   I think you meant to say two were killed by residents of illegal settlements.

   This is constant. It’s how the settlements grow. A group of settlers will attack nearby villages until the people leave. Then the settlement takes over the fields and grows. When they’ve got enough people moved in to control that area, they start attacking again. With so many settlements, the expansion is constant, it just shifts from one to another.

   To start a new settlement, they just find some high ground, drive the people away, then take it. They usually start by living in tents. When the land owners push back, they yell for Israeli Defense Force to come protect them.

   And that cycle just goes on and on.

   Our media ignores this until Israel is attacked in retaliation. THEN we get news. It’s no wonder that people believe this is all just Palestine attacking Israel, most don’t know the actual story.

   Doesn’t seem to be much care there.

   What do you call it when Israelis burn down houses and cars and shoot the Palestinian villagers with impunity, retreating to military guarded strongholds?

   I’m really curious, what do you call it? Good fun?

   27 Feb 2023 – (BEFORE THE HAMAS ATTACK)

   Israeli settlers have set dozens of Palestinian homes and cars on fire in Huwara, a town in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, in what appeared to be the worst outburst of settler violence in decades.

   Palestinian media said some 30 homes and cars were torched during the late-night rampage by the settlers, which came a day after two settlers were killed. Earlier this month, 11 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli military raid in Nablus.

   The Palestinian health ministry said a 37-year-old man was shot and killed by Israeli fire on Sunday. The Palestinian Red Crescent said two others were shot and wounded, a third person was stabbed and a fourth was beaten with an iron bar.

   Some 95 others were being treated for tear gas inhalation.

   Ghassan Douglas, a Palestinian official who monitors Israeli settlements in the Nablus region, estimated about 400 Jewish settlers took part in the attack, which came after the Jordanian government said the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Israeli officials agreed to take steps to de-escalate the situation.

   Really curious here, what would you do if “those people from the inner city” came through your town burning houses and looting?

   I bet you’d throw flowers and offer to let them shoot your kids, right? You’d act just like the Palestinians are supposed to behave, right?

   How can you be pro Israel when Israel is an apartheid state?

   Read this quote in your Nixon voice:

   “You see these bums, you know, blowing up the campuses. Listen, the boys that are on the college campuses today are the luckiest people in the world, going to the greatest universities, and here they are burning up the books, storming around this issue. You name it. Get rid of the war there will be another one.”

   Remember, it’s the Qublican position that you should give up all rights, most especially the First Amendment rights, because you are “very lucky”.

   Lucky not to get shot, apparently.

   Same tactics the Israeli government uses against their own citizens who protest their actions.

   Someone crap on you about Petit Larceny laws today?

   You do perhaps know that it’s pretty rare to have charges filed ONLY on Petit Larceny?

   Or that getting popped several times will get you a year in jail to think about it?

   Or are you wrought up about that Senate bill in NY, 4443 I think, that’s raising multiple Petit offenses to a felony?
