The West Bank Is Awash in Anti-Palestinian Violence

 

 "For Palestinians living in the West Bank, settler violence has long been a relentless facet of everyday life. With the formation of Israel’s far-right coalition government in December 2022, settler attacks have only escalated, graduating from small-scale attacks on shepherds grazing their flock to mob violence on whole communities.

The dispatches below speak to the intensification of these dynamics in the last two weeks. West Bank residents recount facing local settlers suddenly wearing the uniform of the Israeli army; of blocked roads restricting movement between towns; and of ever-present violence against which they have no defense. In response, entire Palestinian villages are being forced to relocate, although many vow to maintain their presence on the land to slow its seizure by settlers and the army."
