Al-Hindi Leria: Settler violence is officially protected
The article reveals that settler attacks in the West Bank, which recur annually during the olive harvest season, are neither random nor unrestrained. Instead, they are a coordinated, organized strategy supported officially and religiously by occupation authorities and rabbis for decades. Researcher Olayan Al-Hindi attributes the escalation of these assaults to two main factors: firstly, religious justification through fatwas that legitimize attacks, land theft, and crop destruction; secondly, direct Israeli governmental backing. It is estimated that approximately 70% of support for these groups comes from government funding, while Jewish Christian associations in the United States contribute about 30%. These groups, numbering around 500 registered organizations, carry out repression and assault operations, and are sometimes utilized as armed forces to isolate and evacuate Palestinian areas, with plans to transform some into formations resembling a national guard. The article further confirms that settler attacks on Palestinians—including assaults on diplomatic and media delegations—are targeted policies aimed at intimidating activists and preventing the documentation of crimes. These attacks are carried out with the tacit approval and support of the Israeli occupation army.
