In March 2023, the UN Human Rights Council received a report about the over 700,000 Israeli settlers living in illegal settlements on Palestinian land. In the last 10 years covered (2012-2022) Israeli settlers increased by over 1/3rd from 520k to over 700k. The UN investigators were able to confirm 3,372 acts of violence by Israeli settlers during that same period, which averages out to almost daily violence for 10 years.

Displacing and killing/injuring Palestinians is long-term Israeli policy pursued systematically for decades now. Oct. 7th just gave Zionists the excuse to speed up the process.
