No settler violence on West Bank has been prosecuted since 2020 for killing Palestinian civilians

Israeli former PM calls on ICC to halt West Bank ‘Jewish terrorists’ after prosecutions stop

Exclusive: Guardian analysis of settler violence shows no Israelis prosecuted since 2020 for killing Palestinian civilians, as former military, police and spy chiefs describe ‘organised Jewish terrorism’

Israel has not prosecuted its citizens for killing Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank since the start of this decade, a Guardian analysis of legal data and public records show, creating impunity for a campaign of violence.

Attacks have spurred former prime minister Ehud Olmert to call for an intervention by the international criminal court (ICC), to “save the Palestinians and us [Israelis]” from state-backed settler violence, carried out with the complicity and sometimes participation of the police and military.

All bad/evil projected onto its enemies and all good/virtue claimed or rather deluded onto itself.

No different from Trump and Maga.

The settlers have lots of help. Though they are in a class of evil all by themselves, they are just part of an "axis of evil" if you will. Because every Israeli projection can be turned on its head to point right back at Israel itself.
