Israeli settlers threaten Palestinians of West Bank with a new “Nakba”

Israeli-Palestinian settlers threatened the occupied West Bank with a new “great catastrophe” similar to what happened in 1948, “including killing and displacement,” in light of the war between the occupation and resistance factions in the Gaza Strip.


Palestinian media reported that settlers “placed leaflets on Palestinian farmers’ vehicles near the town of Derastiya, northwest of Salfit (north),” and platforms published pictures of those posters.


The Palestinian News Agency "Wafa" also reported that those leaflets - which were written in Arabic - included "threatening Palestinian citizens in the West Bank, saying that they must leave their villages and towns and go to Jordan, and if they do not leave, the Palestinians will be attacked and displaced by force."



Activists and platforms circulated a picture of a poster on one of the vehicles that said, “You wanted a catastrophe similar to the year 1948. By God, a great catastrophe will soon descend upon your heads. You have the last chance to escape to Jordan in an organized manner. After that, we will finish off every enemy and forcefully expel you from our holy land that God has written for us,” according to the post. Rolling.


Continuous attacks

Settlers' attacks on Palestinians increase from time to time, including murder incidents, including the shooting by a Jewish settler of the Palestinian youth, Qusay Maatan (19 years old), on August 4, in an incident that the United States described as a terrorist attack, before the occupation police reduced the accusation of murder against the settler. .


Palestinian and international human rights organizations say that the Israeli government is lenient in the cases of Israelis accused of killing or assaulting Palestinians.


Settlers' attacks - which coincide with Israel's continued policy of expanding settlements - also include the exposure of dozens of Palestinian homes' vehicles to burning, breaking, and assaulting by extremist settlers under the protection of occupation soldiers in several towns and areas in the West Bank.
