A Palestinian man was killed, and dozens more wounded, as hundreds of illegal Jewish settlers raided the Palestinian village of Al Mughayyer, Ramallah in the Israeli-occupied West Bank on April 12, 2024.
The settlers torched over 40 houses, and also targeted an ambulance owned by the Palestine Red Crescent Society with gunfire as it attempted to reach the wounded following the attack according to the PRSC. The incident is the latest in the surge of settler violence in the West Bank which has accompanied the ongoing Israeli onslaught on Gaza. According to Palestinian figures, about 725,000 illegal settlers live in 176 Jewish-only settlements and 186 outposts in the occupied West Bank. On March 6, Israel’s Supreme Planning Council approved plans for nearly 3,500 new illegal settlement units to be built in the region. Under international law, all Jewish settlements in the occupied territories are considered illegal.
netizens are desensitising gruesome things that are taking place in Palestine.
even the internet’s reaction to graphic things such as - pictures of injured children, civilians stuck under rubble, dead bodies of families in their destroyed homes etc. is beyond underwhelming.
