Document Summary
Using things like sabotage, destroying palestinian property. Since 1986, jewish settlers in west bank and gaza have used violence against. This minority has been growing, and the israeli government has proved unwilling to deal with it- 90% of incidents have gone unpunished. Israel"s unilateral withdrawal from gaza in 2005 made some west bank settlers feel insecure (byman and sachs) Settlers have widespread access to weaponry, rarely face serious consequences from the. Israeli government, even when they attack israeli forces. From 2006-2014, there have been 2100 settler attacks on palestinians, there has been a. 400% increase from the rate in previous years. Israeli violence in the west bank both undermines the ability of israel to implement a potential deal with the palestinians and raises questions about whether it can enforce its own laws at home (byman and sachs, p. 2) Non-state actors: acting without the approval of israeli government. Para-state actors: however there is a connection between the settlers and the state.
