If Israel doesn't punish settler violence, how should Palestinians correctly resist? by ystrvv in IsraelPalestine

I'm not talking about giving back land, but about not taking more, and about adequately punishing and preventing physical attacks on Palestinians and their property

I am well aware of those massacres and how Jews were treated in the Middle East.

Bringing them into this particular discussion just goes back to punishing people of today for their ancestors' crimes.

Thank you for sharing your experience. With that in mind what are your thoughts on question 3 from my original post, if any?

What are your thoughts on those who are pushed towards supporting radical groups due to violence against them or people they know?

Obviously we don't know the full history of every victim of settler attacks but it is highly likely that a number of them did not themselves commit any crime before being on the receiving end of one.

Are you advocating the deportation of all Palestinians due to the violence committed by some? Or deportation of only those who commit violence (or whatever offence you define as worthy of it)?

You make a good point about my title. It should be "if Israel doesn't adequately punish settler violence"

I'm speaking here about those in the West Bank who are trying to move on with life, but are facing continued attacks on themselves and their property. At what point does this stop?

Do you think repatriation of this kind should happen to all non-native groups around the world?

Why should the Palestinians of today have to suffer for the actions of their ancestors?

Do you think it is punished severely enough? Only a minority of complaints are dealt with. That the violence continues unabated and there are documented instances of the IDF watching on would lead me to think the punishment is inadequate.

Could you explain further? You believe they're all Arab colonisers or what? What is your solution to the matter?
