UN rights office says Israeli settlements in Occupied Territories amount to a 'war crime'

The report covers the one-year period from Nov. 1, 2022, to Oct. 31, 2023, when it says roughly 24,300 housing units in existing settlements in the West Bank were “advanced” — the highest number in a year since monitoring began in 2017. It deplored an increase in the building of new settlement homes in recent months.

“The West Bank is already in crisis. Yet, settler violence and settlement-related violations have reached shocking new levels, and risk eliminating any practical possibility of establishing a viable Palestinian state,” U.N. human rights chief Volker Türk said. He presented the report to the Human Rights Council on Friday.

Much of the international community considers the settlements to be illegal under international law.

Israel is an exceptional, freedom-loving State amidst a land of dictatorships... It's best to acknowledge that, and assist Israel at all costs.

Everytime someone supports the enemies of Israel, they are supporting dictatorship ideology. IMO.

If there's anyone left who cares about freedom anymore, it would be nice if they support it.
