Settler crimes are official Israeli policy

The settlers' continuous crimes of burning houses, cars, property, trees, and lands in several towns and villages, the latest of which was yesterday in crimes in Umm Safa, where no less than ten houses were burned, except for cars, and bullets were fired at citizens, which led to the injury of a Palestine TV crew's car and a machine Filming with bullets herds of settlers unleashed. All this cannot be done without a signal from the Israeli political and military leadership, and with the encouragement and protection of the occupying forces deployed in the occupied West Bank, and in most cases the participation of these forces in the crimes and attacks of settlers.
So, what the herds of settlers are doing is an official Israeli policy, despite its claims that things have gotten out of its control, its admission of its failure to prevent these raging herds and other false allegations, and it confirms that the occupying state is behind these attacks, and even war crimes committed by the occupying forces with herds of settlers.
Who created the settlements and settlers on the occupied Palestinian land, and who declared that the settlers constitute the first line of defense for the occupying state?! And who ordered the settlers to hand over weapons and facilitate their obtaining them to carry out their crimes and attacks, so that they affected people, trees, stones, and sanctities, foremost of which are the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Ibrahimi Mosque, the assaults on mosques, the burning of the Holy Qur’ans, and other violations that condemn all humanity?! And all these crimes, which are an official policy of occupation, which our people face with their bare chests, except out of faith in the justice of their cause and their determination to obtain their full and inalienable national rights and sweep away the occupation from their land and homeland, which has no homeland but it.
In order to thwart this official Israeli policy, whose most important goals are attempts to resolve the conflict in its favor and eliminate the Palestinian cause, the first thing that requires the unity of the Palestinian national ranks, without which the occupation, through its aggressive forces and herds of settlers, will continue to carry out their crimes in full view of the world.
The time has come to restore political and geographical unity and stand by our people in the face of tyrants who have wreaked havoc on the land and destroyed crops and offspring.
As for our people remaining without real protection from the Palestinian side and betting on America and Europe and on the false statements they make without taking any practical steps on the ground to put an end to the crimes committed against our people, things will go from bad to worse, and whoever bears the responsibility in the first degree is not Only the occupation, but giving priority to personal, factional and partisan interests over the supreme national interest.
Why do citizens face the attacks of the occupation forces and herds of settlers alone, and why do efforts not unite and crystallize a unified national position to defend citizens and repel the attacks of herds of settlers supported by the occupation forces?
Neither America nor Europe can protect our people. On the contrary, these countries, rather most European countries, are true supporters of the occupying state, and the visits of solidarity made by representatives of the European Union are only for appearances and showing off in front of cameras and television, but in reality they do nothing for a country. The occupation only provides support for it at all levels.
