What is happening in the West Bank?

While the war of extermination in Gaza takes on new forms of terror, starvation, and power outages at the last desalination plant supplying drinking water, along with the cessation of fuel supplies to bakeries and hospitals, a war no less ferocious and brutal is unfolding in the cities, towns, villages, and camps of the West Bank, with the occupation army and the settler army practicing a functional division of roles and aggression.

While the former storm the camps, killing, demolishing and displacing their inhabitants, and paving wide roads over the ruins of the houses, buildings and property there, the settler army carries out robberies and attacks on the peaceful inhabitants of the villages in their homes, and the Bedouins in their tents, stealing, burning and confiscating all that falls into their hands of land, money, jewellery and livestock, which they drive away by the hundreds as spoils seized from their poor owners.

It is the practical application of the decisive plan, with its threefold aim of killing, burning, and erasing, taking place before the media's eyes in a world that swallows its tongue, except for timid statements of condemnation that do nothing to change the worsening reality of the daily suffering endured by the victims. Meanwhile, the situation threatens to deteriorate and evolve into something more dangerous and dire, in light of Katz's unleashing of the settlers to do in the West Bank what the army did in the Gaza Strip.

A few days ago, a settler posted a video showing hundreds of young men and children in a northern village being handcuffed. The settler says this act is carried out to humiliate and abuse the youth and has nothing to do with security; it's merely a matter of humiliation and abuse, leaving the victims to untie their shackles with their teeth after the soldiers have satisfied their thirst at a humiliation party, a campaign that has taken place in many villages and towns morning and evening.

The question of destiny, and nothing else, is what should occupy the attention of all those who care about what remains of the remains of a homeland that is being swallowed by the monster of settlement, and whose people are threatened with displacement.
