    He cited examples of thuggery like a surge of “mob” violence by Jews against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and the abuse of detainees in Israeli custody.

    Reads like ICE tactics against immigrants.

      Stop calling them “settlers” pretty much any other name would be more accurate. Invaders, thieves, murderers, genociders, etc. but not settlers.

        He said there was no innocent people in Gaza. Everybody claim yo support a two state yet many still sells weapons to israel to commit genocide and will not tell you how to accomplish it. They would also tell you palestinians has no right to an army to defend itself.

    The tl;dr of President Isaac Herzog’s Israeli Labor party’s position on settlements is to permanently take Palestinean land from Palestineans, but slower and less violently than Likud wants to.
