It’s estimated that between 1,000 and 1,200 settlers surrounded the village, and around 500 stormed it just after midday local time on Friday, blocking all the roads in the area.

According to Abu-Alia [head of the village council], the Israeli military arrived at the scene at around 3 p.m. local time, but did not stop the settlers from attacking the village. Instead, Israeli soldiers allowed them to raid homes, prevented Palestinian residents from moving around and blocked ambulances from reaching the injured, he alleged.

Israeli security forces had informed Palestinian officials that the settlers were looking for an Israeli teenager who had gone missing earlier in the day.

        Ask the International Court of Justice.

        Israel asked it to stop the process and claim there’s no genocide, but the court denied and will keep the process because there’s plausibily a genocide.

            No the UN recently wrote a report on it confirming that it is most definitely Genocide. The intentional starvation of 2.3 million people is very clear cut evidence there really is no debate anymore.

                it must be nice for you to live in such a clear world with no grey areas. The 7th October attacks were horrific and barbaric and brutal and what the Israeli state are currently doing is at least as horrific and barbaric and brutal.

                    Irgun later went together with another Jewish Terrorist group called Stern Group to form IDF.

                    "Following the establishment of the State of Israel during the 1948 Palestine war, the Irgun began to be absorbed into the newly created Israel Defense Forces. Conflict between the Irgun and the IDF escalated into the Altalena affair, and the Irgun did not formally disband until January 12, 1949. The Irgun was a political predecessor to Israel’s right-wing Herut (or “Freedom”) party, which led to today’s Likud party.[15] Likud has led or been part of most Israeli governments since 1977. "
