Almost 500 Palestinians have been killed by the IDF or settlers in the occupied West Bank in 2023, the deadliest year there on record for Palestinian civilians. There has been a proliferation since October 7, all eyes having been on Gaza instead. The IDF have been blocking ambulance access to hospitals and have even tear-gassed an operating theatre. These are war crimes in an area that's not even supposed to be part of the war. There have been multiple raids on a refugee camp in Jenin which have resulted in killings. The Al Jazeera website has an horrific video showing soldiers killing two children. A photo I saw a couple of days ago, I can't remember where, showed IDF soldiers protecting a bunch of settlers who had been attacking Palestinians.

The IDF has turned feral and the regime is doing nothing to stop them.

Multiple sources. All this information, and much more, is easy to find. Of course, we don't have to believe any of it, especially if we prefer to believe that Israel is merely "defending itself." I have a lovely carol concert playing on the radio as I type this. I feel sick. If there's a God, he's not in Bethlehem.
