What else to expect from a Colonialist Settler Nation ? A colonialist power that has been given nuclear weapons by another colonialist power, to make sure that the colonialist project never dies, yet that have no shame in declaring themselves the inventors of the human rights principals and “Universalism”.

Israel has built about 160 settlements housing some 700,000 Jews since it occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem - land the Palestinians want as part of a future state - in the 1967 Middle East war.

Implying they didn’t already own the land before Zionists stole it from them. Fuck you, BBC.

And again I find myself wondering by what purported authority it is that Israel “approves” the construction of settlements on someone else’s land.

That’d be like reading that the Mexican government had “approved” the construction of Mexican settlements in Texas.
