This is the best summary I could come up with:
The tiny settlement overlooking the Bedouin village of Ein Rashash is named “Angels of Peace”, but, says Sliman al-Zawahri, its residents have visited only violence, fear and despair on his family.
This week the Bedouin community packed up most of their belongings and drove all the women, children and elderly people from the West Bank ridge they had called home for nearly four decades, perched above a spring and beside an archaeological site.
Men from Angels of Peace are part of a broad, violent and very successful political project to expand Israeli control of the West Bank that has accelerated, say activists, since the 7 October attacks by Hamas launched a war with Israel.
“This has been the most successful land-grab strategy since 1967,” said Yehuda Shaul, a prominent activist who is director of the Israeli Center for Public Affairs thinktank, and a founder of Breaking the Silence, an NGO that exposes military abuses in occupied areas.
Along with demolitions, evictions and restrictions on movement and construction, the attacks on herders created “a coercive environment that contributes to displacement that may amount to forcible transfer, a grave breach of the Fourth Geneva convention”.
In the most extreme cases, villagers are so frightened of travelling on roads controlled by settlers that Israeli activists from groups that try to protect Bedouin communities – living with them, walking with them as they herd flocks and documenting abuses – are bringing them food and water.
The original article contains 1,322 words, the summary contains 241 words. Saved 82%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Hint: It's always the side perpetrating genocidal settler-colonialism that's the bad-der one (by far), okay?
Okay understood. You might have read that I excluded those with an agenda.
I guess it doesn’t fit in a yes/no thinking if there‘s a third option.
And what would this (alleged) "third option" be? This?
Both sides Israeli and Palestini have blood on their hands. There is no good one and there is no one who has the natural right for the land. It’s probably both.
Bullcrap. Since when does genocidal European colonial-settler states have "natural rights" to the land the are perpetrating genocide upon?
