Violent settler youth betray Judaism
Ongoing accusations that Israel, by seeking to subdue those bent on her destruction, is guilty of “genocide” ring hollow in the ears of those who consider Israel’s war goals crucial to the safety of its citizens.Likewise, Israel’s raids on militants in Judea and Samaria, identified by Israel’s storied intelligence agencies as planning terror attacks, represent, to us, necessary self-defense.But supporters of Israel cannot allow our defense of the defensible to devolve into acceptance of the unacceptable: The violence perpetrated against Arabs in Judea and Samaria by some violent Jewish residents of towns in the region.When you read about “settler violence” in the mainstream media, it refers to these violent residents.

The article stresses that while Israel's self-defense against militants is crucial, this settler violence is unacceptable and must be addressed by Israeli authorities. As U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has labeled them, these individuals are "Jewish terrorists."
