the joos call them settlers but in reality they're invaders;
Israeli security officials told Haaretz for a story published on Tuesday that Jewish settler violence in the Israeli-occupied West Bank has the Palestinian territory on the “brink of explosion” as attacks on Palestinians continue to surge.
The report said that the authority of the IDF over settlers has eroded as the settlers have the backing of ministers in the Israeli government and members of the Knesset. Sources told the paper that Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz is effectively not involved with the West Bank while Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, a settler himself who also holds a position in the Defense Ministry, is advancing a policy of de facto annexation.
“There is no one today dealing with the West Bank. Everyone understands we are on the verge of an explosion. But no one will stand up and speak,” one security source told Haaretz. “Commanders on the ground are genuinely afraid to raise problems or enforce the law. Because they immediately become targets for extremists who enjoy backing from ministers and Knesset members.”.........more..........
