Palestinians under attack as settler violence surges in the West Bank
Palestinian families say they have been intimidated and displaced in the wake of Hamas's attack on Israel.
This shows it's not about Hamas. It was never about Hamas. There is no Hamas in the West Bank.
Hmm
A Hamas spokesman is among more than 60 members of the militant organization detained by Israel in overnight raids across 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
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.
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)
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.
I support Israel. It's time for the Palestinians to move out, forced or not. It'll suck for them to relocate and resettle, but at least we might finally have peace in the middle east. Better than more war.
what, that's ethnic cleansing.
