The UN reports over 500 Palestinians in the West Bank have been killed over the past several years. Earlier this year, the Biden Administration sanctioned four settlers for inciting violence.

1. they are not settlers

[Mister Ed]

6. Occupiers all, and terrorists some.

The acts of violence described in the articles cited by the OP are simply acts of terrorism.

2. Years ago I used to argue

that there was no difference in South Africa’s apartheid and how Israel treated the Palestinians.
I was wrong. South Africa was never as brutal and destructive to the powerless population under their control as Israel is.

4. South Africa and Israel

SCantiGOP:

Having been to both countries several times (including apartheid-era Suid-Afrika) I concur 100% with you. Police brutality existed in RSA,, but not to this scale.

Until the Labor Party gets back to power in Israel, these arson-lynchings with automatic weapons and Molotov cocktails in the West Bank will continue.

3. Israeli terrorists at work.

We need to understand that there are terrorists on both sides of this generational blood feud.
Until both sides decide they have had enough, the slaughter will continue.
As it stands now, the great grand children of those who live in Israel and Palestine will be killing each other, using the same murder and revenge mentality that has been used to justify the slaughter for several generations of these stupid, violent people in past and present times..

This is a no win situation for America.
We need to be neutral and do what we can to negotiate a peaceful settlement to this latest round of violence, but understand that it's only a ceasefire, not a solution. A solution will only come from the combatants when they decide to embrace one.
We have no ability to make that happen, we can only urge the sides to end this, and hope they will someday stop the killing.

5. agree in very large part

and in particular the fact that the U.S. will never be able to 'impose' any kind of lasting peace.
(despite the many that are convinced our 'influence' there is of almost all consuming dimension)

Which is not to say that we can, or should, back away from all involvement. But the Israelis (and Palestinians) are the only ones that can 'fix' what is going on in the West Bank.

7. Disgusting act of terrorism, a man murdered by people who believe God told them they have a right to do so
