It’s estimated that between 1,000 and 1,200 settlers surrounded the village, and around 500 stormed it just after midday local time on Friday, blocking all the roads in the area.
According to Abu-Alia [head of the village council], the Israeli military arrived at the scene at around 3 p.m. local time, but did not stop the settlers from attacking the village. Instead, Israeli soldiers allowed them to raid homes, prevented Palestinian residents from moving around and blocked ambulances from reaching the injured, he alleged.
Israeli security forces had informed Palestinian officials that the settlers were looking for an Israeli teenager who had gone missing earlier in the day.
By international law Israel is the OCCUPYING force and the OCCUPIED has the right of armed self defense, not the opposite.
Kidnap and murder aren’t self defense.
And please quote that “international law” of yours
UN General Assembly resolution A/RES/38/17 (22/11/1983), page 186:
"2. *Reaffirms *the legitimacy of the struggle of peoples for their independence, territorial integrity, national unity and liberation from colonial domination, *apartheid *and foreign occupation by all available means, including armed struggle;
3. *Reaffirms *the inalienable right of the Namibian people, the Palestinian people and all peoples under foreign and colonial domination to self-determination, national unity and sovereignty without foreign interference;"

No one is under domination in any way, the Gaza strip has had all of its money, electricity and food come through Israel payed by the Israeli taxpayer, they have 36 hospitals for 2.5 million people, and in about 20 years they grow in about 10x the population
Where is the domination here?
“Look at how those prisoners get all their resources from the prison guards! I don’t see the lack of freedom”
Do they not realize that Arbeit Macht Frei?
El oh fucking el. Even if any of that was true (which is isn’t. You’re on the Internet, are you unable to look things up?), it not only doesn’t disprove the previous point, it actually supports it.
Wikipedia is right there, just walk on down.
And how does it support it? Does sending unlimited amounts of money, food and medicine (even during war) mean domination?
Palestine is composed of Gaza, West Bank and other terrories.
Israel is stealing land continuously from West Bank and putting settlers illegally there. It’s a war crime to put civilian population in occupied Territory.
And I didn’t even mention the illegally annexed territory in 1967 and the murder in 1948 to steal the land (Jews had bought 7% of the land up to 1947 and stole more around 46% with the Nakba).
Kidnap and murder are not self defense, but Israel commiting Genocide is self defense?
What genocide?
Ask the International Court of Justice.
Israel asked it to stop the process and claim there’s no genocide, but the court denied and will keep the process because there’s plausibily a genocide.
So you don’t know, you just think that it’s possible?
No the UN recently wrote a report on it confirming that it is most definitely Genocide. The intentional starvation of 2.3 million people is very clear cut evidence there really is no debate anymore.
The one currently taking place in Palestine
Yemen killing 300K of its own citizens is a genocide, people killed because the fighters hide in hospitals and playgrounds is not
And the mass starvation … and the murder of aid workers …
The mass starvation is caused by Hamas by taking all of the food for itself, and if those aid workers wouldn’t have helped during the 7/10 then maybe you would’ve been right
it must be nice for you to live in such a clear world with no grey areas. The 7th October attacks were horrific and barbaric and brutal and what the Israeli state are currently doing is at least as horrific and barbaric and brutal.
