The Israelis don’t treat Palestinians like they are human beings. They don’t care to make generations of enemies with their war crimes.

[-] Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 44 points 1 month ago

The only thing Israel seems to value about Palestinians is their land.

[-] primrosepathspeedrun@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

not true! look at all the riots and almost civil war that happened when a judge said maybe you don't have the right to rape palestinian prisoners!

their orifices and screams are also valued. something something chopping wood.

It's a weird word to use to describe state sponsored terrorism.

[-] mathemachristian@lemm.ee 18 points 1 month ago

What do you think a settler colony is?

[-] AdamEatsAss@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

[-] mathemachristian@lemm.ee 12 points 1 month ago

You're gonna have to explain this take. Illegal state-sponsored settlements in the West Bank are absolutely evil. There's nothing weird about describing it that way.

[-] NormalPerson@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Maybe they meant using the word settler instead of something more apt, like invader, pillager, trespasser, violator, etc.

[-] JacksonLamb@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

"Settlers" isonly weird to you if you discount all the other times settler colonialists stole land and committed ethnic cleansing and genocide.

Oh no it's okay Blinken declared their war crimes to be GMO free.

[-] primrosepathspeedrun@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

oh, good thinking, yes; that village was a terrorist.

[-] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 38 points 1 month ago

Yes, it's definitely the residents of Gaza and the West Bank who are committing genocide against the residents of Israel.

Definitely.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 35 points 1 month ago

At what point are they no longer "settlers"?

[-] bloodfart@lemmy.ml 45 points 1 month ago

That’s… what settlers are.

The land isn’t unoccupied. The people who were there before are going to be a constant problem for the settlers because they will always resent being pushed out of their homes.

The settlers have to kill or permanently displace the people who lived in the land they’re trying to settle in order to settle it.

That’s what the process is.

Theyre settlers.

They’re violently displacing and killing the people on the land they want to settle.

Well you can send settlers to an empty desert. You can also send settlers to a sparsely inhabited land and have them get along with the locals. It's not like it's physically impossible.

I see the concept of settler as someone who goes live somewhere where there aren't many people, not a role where conflict is a major part of the thing.

West Bank settlers sent by Israel were already highly questionable, but if they start doing things like this, they're just soldiers with extra steps.

well is this the level of backlash required to force israil to use civil pawns to continue the terrorism?

Settler Violence is deliberate, and exploited by the Israeli State to continue ethnic cleansing & Settler Colonialism in the West Bank with plausible deniability

The state takes over land openly, using official methods sanctioned by legal advisors and judges, while the settlers, who are also interested in taking over land to further their agenda, initiate violence against Palestinians for their own reasons. Yet in truth, there is only one track: Settler violence against Palestinians is part of the strategy employed by Israel’s apartheid regime, which seeks to take over more and more West Bank land. The state fully supports and assists these acts of violence, and its agents sometimes participate in them directly. As such, settler violence is a form of government policy, aided and abetted by official state authorities with their active participation.

The combination of state violence and nominally unofficial violence allows Israel to have it both ways: maintain plausible deniability and blame the violence on settlers rather than on the military, the courts or the Civil Administration while advancing Palestinian dispossession. The facts, however, blow plausible deniability out of the water: When the violence occurs with permission and assistance from the Israeli authorities and under its auspices, it is state violence. The settlers are not defying the state; they are doing its bidding.
