He praised the security forces for “a successful operation in Jenin” and said “every terrorist who tries to harm our forces will pay with his life.”
Over the years, the Israeli authorities have failed to prevent settler attacks on Palestinian individuals and communities and to effectively intervene when they occur. Soldiers, to the contrary, have regularly stood by as settlers engage in wanton violence against Palestinians.
That was why, when I heard Israel’s state prosecutor, Amit Eisman, intimate in a speech that right-wing politicians were “seeking to undermine our legitimacy in the eyes of the general public,” I wondered if he had ignored the anti-democratic practices that Palestinians have endured for decades. The roots of this problem extend to the beginning of the occupation.
It is possible now to see a correlation between the tolerance of the illegality of the settlers’ project and what is now taking place in Israel regarding its legal system. Many warnings against this fell on deaf ears. Over time, illegality and anti-democratic practices became the norm in the occupied territories, and now they are spreading across the Green Line into the Israeli political system.
