The left-wing Israeli rights group B’Tselem issues a statement on the ongoing settler violence, saying that “tens of thousands of Palestinians have been abandoned in recent hours to the wild violence of armed settler militias.”
“While villages are on fire and the number of dead and injured is increasing, the Israeli army allows or takes part in the riots,” the group claims.
“This is what Israel has created in the West Bank: a reality of blood and more blood. Revenge and more revenge.”
“A weekend that began with the criminal killing of 14-year-old Benjamin Achimeir, continues with more victims, including Jihad Afif Abu Alia, with many wounded Palestinians.”
“The Israeli government specializes in neglect – not only of its own citizens in captivity, but also of its subjects in the West Bank,” B’Tselem adds.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
