The girls, aged 14 to 16, have come for settler training to learn how to occupy Palestinian land — breaking international law. “God promised us this land and told us if you don’t take it, bad people will try and take it and you will have a war,” says Emuna Billa, 19, one of the camp supervisors. “Why do we have a war in Gaza? Because we don’t take Gaza.”
Their guru is Daniella Weiss, a 79-year-old grandmother in a long skirt and patterned headscarf. Founder of the Nachala or Homeland movement, she has been setting up illegal settlements for 49 years and was recently put under international sanctions. “You will be the new emissaries,” she tells the 50 or so girls at the camp. “I call it redeeming, not settling and this is our duty.”
She unfurls a map of Israel and the Palestinian territories dotted with vivid pink house symbols to represent existing and proposed Jewish settlements. Not only are these all across the West Bank, but also in Gaza. Already 674 people have signed up for beachside plots there, she tells me, and “many more want to join”. When someone asks her about settling Lebanon she smiles and says, “Yes, there too”.
Just a friendly reminder, that Israel is an Apartheid state - according to the ICJ.
in a reasonable country this would trigger a red flag law.

The Sunday Times is a British Sunday newspaper whose circulation makes it the largest in Britain’s quality press market category. It was founded in 1821 as The New Observer. It is published by Times Newspapers Ltd, a subsidiary of News UK (formerly News International), which is owned by News Corp. Times Newspapers also publishes The Times.
News Corp being Rupert Murdoch’s company, the same one that controls Fox News and the WSJ in the US, and The Sun in the UK. Any News Corp property should be rated very poorly.
These guys were behind most of the Brexit lies and supported the Brexiters themselves, which were a Far-Right movement by European standards (literally nobody other than a handful of Far-Right parties in the EU ever supported leaving the EU, and that’s without going into the whole “rabbid racist” anti-immigrant speech from these guys which was very much the same kind of thing Trump spews about “Mexicans”)
Calling them “Right-Center” is hilariously rightwards biased (the idea that these guys are “moderates” is physically a ROFL kind of idea), and saying they have “High Credibility” is Narnia-level fantasism.
And yet, we keep getting this bot trying to shove down our throats this ridiculous pro-far-right propagandistic take on reality as the “trust gatekeeper” guarding us against fake news: it really says all that needs being said about the ethics and honesty of the moderators that approved this crap.
Israeli invader*
Settler is more accurate, and is a subset of invader. America were invaders in Iraq, but didn’t invade to set up permanent settlements. Israel is invading Palestine in order to set up permanent settlements
Coloniser?
Coloniser is probably the best term, yeah
That’s actually the word I wanted, but couldn’t remember!
The wild things is, they’re religious leaders know they are worshipping a co-opted war god, that exists only in their shadows.
Even Shin Bet calls these people terrorists.
All of the Abrahamic religions need to die
All of the religions need to die.
All settlers are terrorists. There are over 750k people living in the occupied territories. They need to gtfo asap. Their claims hold no water and there is absolutely no legal founding to creating little settler colonies on another people’s land. I’m talking about the West Bank and the other occupied territories here, not Israel proper.

Of course you’re German. Unsurprising. “Other historic ties to the land of Judea and Samaria”. Can’t get more crazy than that lol

Yeah and so does Germany over vast areas of western Poland, yet you don’t see normal people claiming that Germany should invade, settle, and occupy those parts. Secondly, I’m part jewish and have no connection to Israel, and never will. The Zionist mission to look for Lebensraum in the West Bank will never have my support. Zionism doesn’t represent Judaism. If you think so, then you’re just another philosemitic antisemite, or someone delusional enough to think that supporting the mass slaughter of children will wash his family’s past crimes.

Palestinians don’t accept that the borders change and still want all of Israel.
“Palestinians” here is a useless generalization, because it lacks a quantifier. Certainly some do, and just as certainly not all do.

And where Palestinians should go. Shall they magically disappear to leave more Lebensraum for Israel? Or what’s your solution?

Thanks American imperialists for enabling these invaders
Yes we already finished first genocide (the Native Americans), but what about second genocide?
When someone asks her about settling Lebanon she smiles and says, “Yes, there too”.
Great, more war crimes.
As a Lebanese, I advise them that we are already destroying our country by ourselves!
There was an article about her a few months ago, and I wanted to again point out how Hamas’s terrorist mickey mouse actually had more sound logic than this insane woman.
Farfour’s grandfather explains to Farfour the history of the land. Tel Aviv, he explains, is the Jewish name for the land that was originally called Tel Al-Rabi and the Jews renamed it after occupying it in 1948. Farfour’s grandfather gives Farfour the key and documents to the land and then he dies. Farfour exclaims “Grandpa entrusted me with this great trust but I don’t know how to liberate this land from the filth of the criminal plundering Jews who killed my Grandpa and everybody.” Farfour is then taken to an interrogation where he is “beaten to death by an actor posing as an Israeli official trying to buy Farfour’s land” because Farfour had called him a “despicable terrorist.” The episode has what seems to be an editorial mistake as a brief flash of a “Farfour in prison” sign is shown immediately prior to Saraa explaining that “Farfour was martyred while defending his land, the land of his fathers and forefathers. He was martyred at the hand of the criminals, the murderers, the murderers of innocent children who killed Iman Hijo, Muhammad Al-Duro, and many others.”

Wow Israel really thinks the world will go like “welp it is now a conflict between civilians so the Israeli government can’t be blamed”. I bet they are praying that locals organise a defense against these invader settlers so that they can pretend like they have a good excuse to send troops.
That is literally what they’ve done for many, many decades, let the settlers expand and antagonize, then send in the military to protect the innocent civilians living on Palestinian land.
This already happens
Settlers like this have forfeited their status as innocent civilians. This makes them active aggressors in my eyes.
I’m not surprised. That’s what Israeli settlers doing for decades, not just since October.
Tell me how people should not get radicalized, when your home and existence and that of your family is constantly threatened.
I’m not condining the actions of Hamas, they are brutal and wrong. But Israel created that beast themselves and left Palestinians with no other options.
If you want a more human focused instead of politics I would recommend to read Kingdom of Olives and Ash: Writers Confront the Occupation
Jewish author Michael Chabon and Israeli born author Ayelet Waldman asked writers, journalists, authors of both sides and not involved at all, to visit the occupied territories and write an essey about their expierience. It shows a heartbreakingly personal point of view of the situation before the current war.
They have become what they swore to destroy
Nazis, more specifically.

That combined with the “Killology” guy really explains how worthless and barbaric the entire US police system is.
