Israeli Squatters in Palestinian West Bank launch 100 attacks in 10 Days, Pepper-Spray own Troops like Jan. 6 Insurrectionists
Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – The Palestinian West Bank, which is militarily occupied by Israel and which is being steadily colonized by Israeli squatters on Palestinian-owned land, is a seething cauldron.
