    “No arrests were made.”

    That’s because erasing Palestinians is the goal of the Israeli government. They will not be happy until all of the Palestinians have fled or are dead.

    Sounds achingly familiar.

    Impossible, Biden sanctioned four people and wagged his finger “Stop that malarkey” they told us that would stop the settlers

      So I can’t help but notice that you’ve not actually commented on the story.

      What is your opinion on what Israel is doing here to these Palestinians?

      Why the downvote? I’m saying this is a good source. Some of you guys just downvote cause of my name.

        I can’t speak for the rest, but personally I’m downvoting BECAUSE you’re saying that Times of Israel is a good source.

        It’s an extremely pro-Netanyahu and anti-Palestinian rag with no credibility with regards to anything to do with Palestinians.

        That MBFC rates it highly is probably because MBFC itself is mostly the hobby of one right wing person with huge pro-Israel bias himself. Sure, some of the ratings are by volunteers or paid freelancers (with no real transparency as to who did what), but it’s mostly just a dude named Dave pretending to be an authority on credibility and bias.

              I tried looking this up and could not find a source to support this claim, do you have one you could share?

                It’s owned by a dude called Dave van Zandt and there’s been plenty of posts on here showcasing their hypocrisy. The fact that “Times of israel” holds a rating above “low credibility” while consistently posting IDF propaganda and using heavily biased language is enough evidence.

                Go dig through my comment history if you want to find more examples.

              Tell that to the mods of this community who suggest we use it. Just because it marks your pet site low you’re gonna attack. That is par for the course.

                MBFC is made by one Zionist dude it’s not relevant to any credibility.

                :)

                Okay, I’ll make my own site for “factual” checks and say the articles I don’t like are fake.

                See the problem here? They literally rated an article as “not trustworthy” and as a justification it said “we never found posting not factual information, but they are Palestinian and that lowers the score”. Fuck this system.

    The article says the torched car was parked in front of someone’s house. Presumably, SOMETHING happened to escalate into violence. And what was that? Nobody lights a random car on the street by their house on fire for no reason.

    Sensationalist reporting.

      The reason is colonialism, what do you think the settlers are doing in the West Bank exactly?

      Like they’re literally recorded saying shit like “If I don’t steal your it (your home), someone else will”

      Go to YouTube and you can watch them raid towns, destroy houses, and causes the Palestinians to flee in terror.

      Seriously go to YT type in “Israeli Settlers” and spend just 5 minutes of your time today watching countless instances of attacks and shit like this with your own eyes. Its eye opening.

      Or I can provide a ridiculous list of news articles of this happening every year for many years if you’d rather read about it.

      What happened: Israeli government began a campaign of ethnic cleansing.

      What also happened: Terrorists, emboldened with the belief that they would not be punished, targeted innocent civilians for violence.

      What finally happened: Nothing, authorities did fuckall because its exactly what they want to happen.
