‘Exterminate the beasts’: West Bank settlers on the rampage
JVL Introduction
In an excellent and shocking news report, Joel Gunter for BBC News chronicles the lawlessness which now prevails on the West Bank as settlers exact vengeance for the murder of a 14-year old Israeli teenager from an illegal settlement.
It paints a picture in which the Israeli state’s writ barely runs, police and soldiers often acting in concert with vigilantes or merely making token efforts to control them.
As the Israeli government rots from within, it is the illegal, messianic settlers who are increasingly in control on the West Bank, advancing their ethnic cleansing project day by day.

‘Exterminate the beasts’: How Israeli settlers took revenge for a murder in the West Bank

After reading this I ask myself what is a ‘Terrorist’? Do I make my judgement on what the individual or group says, or on what they do? I define an individual or group as ‘Terrorist’ if they commit acts in pursuit of a political objective, which are intended to induce fear in a civilian population. If Iran is seen as sponsor of Hamas, which country sponsors these violent settlers?
No mention of why Palestinians killed a Jewish settler.. the journalist seems to have had good intentions to record the rabid outpouring of settler violence against Palestinians ” in retaliation ” for murder. But many people who will have read his article will have no sympathy for the Palestinians as BBC has a record of victim blaming Palestinians for decades.. having seen comments on line I can attest to this being read as the case of them ” bringing it on themselves “.. why can’t journalists & politicians EVER speak about the whole picture and stop curating the narrative. Perhaps this journalist didn’t mean to and thought his coverage of the extreme retaliation did cover the situation, what a shame he missed the mark… as usual with MSM ..
What the BBC will never report is that these settlers bring up their children to exterminate Palestinians whenever any opportunity to do so and get away with it avails itself. Because any BBC operative knows full well that their career trajectory, infinitely more valuable than Palestinian life, is dependent on this dishonesty. The Palestinians themselves -how do we expect them to see it? Should they not see the settlers as exterminators, working hand in glove with these other weasels? The settlers are bringing up their children to get rid of them by any means that allows them to get away with it . Filling their heads with one sided highly selective froth and insisting any arguement to the contrary is genocidal anti-Semitism. I had one of their offspring actually shed tears whilst he accused me of planning an extermination of all Jews when all he wanted to do was steal my RnD work and get me thrown out of the company. It turned out in the end that all witnesses to this knew he was lying, and his performance ensured they knew what to expect if they stood up to him. But I got no bonus. Everyone else did. How tolerant of them to keep me on for another year or so. Very sick people. Every ‘argument’ given by the settlers to self justify their revenge opportunities is pure projection. This repellent behaviour is not new and in the past was a white European “Christian” thing. By making it appear to be Jewish prerogative they are really playing with fire. This is not politics. It’s a deep human sickness that makes us the lowest of the low. If it wasn’t for people like Norman Finklestein and yourselves, anti-Semitism would be through the stratosphere right now.
