Why Israel has done little to curb settler violence, and why the reason is more than Netanyahu
- The report focuses on Israel’s limited efforts to curb settler violence in the West Bank.
- It says the explanation is not only tied to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
- The accompanying photos show a protest outside Beit Sahour, near the West Bank city, over land threatened with seizure by settlers.
- Israeli and foreign peace activists removed a metal Star of David structure from atop a Palestinian structure during the protest.
- Israeli soldiers and settlers later ordered the activists to leave the site.
The report examines why Israel has not done more to restrain violence by Jewish settlers in the West Bank. Its central point is that the problem cannot be explained only by Netanyahu’s role.
The photos attached to the story show a protest near Beit Sahour, where activists challenged a settler presence on land local owners say is threatened with seizure. The images place the issue in the context of a confrontation over territory and outposts.
In the scene described by AP, Israeli and foreign peace activists removed a metal Star of David structure from a Palestinian structure before soldiers and settlers told them to leave. The report uses that setting to illustrate the wider dispute over settler activity and Israel’s response to it.
以色列为何几乎未能遏制定居者暴力：原因不只在内塔尼亚胡
这篇报道讨论的是，以色列为何没有更积极地遏制约旦河西岸的定居者暴力。报道的核心意思是，这一问题不能仅仅归因于内塔尼亚胡个人。
配图显示，抗议发生在贝特萨霍尔附近，活动人士针对的是一片当地业主称正面临被夺取风险的土地。画面把这一争议放在土地和前哨定居点冲突的背景下。
按照美联社的图片说明，以色列和外国和平活动人士先拆下了放在一处巴勒斯坦建筑上的金属大卫之星装置，随后以色列士兵和定居者要求他们离开。报道借此呈现定居者活动及以色列应对方式所引发的更大争议。
