Israeli settlers on Saturday attacked a convoy carrying a European delegation in the occupied West Bank, beating up a 78-year-old French mayor. While Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – who is just days from a crucial election – described the incident as a “smear” campaign against Israeli settlers, France’s top diplomat urged Israel to “urgently halt criminal violence”.
Israeli paramilitaries. The term settler is white washing the organised violence they carry out
Israeli settler paramilitaries 🤷
Israeli Squatter Paramilitary Terrorist
Israeli klansmen.
I mean at this point anyone who knows virtually anything about Israel/Palestine knows what an Israeli settler actually is, and in any case most “settlement” is done by driving away the original inhabitants.
*terrorists
Wow this is not a good month for French mayors
Au contraire, they’re choosing the consequences to draw attention to injustice, I’d say it’s a great month
His main rival in October 27 elections, former military chief Gadi Eisenkot, strongly criticised Netanyahu over the violence, saying it was “burning away the little legitimacy the State of Israel still possesses”.
The attacks are “Jewish terrorism, under the auspices of the Israeli government”, Eisenkot said.
Wow, I did not expect comment like this from a candidate in Israel. Am I stupid/naive to think there is hope?
He’s pro genocide and colonization https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/aug/10/media-gadi-eisenkot-anti-netanyahu
Am I stupid/naive to think there is hope?
Not stupid/naive, but falling for the propaganda/whitewashing. It’s not your fault, Israel hasbara will be constantly pushing attempts at whitewashing their image for the next many years.
The only solution to the colonization is for Israel to go the way of apartheid South Africa - that’s the best moral compass that would keep a person from falling for their BS.
Yes. “Shoot and cry” is the tried and tested technique of liberal Zionists to whitewash genocide and ethnic cleansing.
yeah… that sounded weird anyway.
Thanks for the infos
What you’re seeing is the smart Zionist/dumb Zionist spectrum. Eisenkot is a somewhat smart Zionist (not a properly smart Zionist, however; those died with Yitzhak Rabin) who knows Israel can’t afford to keep beating up European diplomats while Netanyahu is a dumb Zionist high on his own supply.

“burning away the little legitimacy the State of Israel still possesses”.
They are way past having any legitimacy at all. Israel must be ended and the “Israelis” resettled in other countries. Anything less is condoning murder. They have chosen to act criminally for 80 years, they have no right to say what goes on anymore.
Israelis are fucking psycho fucks. No more aid no more money no more bombs let them fight the people they want to erase. Nazi fucks.
Settlers is a euphemism for terrorist-state-backed terrorists
Isrealis are very “strong” when they are beating 78 years old unarmed man. Zionism and Nazism are the same evil ideology!!!
It’s impressive just how committed these guys are to alienating anyone who might plausibly take their side.
Fun fact, the French word for a settler is appropriately “colon”. Eg:

The Israeli government will only react as far as they’ll claim that foreigners in that area are a danger to those poor Israeli settlers.
Good cop, bad cop.
Crazy Israeli settler.
