.

Homes burned, animals killed: Palestinians describe Israeli settler rampageAL-MUGHAYYIR, West Bank — The attack by Israeli settlers on this Palestinian village was the worst anyone here could remember. There were pools of dried blood on the rooftop where assailants shot a man dead; a pile of lambs with their necks slit was thick with buzzing flies. At least two Palestinians were killed in the rampage across West Bank villages near Ramallah over the weekend, according to residents, monitoring groups and paramedics, fueled by calls for retribution after a 14-year-old Israeli shepherd went missing in the surrounding area and was later found dead. The Israeli military said he was the victim of a “terrorist attack.” Hundreds of settlers roamed the roads and hillsides of al-Mughayyir, eyewitnesses said, throwing stones and firing on residents. They set homes and vehicles ablaze, including a firetruck that had been called to put out the flames engulfing a family business. Palestinians threw rocks back at the attackers, they said, but were easily outmatched. Members of the Israel Defense Forces in the area made little effort to stop the violence, according to eyewitnesses. Video filmed by a local journalist and provided to The Washington Post shows Israeli troops in al-Mughayyir during the attack on Friday; military vehicles drive along a smoke-filled road as masked attackers look on. www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/homes-burned-animals-killed-palestinians-describe-israeli-settler-rampage/ar-BB1lJTkE

I’m watching the news and see all these anti-Israel and even pro Hamas protests. What are they teaching the young kids today? It’s sad. I bet many don’t even know what they are supporting. If they only knew that they kill gay people and abortion would be a death sentence in their culture, wouldn’t that change their minds? They aren’t told about the 25k random rockets fired into Israel over the years Bombings. They already forgot about the rapes, murders, babies burned alive, etc recently from the hamas/terrorists. Then you have the anti-Semitic dem party leader with comments like this: "We reject the policy and practice of Netanyahu - terrible. What could be worse than what he has done in response?” Nancy Pelosi I def can think of much worse Nancy. But hey at least they’re being taught you can change your kids sex

Those Anglo Saxons better give the whole UK back to the Celts then. “For over 55 years, the Israeli military occupation has prevented the realisation of the right to self-determination of the Palestinian people, violating each component of that right and wilfully pursuing the ‘de-Palestinianisation’ of the occupied territory,” said Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian Territory occupied since 1967, in her report to the UN General Assembly. news.un.org/en/story/2022/10/1129942
