This shows it's not about Hamas. It was never about Hamas. There is no Hamas in the West Bank.
Settler colonial states and using the terrorists they radicalised as an excuse to do more genocide, name a more iconic combo
America is so jealous rn
Hmm
A Hamas spokesman is among more than 60 members of the militant organization detained by Israel in overnight raids across the West Bank

This shows you know nothing, you never really knew anything to begin with. There are in fact Hamas members in the West Bank. They're just not the ruling government.
It's not the same. If Israel wants to go after terrorists, that's one thing. But that's not what we're seeing. We're seeing civilians targeted en masse, without food, water, medicine, fuel, electricity. It's genocidal and it must end
Oh really? Inform us how Israel should target these terrorists hiding under schools and hospitals than.
You think withholding food and water to civilians is acceptable?
crickets
Basically - Apartheid environment, but the settlers feel like now is the opportunity to push, so there is a rush to see who can take/claim/push out Palestinian land, homes, belongings.
Apartheid doesn't mean every one of the ruling class is evil, but that the bullies (they exist in any population) now have a target that can't fight back, and if they do happen to fight back, the police/military takes the bullies side. Is there someone high up in the military sending out civilian death squads to tiny villages? No. But there is an environment where self appointed death squads can exist and the military will defend them if they meet resistance - That is what Apartheid does. Systematically removes the ability of a people to seek justice, have fairness, or even feel safe.
Genocide continues. (The alternate summary)
Israel really needs to just dismantle these illegal settlements like they did in Gaza in 2005.
Bold of you to call for a direct comparison to something that led to the current situation with Hamas.
Huh?
Israel pulling out of Gaza is what let Hamas take over and cause terror for over 15 years.
I don't think anything short of a full blown military occupation could have prevented that. Maybe that's where this is going to end up, I don't know.
Why aren't they reporting on this in western media?!!1! /s
Hamas probably didn't tell them to report it.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
To do so, they would need to travel across land that is dotted with Israeli settlements, where the risk of violence, high even in ordinary times, has risen dramatically in the two weeks since Israel went to war with Hamas.
Abed Wadi put the image of the masked men with axes and chainsaws out of his mind and joined the funeral convoy bringing the bodies back from the hospital to Qusra.
Last weekend was the beginning of olive season in the area, but residents who depend on the harvest for their income said they would not go to the groves on the outskirts of the village for fear of settlers shooting.
There had already been a significant increase in violence by Israeli settlers this year, even before the Hamas attack, according to UN data, with more than 100 incidents reported each month and about 400 people driven from their land between January and August.
According to B'Tselem and Yesh Din, another Israeli human rights group which monitors West Bank violence, the intimidation and forced displacement reported in Wadi al-Siq has been repeated in communities across the territory since 7 October.
Video footage filmed by Adra's cousin, Basel, shows the settler who allegedly beat Rabai and the Israeli soldier standing a short distance away from the group of Palestinian neighbours.
The original article contains 2,070 words, the summary contains 219 words. Saved 89%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
This is disgusting - Israel should do everything to stop this.
Israel won’t stop with it unless Western world, I assume especially US do something about it.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
