Tens of thousands of Palestinians are exposed to attacks by armed settler militias storming villages across the West Bank in recent hours.
With scenes of homes and vehicles set on fire, and the numbers of casualties rising, the Israeli army enables these attacks or even participates in them .
This is what Israel has created in the West Bank: a reality of blood and revenge.
A weekend which began with the abhorrent killing of 14-year-old Binyamin Ahimeir, continues with more victims, including Jihad Afif Abu Aliya from al-Mughayir, and dozens of injured Palestinians, while the entire region is engulfed in flames.
Israel’s occupation and apartheid regime have obligations, among them the obligation to protect all its subjects.
But the Israeli government specializes in neglecting not only the lives of its own citizens held hostage in Gaza, but also of its subjects in the West Bank.
Cease the fire now.
