Four Minutes Is All It Takes for Israeli Settlers to Torch a Bedouin Village in the West Bank
The terrorist cocktail of the hilltop rioters includes burning homes, live gunfire, nighttime pogroms and bodily harm to Palestinians and Israeli activists. Shockingly, the Palestinian documentation of the attacks are used by the rioters to brag about their actions, but they are never used by the authorities to bring them to justice. Because how can you fight Jewish terror if the consensus of the extreme right-wing government is that there is no such thing as Jewish terrorism?
The lack of enforcement cannot be overstated. The authorities have the means to prevent Jewish terrorism. The names of many of the outposts are not a closely guarded secret whispered among terrorists living under the radar. Absolutely not. Today's terrorists have Instagram. Groups like Anash and The Hilltop News post videos, celebratory messages and songs praising the burning, slaughter, and so on. Villages adjacent to violent settlers outposts, first and foremost Kol Mevaser, star in "the struggle against the Arab enemy" lists, receive birthday greetings and enthusiastic coverage. Meanwhile, no one is anxious to make arrests, let alone file indictments.
