Illegal settlers tell Palestinians, ‘There will be war’
Settlers spray racist graffiti all over Palestinian property in West Bank, on 15 August 2019 [Palestine Information Centre]
February 26, 2020
Graffiti sprayed on a wall by illegal settlers in the occupied West Bank
sends a warning to local Palestinians that “There will be war”, Wafa news
agency has reported. Vehicles were also vandalised along with the
malicious graffiti during the suspected hate crime in Area C of Salfit
in the central West Bank overnight on Tuesday.
Local sources confirmed that a group of settlers infiltrated the village
of Yasuf, where they punctured the tyres of at least eight vehicles.
Yasuf is located south of Nablus, in an area that experiences a lot of
tension between Israeli settlers and local Palestinians.
Photos taken at the scene showed slashed tyres and a graffiti Star of
David, alongside the words “In Judea and Samaria, there will be a war”.
The illegal colonial-settlers used the Zionist term for the occupied
West Bank in an attempt to legitimise their bogus claim to the land.
Palestinian activists and rights groups have pointed out that most of
these attacks in the occupied territories and within Israel have been
committed by an extremist settler group called “Price Tag”; prosecutions are rare, they added.
Nevertheless, according to the Jerusalem Post, the Israeli police and the Israel Defence Forces are preparing to enter Yasuf to investigate the incident.
Examples of settler violence against the indigenous population include
arson attacks on homes, businesses and mosques; stone-throwing; and the
uprooting of crops and olive trees.
Last month, an apparent “Price Tag” attack saw Israeli settlers setting fire to a classroom and
spraying racist anti-Arab slogans on the walls, which carried threats
to kill Palestinians in the occupied West Bank village of Einabus. The
settlers came from the nearby illegal settlement of Yitzhar, and threw
burning materials inside the classroom.
Despite such violence becoming increasingly common in
the West Bank, the Israeli government still refuses to label the Price
Tag group as a terrorist organisation, viewing it simply as an organised
group of vandals.
