It’s estimated that between 1,000 and 1,200 settlers surrounded the village, and around 500 stormed it just after midday local time on Friday, blocking all the roads in the area.

According to Abu-Alia [head of the village council], the Israeli military arrived at the scene at around 3 p.m. local time, but did not stop the settlers from attacking the village. Instead, Israeli soldiers allowed them to raid homes, prevented Palestinian residents from moving around and blocked ambulances from reaching the injured, he alleged.

Israeli security forces had informed Palestinian officials that the settlers were looking for an Israeli teenager who had gone missing earlier in the day.

        I honestly believe that if Hamas committed the October 7th attack against Israeli military and government targets, they would have the support of most of the western world. Hamas decided, instead to attack a civilian soft target, and sadly that makes them terrorists.

        It was such a bad move, tactically, by Hamas, that I have a real hard time believing that Hamas leadership is not just under Israeli control. It seems Hamas is just doing what the IDF wants them to.

        However, you are right that now it doesn’t matter what they do, because they will never be able to drop the terrorist label as long as the current regime is in charge of Palestine.

        Fuck the IDF/Zionists, first and foremost, and fuck Hamas. Free Palestine.
