Bowen: Israeli settlers intensify campaign to drive out West Bank Palestinians

Israeli settlers are intensifying efforts to displace Palestinians in the West Bank. The settlers, led by figures like Meir Simcha, are actively expanding Jewish settlements in the region, aiming to thwart any hopes of an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel. Violence against Palestinians has been increasing, with accusations of Israeli security forces either complicit or directly involved in settler attacks. The settlers' beliefs in a divine connection to the land drive their mission to secure lasting Jewish possession, challenging efforts for peace and coexistence.
