This has been happening for decades. This is working as expected.

Perhaps what's new is that a mainstream organisation is posting articles where their reporters have witnessed such attacks.

I've seen stuff on youtube, I've seen internet articles, I've seen thinly veiled references but this is a respectable organisation reporting what they have seen, on the front page.

The ethnic cleansing that is happening in Palestine and what these settlers are doing essentially ensures there can never be peace. The settlers are to me the root cause of the ongoing conflict, it ensure the wound can never heal while land is constantly being stolen. Whatever ceasefire or truce does happen the settlers keep taking more land backed by the Israeli government. Absolutely disgusting.

The settlers aren't doing this without support, if the Israeli state didn't want it to be happening it wouldn't. There's tacit support from Israel for the settlements, they have political power.

I'm stating it this way to not push the responsibility only to the individual settlers, it's a concerted operation with broad support from a cohort of Israel's society.

Growing up in germany has lead me to have a somewhat blind-eye regarding this topic. But this is just pure evil.

Be careful. This comment ("pure evil") is illegal in Germany, under the antisemitism law. Many people got arrested for less. Police show up at apartments unannounced and take all electronic devices. You do not mess around with German law.
