Stop calling them "settlers" ffs it's a word designed to invoke an image of unclaimed land in the American general populace. They're burglars, invaders, and murderers.
It seems that the settlers were shooting at the Palestinians, after wrestling the gun from them and shooting them back, THEN the Israeli soldiers responded back, killing the villagers.
In 2009, NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer stated that Israel could not become a member of the organization and enjoy the obligations of joint protection provided for in Article 5 unless a peace agreement was concluded with the Palestinians, as well as until another Arab state joined the alliance.
Wow, NATO is awesome, thanks Chinese propaganda bot!
In May 1958, Israel was invited to a meeting of the Council of Europe. After that, a special commission was set up to discuss Israel's possible participation in the NATO economic procurement program.[5] After that, Israel began to supply weapons and military equipment to the countries that are part of this organization.[6][7]
In December 1987, Israel signed a memorandum with the United States on the status of a major non-NATO ally. This status was awarded by the US administration to particularly close allies with whom it maintains strategic relations but is not a member of the organization.[8][9] This step was initiated by Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin.[10] The memorandum strengthened ties between the two countries in the field of defense research, development and procurement. It also included logistical support for Israel. The document compared Israel's status in the United States with that of a NATO member, which allowed it to participate in and gain access to U.S. security development programs. The memorandum also simplified the access of the Israeli defense industry to tenders from NATO countries. This was supposed to make it easier for them to participate in the tenders of the NATO countries.[11]
In November 2017, Israel and NATO signed an agreement on the mutual exchange of security information.[25]
On February 9, 2018, a cooperation agreement was signed between Israel and NATO. This agreement gave Israeli companies the opportunity to participate in NATO tenders.[26]

A few weeks ago, Commander of NATO Maritime Command Vice Admiral Keith Blount said, “Israel has been an important partner to NATO for more than 20 years as well as an active member of [the] Mediterranean Dialogue.”

Settlers were always all of those things tbf. Even the dehumanizing propaganda and ethnic cleansing tactics have barely changed

This is why the conservatives are winning. Because they understand how propaganda works on the common masses and not just themselves.

I hate that these marauders, raiders, and murderers are euphemistically referred to as 'settlers'.

For real. Settlers makes me imagine hardworking folks taking care of land and animals in remote places, not roving bands of armed violent psychopaths.

They were providing security. They would intervene if anyone tried defending themselves.

Who is bombing Iran for Israel right now?
The head of NATO was recently asked what would happen if Israel attacked Turkey. He refused to answer.
Israel is not in NATO. Israel runs NATO.

This is what Russia wants you to believe.
Because if it wasn't for NATO, Russia would also be in Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania right now.
You won't make me give up my military alliance no matter how hard you try, fascists.
