While the world focuses on the Hamas massacre in southern Israel and Israel’s massive bombing of the Gaza Strip, settlers in the occupied West Bank are taking advantage of the chaos to attack and expel Palestinians from a number of small villages.
Israeli soldiers and settlers have killed 51 Palestinians in the West Bank since Saturday, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Ramallah. At least two villages, Al-Qanub and Wadi Al-Sik, have been entirely depopulated as a result of the violence by Israeli settlers.
A Palestinian in At-Tuwani, a village in the Masafer Yatta region of the South Hebron Hills, is in critical condition after a settler, accompanied by an Israeli soldier, invaded the community on Friday and shot him at point blank range. The attack was documented by the Israeli human rights group B’Tselem.
Israeli soldiers are establishing new checkpoints to block the movement of Palestinian villagers. On Thursday evening, near Yabrud, northeast of Ramallah, solders shot at a vehicle carrying a Palestinian family, according to members of the family. Randa Abdullah Abdul Aziz Ajaj, 37, was killed, and her son, Ismail Ajaj, was hit in the foot and shoulder. Her husband and another child were also in the vehicle but were not injured. An IDF spokesperson claimed soldiers opened fire because the car was “driving wildly” and the soldiers felt threatened.
Throughout the West Bank, Palestinian residents are witnessing an increased presence of armed settlers around their villages, more military roadblocks, and tightened movement restrictions. “At this time we are actually living under siege. Most of the villages in the West Bank are closed in mounds of dirt and it is impossible to get out,” said a resident of the village of Qaryut. “There are settlers everywhere. Every time we approach houses near a settlement, they shoot at us. They are taking advantage of the security situation in Gaza, to take revenge on the West Bank. Because no one is looking at the West Bank now.”
On Wednesday, in the village of Qusra near Nablus, three Palestinians — Moa’th Odeh, Musab Abu Rida, and Obida Abu Sarur — were shot dead, while a 6-year-old girl was wounded in the upper body. It is unclear who opened fire on them. The attack began with masked settlers shooting at houses in the village, according to three eyewitnesses and medical personnel who treated the wounded at the scene. Video footage shows six masked men, armed with pistols and M-16 rifles, opening fire inside the village. Later that day, according to eyewitnesses, another resident, 13-year-old Hassan Abu Sarur, was also shot dead when soldiers entered after the settlers withdrew from the village.
Palestinian media reported on Thursday that settlers attacked the funerals of the four Qusra residents who had been killed the day before. According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, the settlers shot dead a father and son, Ibrahim and Ahmed Wadi.
Settlers in Esh Kodesh and the surrounding area had sent warning messages to Qusra’s residents in the previous two days, in which they threatened to take revenge in response to Hamas’ assault in southern Israel. In one photo, which was sent to the residents few days ago, a group of masked men can be seen holding fuel tanks, an electric saw, and axes, with a caption in Hebrew and Arabic: “To all the rats in the sewers of Qusra village, we are waiting for you and we will not feel sorry for you. The day of revenge is coming.”
According to a Qusra resident who asked to be identified by just his first name, Abed, “It started at noon, when 20 masked men invaded the village and stoned the houses of families living on the edge of the village. They came from the direction of the Esh Kodesh outpost. We ran there to get the families out of their homes, because settlers tried to set fire to one of the houses. A mother, father, and a girl were inside. While we were trying to get the little girl out of the house, they started shooting at us, hitting the girl. They killed three people.”
According to eyewitnesses, at least 15 Palestinians were wounded by gunfire. Medical personnel who treated the wounded said that the condition of some of them was critical.
“I evacuated a girl who was shot; she was injured inside her house and was bleeding,” said Bashar al-Kariyuti, a Palestinian ambulance driver who arrived at the scene during the attack. “The girl’s father was also shot in the face. It was impossible to recognize him.”
Ahmed, a third eyewitness to the incident who requested that his last name be withheld for safety reasons, recounted that the military stayed inside their observation post while settlers opened fire at Qusra’s residents. “My cousin was hit in the head, my brother was shot right at the entrance to his house,” he said. “Then soldiers took the [digital video recorder] that recorded everything; an hour after the event they came in and confiscated cameras. I’m sure they did it to erase the evidence.”
Residents of Qusra said that a small number of soldiers accompanied the settlers throughout the attack. When the villagers threw stones at the settlers, to force them back, soldiers backed up the settlers with live fire, according to the residents.
Commenting on the attack, an Israeli military spokesperson said, “An IDF force operating on the outskirts of Qusra reported hearing gunfire. The claim about Palestinians being hit by gunfire is being investigated.”
Along with the incident in Qusra, settlers have attacked at least 18 Palestinian villages throughout the West Bank since Hamas’ assault on Saturday, according to Yesh Din, an Israeli human rights group. The army announced that, due to the security situation, the police will distribute M-16 rifles to settlers in the West Bank. Media organizations affiliated with extremist settler groups in the area called on settlers to prepare to “conquer the villages near you” and to “destroy anyone who joins the enemy.”
On Monday, settler violence led to the expulsion of every resident of Al-Qanub, a small village north of Hebron comprising eight families, and which is located near the settlements of Ma’ale Amos and Asfar. The village residents said that settlers burned three houses — made of iron rods covered with thick cloth — with all their belongings inside.
“[The settlers] came down to us, grabbed me, and said we had an hour to leave the village,” said Abu Jamal, a resident of Al-Qanub. “Then, about 10 settlers came, poured gasoline, and set fire to my house. Seven people lived there. The cupboards, the food, everything caught fire. They also burned my son’s house and stole all my sheep and my livelihood. We will not go back there. I am 67 years old, and my children are psychologically damaged.”
Wa’ed, a resident of the village, took her children and hid in a nearby valley. “I have children, a 6-month-old baby, a 2-year-old, and a 5-year-old,” she said, “I ran to hide with them in the valley when the settlers entered. I heard the sounds of explosions and thought they had killed my husband. When they left, I saw that they had burned everything of ours.”

Comment: "An IDF spokesperson claimed soldiers opened fire because [...] the soldiers felt threatened."
We think 'I am feeling threatened' is the language of women and homosexuals, and so we infer that the Israeli military is also full of women and Jewish cock suckers - just sayin'.
There's nothing inherently wrong with being a woman or a homosexual but we need to point out that they may not have the required skill set to be soldiers and that they will kill a lot of innocent bystanders with that attitude.
We think that "I feel threatened" crap was imported from California, where virtually every single male in the state has, over and over, been threatened with or been the actual recipient of restraining orders of one kind or another, from one drama queen or another - most of them, family lawyers, of Jewish descent - for going on thirty years, now ... and every single restraining order repeats that tired old phrase, "I feel threatened".
We think some women - and most politicians - feel threatened by anything they cannot control and that is the basis for most requests for restraint - a deep-seated psychological need to control others. We infer that the Jewish psyche is essentially feminine in nature.
We see the same sort of psychological dysfunction amongst the Jewish population in Israel, where they fear to lose control of the State, lest the State begin to hold them responsible for their 75+ years' worth of excesses. They are not murdering Palestinans so much as they are eliminating future voters.
We think restraining orders have been very good for business, if you're a family lawyer.
But the use of restraining orders - which unconstitutionally deprive respondents of their civil rights without a criminal trial, legal representation, or even a jury - have utterly destroyed the integrity of the American legal system and introduced verdicts based upon perceptions rather than facts, so that today it is not just possible, but acceptable, for past Presidents of the United States to be bullied by lawyers with no evidence, in courtrooms with no juries.
We don't support Donald Trump specifically, but the abuse he has received at the hands of Democratic judiciary can be traced all the way back to the birth of dodgy restraining orders and California family lawyers making unprovable accusations that cannot be defended aganst because it is impossible to prove a negative fact, impossible to prove that something did not happen - which, surely, every single one of these family lawyers knew and knows.
Basically, our legal system and our government are in the hands of criminals, intent upon stripping us of our rights - and many of them identify loudly as Jewish.
The end result is that women, fags, and weaklings in Israel can shoot anyone they want, at any time, and get away with it by saying: "I felt threatened."
Draw your own conclusions.
This nightmare will not end unless we are willing to trace the rot all the way back to its roots, surgically remove it, and return civil rights to everyone - jury trials, legal representation for both sides, all allegations supported by physical evidence, overseen by impartial jurists.
Food for thought.
