Hundreds of Armed Jewish Settlers Set Fire to West Bank Homes & Shoot Palestinians

More genocide and ethnic cleansing.

"Many of the hundreds of settlers who raided the town of Turmus Ayya, north of Ramallah, on Wednesday were armed.

But the dead man, Omar Abu Katan, 27, was shot by Israeli soldiers who entered after the settlers, Palestinian medics said. According to a Palestinian Authority official, Ghassan Daghlas, the 10 wounded were struck by live shots, some fired by soldiers and others by settlers. About 30 houses and over 40 cars were torched, he said."

Meanwhile, Netanyahu has declared up to 4,560 Jewish-only housing units will be built in the Palestinian territory of the West Bank.

“We will continue to develop the settlement of and strengthen the Israeli hold on the territory,” said finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, who also holds a defence portfolio that gives him a leading role in West Bank administration.

The US state department said it was “deeply troubled” by the latest move, which comes despite US pressure to halt the settlement expansion that Washington sees as an obstacle to peace.

Most countries deem the settlements, built on land captured by Israel in 1967 as illegal. Their presence is one of the fundamental issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."

More of your faux outrage.

[–] TrentnQuarantino (8612) 5 months ago

Another comment from a little twerp who justifies Hamas' attack because of Israel treating Palestinians poorly ignoring Palestinian against Israel violence as if it doesn't count.

Giving Palestinians the respect of treating them as the other side of Israel when the reality is that all of the toxic hypocritical Arab societies from Morocco to Indonesia respect human rights, democracy or equality is absurd. Treating these countries as members of the "community of nations" in a UN which has become when they are all bent on uniting Islam into a global caliphate that in spirit at least intends to disempower, ethnically cleanse or kill non-Muslims is insane for any non-Muslim Westerner. Giving respect or nationhood to the Palestinians is like lobbying for statehood for ISIS.

Is Keelai then a Muslim defending his war against the West? Seems like a possible conclusion.

[–] robocat893 (13688) 5 months ago

Yeah... Why did Hamas attack Israel which has one of the most powerful militaries in the world? What is Hamas' endgame?

[–] TrentnQuarantino (8612) 5 months ago

I'm listening. Why do you think?

[–] robocat893 (13688) 5 months ago

I honestly don't know. I learned a long time ago that if you start poking a dog with a stick you're going to get bit. It looks like Hamas poked the wrong dog.

[–] TrentnQuarantino (8612) 4 months ago

They are trying to rile up enough outrage and victimhood that
the Islamic countries will all decide once again to attack Israel.
The US is on the right side of this, and we should back Israel
all the way

[–] Keelai (32124) 5 months ago

You hate Muslims and Arabs. You must support the Israeli government killing and oppressing Palestinian Christians and bombing their churches.

[–] TrentnQuarantino (8612) 5 months ago

That is just another truly dummass accusation.

[–] CarterBlunt (1030) 5 months ago

Palestine has a right to defend itself. Or does it not?

[–] TrentnQuarantino (8612) 5 months ago

Not the way you seem to be thinking about it, NO.

[–] CraigC (6992) 5 months ago

Palestine should've rejected Hamas years ago. This is the price they pay for being the grass the snakes hide in.

You're a piece of shit for defending terrorists and murderers.

[–] TrentnQuarantino (8612) 5 months ago

Palestinians are Hamas.
The reason the Palestinian Authority under Abbas has not had elections in over a decade is because Abbas knows he will lose to Hamas. They are all virtually the same as ISIS. No one would give ISIS statehood.

[–] Keelai (32124) 5 months ago

Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders supported Hamas and help fund them for decades. The PA is a puppet of Netanyahu. That's why there are IDF throughout the West Bank killing Palestinians and allowing Jewish settlers to ethnic cleanse.

[–] TrentnQuarantino (8612) 5 months ago

Hamas has free will and decided to do what they did with all the support they got from all over the world ... not Netanyahu.

[–] Keelai (32124) 5 months ago

Everyone, except you, knows that Netanyahu supported Hamas:
https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/

Netanyahu also knew about the Hamas attack plans for a year and that Hamas was training weeks before the actual attack. Netanyahu also allowed many Israelis to die by ignoring their pleas for help for 8+ hours. Bick stops with Netanyahu and his appointed extremist inept leaders.

Netanyahu is also responsible for getting multiple Israeli hostages killed.

You need to stop supporting that inept, far-right extremist, indicted criminal POS.

Btw, Netanyahu has already lost the war. World opinion is against Israeli actions. Israeli opinion is against Netanyahu. IDF has suffered heavy losses and has begun to pullout. Arab, European and American government have made it clear that they will NOT fund a Gazan reconstruction unless there is a 2-state solution. To the chagrin of Netanyahu, Israel has lost this war. Nobody, except you, supports killing innocent children and their moms in the many thousands.

[–] TrentnQuarantino (8612) 5 months ago

Hardly ... I know what is claimed ... the point is I don't care.

Hamas did not need Netanyahu to be Hamas.

All the rest off your blather is simply more typical Keelai Krap.

- I don't support killing innocent children at all. Those accusations are just another way that Muslims try to libel and dehumanize non-Muslims by claiming they don't care about children's lives ... and immediately after Palestinians DELIBERATELY murdered babies and mothers in the most horrible ways. It more Muslim pathological evil.

Learn to differentiate between Hamas' cold blooded viscous murder and the IDF who cannot get at Hamas fighters because they raise them and use them as shields. Only fools allow themselves to be used by Hamas to defend atrcities like this.

- Then there is also the fact that many Palestinian children are not so innocent.

Palestinian children of 2013 becoming the terrorists of today:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJPRxDAlYZc

If the world wants peace in the Middle East we must education children to want peace, but Palestinian children are brainwashed from an early age to hate Jews and Israel and dedicate their deaths to them.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axe_NcIEfsU

Why don't you apply some of your endless negative hate energy towards something productive?

[–] Keelai (32124) 5 months ago

"I don't support killing innocent children at all."
"It more Muslim pathological evil."
"many Palestinian children are not so innocent."

Hitler and you support genocide based on religion.

Israelis Jews are taught from an early age to hate Palestinians and nonJews:

'Will Kill Them All': Israeli Children Sing about killing all Palestinians:
https://youtu.be/sUpm2jGJc18?si=0pvLToUubCqIZp6u

Netanyahu defends Hitler. Blames Muslim for Holocaust:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9HmkRYlVZw

Unlike Palestinians, Israeli government has power to carryout their genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. 10,000+ dead Palestinians

[–] TrentnQuarantino (8612) 5 months ago

You've gone through so much useless work here to prove what you know is BS.

So, I'll ask you to go quantify one of your arguments. Out of all the children in the Israel/Palestine universe, what percentage of Israeli children grow up in a free society with this doctrine of hate out of the whole universe compared to the percentage of Paletstinan children who get this brainwashing.

The Palestinian children take it much deeper also because they see their friends get beaten or killed if they get out of line. They see death every day - and the real close up death for Palestinians comes from other Palestinians.

It's miniscule if not negligible, if not a complete lie.

One can just assume anything you say is distorted beyond any hope of relating to reality - and you spend all day doing it. Your mind is bent just like those kids. Are you one? Is that how you grew up, if you ever do grow up. Is that where you heard all these claims that are easy to check, but you never do?

[–] Keelai (32124) 5 months ago

Anyone who argues for genocide can't be reasoned with and has already lost their humanity.

[–] RustyShacklefurd (2026) 5 months ago

Another example of you lying. TrentnQuarantino never argued for genocide. Isn't there a way for you to argue in favor of your political viewpoint without lying about everything?

[–] Keelai (32124) 5 months ago

You repeatedly defend hundreds of thousands of civilians being killed including children. You also argue for genocide.

[–] RustyShacklefurd (2026) 5 months ago

There have NOT been hundreds of thousands killed in Gaza. I never argued for genocide. Now you're also lying about what I said. Isn't there a way for you to argue in favor of your political viewpoint without lying about everything?

[–] Keelai (32124) 5 months ago

Your defense of German civilians being killed including children during WW2 yo defend 20k Palestinian deaths is typical of your sociopathic mindset.

Troll someone else.

[–] RustyShacklefurd (2026) 5 months ago

Oh, please. You're just as okay with the death of hundreds of thousands of German civilians by Allied bombing during World War II as I am. I don't see you demanding any punishment or compensation for it. You're okay with the Allies winning World War II so you put up with everything they did to win it.

Lying about the fact that you're okay with it is typical of your sociopathic mindset.

[–] TrentnQuarantino (8612) 4 months ago

> Hitler and you support genocide based on religion.

What an insulting asshole thing to say?
You are so quick to always throw out these baseless insults.
The other thing you do is to post one-sided examples of
ugly incidents that all lean one way - never acknowledging
that there are so many more of the accusations you make
on the Palestinian side.

Literally all you have to say lies and insults.

Israel has defended itself. It has never had the goal of killing
Palestinian civilians - that is something Hamas has forced
on them in order to goad support from other Arab nations
in sympathy with their ( and your ) antisemitism.

The number of Hamas fighters killed here is very high.
Something like 1 out of 2 or 3 dead and wounded are
Hamas soldiers, and that is a very low collateral damage
rate.

[–] Keelai (32124) 4 months ago

"Something like 1 out of 2 or 3 dead and wounded are
Hamas soldiers"

70% dead are women and children. Not all Palestinian men are Hamas. They're killing old and disabled men, too. They are also killing many journalists, Christians, medical staff, etc..

Anyway, Jews have broken two of their three covenants with God. According to Judaism, God will punish them by forcing Jews to leave the area, again. Don't mess with God!

[–] TrentnQuarantino (8612) 4 months ago

Casualty estimates in Gaza are totally unreliable, but they have killed 5-10 thousand Hamas fighters.

Everyone knows why the women and children are getting killed. Except maybe you who know but will not admit it.

Don't talk Christian when you support Hamas and ISIS.

[–] RustyShacklefurd (2026) 5 months ago

Keelai,

I'm confused. You said a few weeks ago that Hamas is kind. Why do you think it was a bad thing for Netanyahu to support such kind people? Are you actually praising Netanyahu for supporting Hamas?

[–] TrentnQuarantino (8612) 5 months ago

His brain is miswired so he cannot make sense.

[–] Keelai (32124) 5 months ago

Link, pathological liar!

[–] RustyShacklefurd (2026) 5 months ago

I'm not a pathological liar. You are! You only pretend that I'm a liar. Because you're a pathological liar.

Did you really forget all about the whole thread you started to proclaim the kindness of Hamas:

https://moviechat.org/bd0000082/Politics/65699ff53682ac58251430bf/Israeli-Captives-Smile-Wave-Goodbye-To-Al-Qassam-Captors-Thank-Hamas-For-Kind-Treatment

So what now that I proved I was right about you declaring that Hamas is kind? Will you actually answer my question and clear up my confusion?

[–] Keelai (32124) 5 months ago

"Stockholm syndrome? Propaganda? Maybe. The contrast is that there are no Palestinian captives from Israeli prisons who are saying anything positive. Instead torture, threats and beatings are being said even by young teenagers."

Proof that you are a pathological liar!

[–] RustyShacklefurd (2026) 5 months ago

You didn't prove that I lied about anything, stupid! I just proved that you claimed that Hamas was kind. You specifically said in your OP title that Hamas was "kind". I was referring to the title. Claiming that "maybe" it was Stockholm Syndrome or propaganda just proves that you were doing your best to try to make Hamas look good. It was all based on you completely ignoring already existing reporting at that time of harsh treatment of the hostages by Hamas.

Now, if you believe it's possible that Hamas is kind, does that mean that you're praising Netanyahu for previously supporting Hamas?

[–] Keelai (32124) 5 months ago

20,000+ dead Palestinians aren't Hamas.

You repeatedly support war crimes and genocide. You're sick.

[–] RustyShacklefurd (2026) 5 months ago

So now you're trying to change the subject, coward. It's not going to work. Shame on you, using such malicious accusations on such a serious issue as a cheap ploy to try to get out of answering a simple question.

If you believe it's possible that Hamas is kind, does that mean that you're praising Netanyahu for previously supporting Hamas? Just answer the question.

[–] Keelai (32124) 5 months ago

"Never again" is being committed by your hero Netanyahu. Only someone who is evil would support genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian.

[–] RustyShacklefurd (2026) 5 months ago

I see exactly what you're trying to do. It's not going to work.

Now just answer the freaking question. If you believe that Hamas is kind, does that mean that you're praising Netanyahu for previously supporting Hamas? Is Netanyahu YOUR hero?

[–] Keelai (32124) 5 months ago

Troll elsewhere.

[–] RustyShacklefurd (2026) 5 months ago

It's not "trolling" to ask a very fair question about you trying to take 2 different sides on the issue of Hamas. I know that you know I'm not trolling. I know that you're just cowardly trying to worm your way out of answering my question.

Now answer the question, you coward! If you believe that Hamas is kind, does that mean that you're praising Netanyahu for previously supporting Hamas?

You can't run away from this question forever.

[–] [deleted] 5 months ago

You can't run away from this question forever.

she will. ask Chilone (however you spell it) if you ever see him on here.

[–] CarterBlunt (1030) 5 months ago

If they were the same as ISIS, Israel wouldn't need to lie about them beheading and burning people, they would just link to the videos.

Ugh! That is absolutely and totally disgusting! In the first place, the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Arab East Jerusalem do not belong to Israel.

Secondly, the settlements on West Bank and East jerusalem, as well as the gaza Strip, are illegal under International law. Israel has had no business building settlement buildings, or allowing its ultra-rightwing Jewish settlers to move into and take up residence in those territories.

Thirdly, the International community should move in and help implement the two-state solution, as well as evacuate the settlers from the Occupied territories, for they don't belong there.

The settlers also have no right to destroy property, injure and kill Palestinians, or to take over West Bank, Gaza Strip, or East Jerusalem. The rightwing Israeli Jewish settlers must be evacuated---now, and if the rightwing Jewish settlers have to be removed from West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem kicking and screaming, so be it.

[–] Keelai (32124) 5 months ago

There's a political scientist who said this is a clear attempt to ethnic cleanse Gaza and then the West Bank because the Israeli government knows their apartheid system isn't sustainable. They want all Palestinians gone from the region. Destroying Gaza was not necessary to fight Hamas, but was used as an excuse to ethnic cleanse and likely commit genocide through mass starvation and no medical aide.
https://www.aljazeera.com/program/the-bottom-line/2023/12/16/john-mearsheimer-israel-is-choosing-apartheid-or-ethnic-cleansing

He also explains why no government is doing anything to stop it and that this couldn't happen without military support from the United States.

Israel has also destroyed cemeteries. There are no tunnels nor Hamas there.

He wrote a best-seller called "The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy".

[–] mplo (2305) 4 months ago

The United States and the International Community has to put more pressure to change their policy, get their troops and settlers the hell out of the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and implement the 2-state solution, with Jerusalem as a shared Capitol between the two states. It's the only safe, sane, sensible, practical and workable solution to the decades-old debacle.

[–] Keelai (32124) 4 months ago

Regular people have to continue to pressure our sociopath leaders especially Biden whose poll numbers are going down. Send a letter to Biden and your representatives. Marches aren't enough.

Palestinians also need a coordinated, well-financed lobby with a charismatic young leader to support a 2-state solution to counter the Israel lobby. They need to emphasis establishing a democracy.

Netanyahu says he wants to control the Egyptian/Gazan border for "security". I bet it's to open it and force the Palestinians to leave for Egypt aka ethnic cleansing.

[–] mplo (2305) 4 months ago

Netanyahu needs to go! Here's hoping the Israelis hold an early election, and vote Netanyahu out of office, because he's really doing more damage to Israel, and most Israelis want him to resign. Here's hoping that happens.

As for Netanyahu wanting to force the Palestinians in Gaza Strip and West Bank to go to Egypt or any of the other Arab countries, the Palestinians will never, ever be accepted by any of the Arab states, including Egypt, because nobody wants them.

Having said all of the above, I firmly believe that the two-state solution, with Jerusalem as a shared Capitol between the nation-states of Israel and the nascent nation-state of Palestine, is the only safe, sane and sensible solution to the decades-old Israeli-Arab debacle. Also, the Palestinians need and want to be granted self-determination in the form of their own state, and in the form of their own government.
