We have got to stop laying it all solely at the feet of the vile and violent settlers. They are aided and abetted by the government Israelis themselves voted in.

A fun fact: settlers now make up 10% of the Jewish Israeli population. The 19 new settlements recently announced will increase that significantly. Defacto annexation is already in place. Sadly nothing will stop it now - the willful destruction of Gaza and the silent complicity of the West ensured that.
