Settlers gonna settle - except it's not just settlers - Israelis are now acting like militias with the apparent blessing of the Govt.

Over 20 masked settlers attacked Palestinians and human rights activists in the Bedouin community of Mukhmas, southeast of Ramallah in the West Bank. According to the activists, the settlers opened fire on them and set fire to multiple structures on the site. They said two activists sustained head wounds when they were beaten with clubs. Three Palestinians were wounded.

Palestinians reported Israeli settlers setting fire to vehicles near homes close to West Bank villages near Ramallah overnight into Saturday, with video from the villages of Al-Mu'ayer and Abu Falah showing Palestinians gathering on a hill, attempting to chase off the arsonists, while flares are visible in the background.

"Every place has its own characteristic type of violence.

Here in the West Bank, Israeli violence is carried out in concert by all forces present – whether those of the army, police, Border Police, Shin Bet security service, Israel Prisons Service or settlement security coordinators, and of course, Israeli civilians.

And often, these civilians carry sticks, metal pipes and stones, while others are armed with firearms.

Militias operating outside of the law but within its embrace"

I posted after you but I have a good opinion piece on the general notion that there are now "Israeli militias" acting outside the law - not just Settlers.

Given the images, films and documentary evidence used in the Nuremberg trials, particularly of the Concentration Camps, I wonder how the Israeli Genocide of Gaza will compare with the slew of video and social media posts?

Looks like a film worth watching.

"The graphic film of the camps was a turning point in the trial, bringing the horror of the Holocaust directly into the courtroom. "Eisenhower had insisted that the camps be filmed," Dr Thomas Schwartz, professor of history at Vanderbilt University, tells the BBC, speaking of the Supreme Allied Commander in Europe. "And the Russians made films, too. These were extraordinarily effective in conveying the true scale of the crimes." "

I’m not sure this thread ever had much credibility.

It’s like an echo chamber of lads trying to one-up each other about how much they hate Israel.

It's not as if you add anything to it. Coming in and stating that you are neutral and then being found out is very questionable especially as you have added the sum of nothing to the pro-Israeli side.

A case of the truth hurts BB?

Seems your only recent contribution is to count posts and bemoan the thread in general because somehow it doesn't meet your needs. And yet, you're still here - adding nothing of value really. Maybe take a break?

Gaza is now an Israeli dumping ground:

The IDF has been dumping large amounts of waste, rubble and construction debris into Gaza from the Israeli side of the border, according to information and footage obtained by Haaretz.

IDF sources told Haaretz that commanders in the field decided to dispose of the waste inside the Strip, with one saying orders were given to allow trucks owned by private Israeli companies to enter Gaza and dump their loads wherever they saw fit.
