Israeli army raids and settler pogroms have significantly increased across the occupied West Bank in recent months
Despite international condemnation
Al Jazeera's Imran Ullah Khan reports
Imagine someone getting on stage and saying, “Jews are the problem, but Jews are also the solution,” and the crowd applauding it without the entire world losing its mind afterward?
They claim they’re fighting antisemitism while openly stoking hatred toward another religion…
Israel has intensified its raids in the occupied West Bank, raiding at least 20 towns, demolishing homes and arresting dozens of Palestinians, as Arab states and the Arab League condemn escalating settler attacks against Palestinians.

Urgent call to the international community to take immediate action to stop Israel's violence and prevent pogroms by settler militias and the Israeli army across the West Bank.
In recent days, violence by settler militias, enabled and supported by the Israeli army, has escalated across the West Bank, including the torching and destruction of Palestinian property, and the forced expulsion of families and communities. These attacks have been met with silence and inaction from much of the international community, allowing the violence to continue and intensify.
Today's event in the village of Tell (Area B) when a settlers' "tour" in the village ended with the killing of at least 4 Palestinians and 1 settler and several people injured is leading to escalated violence in the area with settlers, ministers, and Knesset members calling for further revenge attacks which already started across the West Bank. Experience shows that these events can escalate quickly into mass pogroms when met with silence.
We call the international community to act now. Immediate pressure must be placed on Israel to stop further attacks, prevent pogroms and further killings, and ensure the protection of Palestinians, in accordance with Israel's obligations under international law.
