"Settler" is too neutral a term to describe these thieving jackasses.

"ethnic cleanser"

In 2021, the Armenian patriarch of Jerusalem, Nourhan Manougian, agreed a 98-year lease over part of the Armenian quarter with the developers.

There are plenty of critical ways to describe this agreement, but I really don't think "theft" is an accurate one.

These settlers are completely out of control.

No, no, no. They are full in control, instead.

Good thing they got those masks to protect their chins from catching COVID.

At this point why don't we just glass the area and deal with that humanitarian crisis instead. This is what happens when you give a bullied person the gun, they start to shoot everyone because how could 'they' possibly be anything but the victim(imaginary man's supposed people).
