The article discusses the recent escalation of violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem, attributed to organized attacks by Israeli settlers, amidst an environment of impunity.
The occupied West Bank and Jerusalem are experiencing one of the bloodiest and most dangerous phases in decades, with a significant rise in violent assaults by Israeli settlers. These attacks have been characterized as 'organized terrorism' leading to entire villages being devastated by fire, aimed at destroying homes, mosques, and vehicles. Physical violence, uprooting trees, burning fields, and denying farmers access to their land are common incidents. This surge in violence, particularly since the onset of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, is reportedly a result of a culture of impunity fostered by the Israeli government under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
