Israeli former leaders and security chiefs threaten legal action over ‘Jewish terrorism’
“The IDF [Israel Defense Forces] has clear policy of ignoring the crimes of Jewish terrorism, and in many incidents soldiers from the regional defense units and [settlement] security squads are themselves involved in the crimes of Jewish terrorism,” the letter said.
Since 2020, Israeli soldiers and settlers have killed at least 1,100 Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank, at least a quarter of whom were children, UN data shows. No one has been charged over any of these deaths.
The attacks jeopardise Israeli security because they risk spurring Palestinian revenge attacks or even an uprising, or intifada, against Israeli occupation, the group warned...

Israel expels Palestinians based on archaeology claims, building rules : NPR
The process of transforming this area where many Palestinian families have lived for generations into a Jewish neighborhood has accelerated under Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing government, which includes two cabinet ministers who are settlers themselves.
Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem and U.N. human rights experts say Israeli actions to force increasing numbers of Palestinian families out of East Jerusalem and the West Bank amount to ethnic cleansing. Human rights advocates say this has expanded since Israel's wars in Gaza, Iran and Lebanon have drawn away much of the world's attention…

Palestinians forced to demolish own homes to make way for Israeli theme park
“Israel is not willing to recognise the bi-national, multi-ethnic, multicultural reality of Jerusalem and it is wiping out first and foremost Palestinians – but really anything that is not Jewish, and then glossing it over with this Disneyfied nonsense,” he said. “If this happens to the end, Israelis will go there and they will see the story of the park and they will be completely ignorant of the fact that lives were destroyed, a whole community was destroyed to make space for it.”…

Israeli figures warn state has ‘lost control’ as West Bank settlers attack - The Washington Post
The attacks, carried out by roving gangs of masked men and boys, have underscored the extent to which the Israeli government has allowed Jewish settlers to operate with impunity in the occupied territory. They have also exposed a deep rift between the most radical Israeli settlers, who believe they have a divine right to the land, and parts of the traditional security establishment, which sees the violence as destabilizing and undermining the state...

‘Olives are everything for us’: West Bank farmers prevented from harvesting by settler violence
About 60% of olive farmers were unable to harvest their crops in 2023, and about a third last year, according to the PFU's records. This year, a record 70% will be prevented from harvesting, Milhem expects. The revenue from olives in the West Bank is now a fraction of the $130m (£99m) annually before the war. In As-Sawiya, olive oil production has dropped from 150,000 litres annually to 30,000 litres.
Farmers are also frequently refused permission to harvest their olives by the Israeli military. "Even if we get a permit, they give us one day when we need five," Hassan says. According to the UN, no requests for access to Palestinian land inside or within 100-200 metres of settlement boundaries in the northern West Bank have been approved, through "prior coordination" with Israeli authorities.
