The US Government has doubled down on its use of the word 'terrorism', calling the recent attack by Israeli settlers both a 'terror attack' and 'violent extremism'. A spokesperson for the State Department also celebrated the arrest of those settlers by Israeli authorities, calling it 'justice'.
Sadly, the Israeli terrorist regime has decided to let them out of custody to roam free pending their sham trial:
Israeli media reported that one of two suspects was a former aide to a lawmaker from the far-right Jewish Power party, whose leader Itamar Ben-Gvir is public security minister. Ben-Gvir, widely regarded as a provocateur, has previously called for the displacement of Palestinians.
According to Palestinians, the settlers were part of a group that threw rocks, torched cars and, when confronted by villagers, shot (19 year-old) Maatan and wounded several others.
Settler attacks against Palestinians and their property are a regular occurrence. From physical attacks to arson and vandalism, many of these incidents often take place under the protection of or in coordination with the Israeli army.
