I heard on NPR yesterday that Israelis are blocking aid from going to Gaza by standing in front of aid trucks and refusing to move. The IDF does nothing to stop them. They are demanding that no aid go to Gaza until all Hamas is destroyed, which mens they are demanding that Israel commit genocide by starvation and illness of all Palestinians. Certainly these groups do not represent all Israelis, but I fear that their MAGA types have taken over the country, just as much of our country in red states has been taken over by irrational MAGAts who also see the law as something to ignore.

far as I can recall. Lots of condemnation as they take over and blow up the houses -but they are allowed to stay.


And now these extremists have the excuse of Hamas invasion -and killing-- and they will continue the land grab. And no, they do not represent the majority of the people of Israel, but they prevail.

Mistaclim, a group of Israeli citizens who oppose the occupation, have shared videos of armed settlers attacking Palestinian shepherds in the Jordan Valley, stealing their sheep, under the watchful eye of Israeli forces.

“Settlers terror is not a campaign. It is a daily reality,” they say in a post on X.

They are guilty of pretty much everything Hamas did on October 7, at least at some point. A criminal court should try them, and, anyone found guilty should be jailed imo.

Also edit: Yes, Hamas should be too, obviously. Not talking about Hamas here.

They have been engaged in acts of terrorism against the Palestinians on the West Bank for decades...apparently with tacit approval of the Israeli government, since they are rarely called to task for their violence.
