Israel has been surveilling information provided to the United States by the Palestinian Authority regarding settler violence in the occupied West Bank in recent months […] in order to “understand what the U.S. knows about settler violence.” […] ”the political-diplomatic echelon in Israel views the increasing international preoccupation with settler violence as “political pressure,” and is therefore trying to prove that the scope of the phenomenon is not as broad as the Americans claim. That’s why, the source said, “we’re working to help refute these allegations, or prevent them from developing into sanctions. The political echelon is concerned that all kinds of international moves will be taken that will force Israel to deal with this issue.”

So they don’t care about the violence and damage they inflict on everyone around them, just that a comparative handful of Israelis might not be able to travel or use US banks.

Fuck Israel.

Heinous af
