"Violence against civilians will have consequences". I wish I could believe that. I think most Israeli's who destroy the lives of Palestinians will enjoy it without consequence.

A handful of people can't come to the US (unless they come as part of a UN visit, lol), but we'll still give you complete and unconditional military support to drive those people from their homes!

It's a start I guess? Maybe? I don't think the people attacking Palestinians care about coming to the US right now.

I'd prefer to see the US withhold the billions of dollars of monetary aid it gives Israel every year. Maybe give it to Ukraine?

I am getting a bit tired of the card the Israeli government pulls.

"No you cannot commit war crimes against civilians because of WW2."

Demographically, what is the profile of the average "settler"? Are they ultra-orthodox, Herodim or something? I know very little about Israeli domestic stuff

Some of the settlers move to the occupied territories for religious reasons while others are drawn by a relatively lower cost of living and financial incentives offered by the government. Ultraorthodox Jews form one-third of all settlers.

From the second article, you should give it a read.

Yeah that's the stereotype, that settlers are typically right-wing orthodox types that believe the entire holy land should belong to them. Though, the Al-Jazeera article says Ultra-Orthodox are 1/3 of settlers and many others are there for religious or financial reasons.

1/3 is still a large proportion, considering that orthodox jews made up only 13% of Isreal.

We’re out of alternative reality, can I interest you in some alternative facts instead?

Warning: both sources are extremely biased against Israel. Take information read from them with a grain of salt. Better yet, verify the information against credible sources.

No, I'm going to comment on your propaganda bullshit and call it out.

Didn't Israel kill the family of an Al Jazeera journalist covering in Palestine? I'd have a bias against Israel too after that

After, before, since they're inception. AJ always had a bias against Israel. The Arabic version is much much worse than the English version as well.
