Homes burned, animals killed: Palestinians describe Israeli settler rampage – WaPost
Typical Washington Post soft-peddling of lynching in the West Bank. The headline above presents what happened as hear-say and does not mention people were killed. However, the passage below, buried in the middle of the article, describes longtime violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians intended to depopulate the West Bank as background fact. The story itself is buried in the middle of the news section. In the same edition, the Post continues to provide prime op-ed space to Zionists expressing outrage over academic criticisms of Israel’s apartheid laws and practices.
“Violence by Israeli settlers, long aimed at depopulating Palestinian parts of the occupied West Bank, increased last year after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu returned to power — at the head of a coalition that included far-right settler activists who have been convicted of anti-Arab incitement and have advocated for the outright annexation of the West Bank.
“Since Oct. 7, when Hamas-led militants killed about 1,200 people in Israel and plunged Gaza into war, there have been an average of seven settler attacks per day on Palestinians and their property — more than triple the rate in 2022 and the highest figure since the United Nations began keeping statistics in 2006. Last year, Netanyahu’s government approved the highest number of housing units in Israeli settlements since watchdog group Peace Now starting recording figures in 2012.”
