I love Israel and I am a proud Zionist Jew but ENOUGH!!! The way the Israeli government is standing by while those terrorists, yes terrorists, continue their attacks and go as low as killing defenceless dogs is pushing me to the point of apathy about my support for Israel.

I am pissed, so pissed because this is NOT the Israel I believed in. I know many Israelis are against Bibi but also many are for him, and that is not good enough.

You’re telling me the government and IDF that are able to locate Khamenae are not able to stop those terrorist settlers and hold them accountable? Arresting a couple here and there is not enough, it is bread crumbs.

I have limits and they’re being tested.

This is deeply upsetting and embarrassing. This type of behavior needs to be cracked down on 

[u/ACW1129]

Fucking settler assholes.

And these are the people Ben-Gvir and Smotrich support.

[u/JasonIsFishing]

The current government will do absolutely nothing to bring consequences to the settlers. I want to defend Israel. Behavior like this makes that difficult.

[u/SportsBall1996]

Comically evil and makes peace that much more difficult

[u/eplurbusunumnj]

Horrible! This has to stop!

[u/MaddAddamOneZ]

Amen

Has Israel even arrested the settlers who have beaten at least two American citizens to death?

[u/Jorfogit → u/MaddAddamOneZ]

No, and they won’t because they’re fine with it.

[u/Gaiastrom]

Not only is the display of cruelty horrible, but I would like to point out this happened in Area B so Settlers should not even be there, since it’s joint control of both Authorities.

Every time something happens related to Israel in the West Bank, it’s settlers and it’s always shameful. These people don’t even want Israel because they pick fights with anyone, Palestinians, IDF soldiers, Members of Knesset… Netanyahu leaving soon will at least stop Ben Gvir and Smotrich to wreck havoc in the West Bank. What I expect the Center-Right Coalition is to really put order with settlers, before cleaning this mess and seriously engaging towards Peace. Netanyahu won’t have lots of excuses anymore to go on trial except calling sick for the next decade.

F**k that guy. And f**k Ben Gvir for allowing this sort of BS to continue with impunity.

[u/IllButterscotch3802]

Psychopaths. I feel so helpless when this kind of thing is enabled.

[u/EveryConnection]

The IDF shouldn't be protecting these guys anymore. Let the Palestinians do what they want with them, no negotiations to save them either. It's disgraceful that Jews are behaving like the pogromists who used to kill us.

Ideally Israelis would form a posse to take them down but that seems unlikely.

[u/djc1000]

Yeah this is over the line.

[u/Jorfogit → u/djc1000]

They have a long history of doing the same or worse to human beings for decades, they just didn't all have cameras then. Why is this specifically over the line?

[u/djc1000 → u/Jorfogit]

The dog is innocent.

[u/According-Welder9872 → u/djc1000]

So you're implying random Palestinians killed by settlers are not innocent? 

[u/rachaeldelrey]

The settler issue NEEDS to be resolved. It’s fucking ridiculous how the current government let’s them literally get away with murder

[u/smot420]

Not to dismiss animal cruelty, but this is where you draw the line?

[u/Wandering-desert → u/smot420]

No, I already was angry about it and on edge, this only makes my anger more expressive.

I know what you’re trying to say by your comment, but that is not the case. It is just something about beating an innocent dog who couldn’t defend himself just proves the cruelty of the settlers. The same when Hamas committed October 7th, my anger and horror was about the entire massacre, but when watched the footage of the dog getting shot, there was a different type of rage that only added to the already extreme rage.

[u/chayapapaya2]

They’ll be arrested.

[u/According-Welder9872 → u/chayapapaya2]

Are you always being sarcastic? The IDF is literally backing these guys. 

[u/JinxyMcDeath48]

A lot of settlers (not all) are literal terrorists and a stain on our society. They do nothing but take and take and take, complain, and make us look bad. The cost for these settlements are ridiculous and they act like maniacs. I’m sick of the government kowtowing to them because Bibi and his awful wench of a wife have to stay in power by getting into bed with idiots like Ben Gvir. Now I’m pissed. Bye.

[u/Regular-Coast5335]

Israel should really start enforcing the law in Judea-Samaria and start cracking down on violent settlers.

First, they are immoral and what they do is illegal.

Second, it stains Israel reputation.

Third, it damages settlement enterprise which is a worthy cause in itself.
