The relationship between Israeli settlers and soldiers goes beyond cover and protection; it is reflected in their complementary roles during attacks on Palestinian villages: settlers assault residents and destroy their property, while soldiers support them and arrest Palestinians. This recurring pattern reflects coordination and a division of roles that make life on the land unbearable and force its owners to leave.
لا تقتصر العلاقة بين المستوطنين وجنود الاحتلال على الغطاء والحماية، بل تتجلى في تكامل الأدوار خلال الهجمات على القرى الفلسطينية: المستوطنون يعتدون على الأهالي ويدمرون ممتلكاتهم، والجنود يساندونهم ويعتقلون الفلسطينيين. مشهد متكرر يعكس نمطًا من التنسيق وتبادل الأدوار، يدفع نحو جعل الحياة على الأرض مستحيلة وإجبار أصحابها على الرحيل عنها.

Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir on Gaza:
“If we get the Palestinians out of Gaza, that means more lives for us.”
BEN-GVIR’S (AND MOST ISRAELIS') VISION FOR GAZA: PALESTINIANS OUT, ISRAELIS IN.
This is a young, gorgeous Palestinian girl from the occupied West crying in joy at seeing her tortured hostage father after four years in Israeli dungeons.
If she were Israeli, Western mainstream media would make it front-page news.
🚨Israel's president just pardoned & expunged the criminal record of this IDF soldier who murdered a wounded Palestinian with a shot to the head
Elor Azaria was first charged with murder, then Israel reduced the charge to manslaughter, & he only served 9 months in prison for it!
“Be quiet, be quiet.” - Trump to a reporter asking him a question.
We have normalized behavior that would have been a 24/7, multi-day, media scandal under any previous president, Democrat or Republican.
The two countries originally considered for Zionist “homeland” were Palestine and Argentina. If the Zionists had picked Argentina instead, we would have grown up our whole lives believing South Americans were natural born terrorists. Told by the media that they were our enemies.
"The children will grow up".
This was also the argument that Nazi officials gave, during the Nuremberg Trials, to justify why they had killed children during the Holocaust.
