Settlers' Economic War on Palestine: A Calculated Assault on Industry and Livelihoods The latest wave of settler violence in the occupied West Bank has targeted Palestinian factories and farmland, highlighting that Israel's occupation is as much about economics as it is about politics.
The arson attacks, property damage, and intimidation tactics employed by Israeli settlers are a carefully calculated assault on the foundations of Palestinian industry and livelihoods.
Since July alone, settler attacks have resulted in 440 incidents of property damage, 67 confiscations and thefts, and the vandalism or poisoning of over 5,000 trees.
