Al Haq’s Tahseen Ellayyan writes, “If you are Palestinian, expect to be killed by Israeli forces at any time, even if you are an Israeli citizen. It has become clear that Israel is operating under a practice of shoot to kill Palestinians and ask no questions later.”
The burning to death of two Palestinian children over the past year by Israeli settlers is symptomatic of a larger violation of international law, established and maintained by Israel without limits: the Israeli settlement enterprise in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. It is one of the main obstacles towards achieving a lasting and just peace between Palestinians and Israelis.
