Israel Accused to Use Settler Violence Against Palestinians

jpnn.com, PALESTINA - Israeli human rights group B'Tselem has published a new report showing how Israel has used settler violence against Palestinians.

It was reportedly used to abuse more than 28,000 West Bank farmland and grasslands that have been cultivated by Palestinians for decades.

In a new report, B'Tselem points out that settler violence is being used by Israel to expel Palestinians from their lands.

Israel has so far argued that the violence was carried out by a fundamentalist youth movement that had nothing to do with the government.

The report describes how settler violence is paving the way for Israel's mission to expropriate agricultural land and pastures used by Palestinian communities in five areas: the grazing community at Masafer Yatta in the Hills of South Hebron, in the Hills of southwest Hebron, and in the Hills of South Hebron. Then, there are the Jordan Valley and the villages west of Ramallah and west of Nablus.

According to the report, the state has seized thousands of lands belonging to Palestinians using Israeli settler violence.

In some areas, seizures have been carried out explicitly by the military closing plots of land or requiring Palestinians to first seek permission to access their own land.

Elsewhere, farmers and herders fled for fear of encountering Israeli settlers who would attack them.
