![‘There is no accountability for Israeli settlers’
Phyllis Bennis, a fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies, says the violence in the occupied West Bank is a “major escalation” and that Israeli settlers are not being held accountable for their crimes.
“We’re seeing an increase in direct war crimes,” she told Al Jazeera.
Referring to the attacks in the village of Tal, in which four Palestinians and two Israelis were killed on Friday, she said: “The settlers were the first group to attack the village … But what I think is very clear here is that whenever there is any kind of an incident like this, the response by the Israeli military and the settlers is to punish all the Palestinians. There is no accountability for Israeli settlers,” she said.
Bennis said Israel’s distinction between settlers and soldiers is false.
“Some of the settlers are themselves part of the Israeli military. They serve in the reserves. They are armed by the military. Many are trained by the military. They’re all using US-provided arms. So this distinction is not a very important one. They are all supported by the Israeli state,” she said.
“And what we’re seeing here is a decision that they make to deliberately commit war crimes. So we’re seeing collective punishment. We’re seeing attacks on hospitals, [such as in Nablus where] patients, as well as doctors and other staff, were detained, were bound,” she said.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:g6rngysfaueb6ge4dbhdftmp/bafkreifsdukb7vx43ugiwju2zn6czuxofqr7hqeim757dbcw4qi4nfpyo4)
