"As the Israeli Cabinet approves another 19 illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, we look now at "Israel's archeological apartheid." That's the new piece by the New York-based journalist and writer Jasper Nathaniel, who recently returned from the occupied West Bank after months documenting Israeli state and settler violence against Palestinians. He's going to join us in a minute."
""It was clear that this was a planned ambush," says Nathaniel. "They were out for blood." "What's happening right now is these really violent settlers are going out into the fields. They're stealing land from Palestinians," explains Nathaniel. "[Then the government will] retroactively legalize the land that was stolen, and basically reward the violent settlers by giving them the stamp of state legitimacy.""
A journalist returned from the occupied West Bank after documenting months of Israeli state and settler violence against Palestinians. Settlers ambushed Palestinian olive harvesters in Turmus Aya on the first day of the harvest; a masked settler beat a 55-year-old woman unconscious, resulting in a brain hemorrhage and hospitalization. The Israeli Cabinet approved 19 more settlements in the occupied West Bank. Violent settlers are seizing land and attacking farmers while the government retroactively legalizes stolen land, effectively rewarding settlers and consolidating settlement expansion.
