Probe launched into hate crime against Palestinians by Israel settlers

Thursday 15-November-2018

Extremist Israeli settlers burned overnight Thursday a Palestinian car in Nablus and spray-painted graffiti calling for revenge against the Palestinians.

Police officers launched a probe after the locals filed a complaint over the hate crime.

The arson-attack was carried out at around 03:00 a.m.

A graffiti reading “don’t play around with us” was sprayed by the Israeli fanatics on a nearby wall.

Prejudice-motivated attacks by Israeli settlers have been a routine practice in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Settlers’ violence includes property and mosque arsons stone-throwing uprooting of crops and olive trees attacks on vulnerable homes among others.

Between 500000 and 600000 Israelis live in Jewish-only settlements across the occupied Palestinian territories in violation of international law.

All settlements across the West Bank are illegal under international law particularly article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention which establishes that the occupying power shall not deport or forcibly transfer civilian population in territory it occupies.
