Eight Israeli settlers were arrested by troops for rioting and assaulting Palestinians and IDF soldiers in the northern West Bank overnight and Wednesday morning, the Israel Police and the Shin Bet security service said.

Hours later, a court ordered all eight released.

In the nearby town of Huwara, settlers carried out another attack against Palestinians, setting fire to property and hurling stones.

The Yesh Din anti-occupation watchdog said a house of a family of seven was set ablaze, as well as two vehicles. The group said neighbors saved the family from the blaze, but the father was attacked with rocks and sticks and was hospitalized with skull fractures.

1. With Trump's election, I think Palestinians face obliteration.

It’s clear that Netanyahu and his right-wing ministers plan to take Gaza away from them. Netanyahu is encouraging settlers to commit violence and kill West Bank Palestinians who are being forced into an ever smaller amount of land. Neither Trump nor Netanyahu cares what happens to Palestinians.

2. I have seen a picture of Netanyahu

Holding a picture of a map of Israel that has Gaza Strip, West Bank and Golan included. Guess he got exactly what he he wanted.

7. Of course millions in that land have no voting rights.

9. That would only be true if you accept Netanyahu's claim to all of that land.

I don't think the matter is as settled as your observation suggests it to be.

4. You are talking about a small group of religious fanatics, not Jews. I would delete this post if I were you

5. It appears that this group is equally hostile to IDF as they are to the West Bank Palestinians.

Most of Israel hates these religious fanatics.

6. The courts, armed forces, and government love them apparently.

They do not get shot dead when throwing stones.

8. What do you know about Israeli courts, armed forces or government to make this statement?
