6. Quiet, West Bank Pogrom in Progress
Wed Jul 2, 2025, 08:30 AM

Last week, settlers set fire to Palestinian property and soldiers shot dead three Palestinians in the village of Kafr Malik.

A few days later, settlers assaulted soldiers who were sent to remove them from the outpost – from which, according to suspicions, the rioters had come. Although both incidents are egregious, only one was condemned – the one in which Jews were harmed – and even that condemnation was very weak.



Quiet, let them carry out a pogrom, is the message that Israel's most senior politicians send to the hilltop youth militias in the field. These militias have also led to the expulsion of residents of dozens of Palestinian communities in recent years; one of their goals is to demoralize the Palestinian residents of the West Bank so that they will leave "voluntarily."
