Fascinating tour into bowels of Itamar, the illegal Israeli settlement, and its security arrangements after the Fogel family killings, highlighting “civilian commandos” who operate in coordination with the Ministry of Defense and therefore raising the difficulty of classification of settlers as “non-combatants”, “civilians” or “combatants”.
It is, of course, a fundamentally important debate, which, for me, touches on the right of a state/country/nation/community to self-defence against foreign occupier, moral limits of expressions of self-defence, and on an ability of foreign occupier to flaunt International Law with impunity by means of political clout.
