> Israeli Knesset member Ofer Cassif says attacks against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank amount to “state terrorism.” He describes settlers as proxies for the government and occupation forces, arguing that authorities finance, support and encourage their actions. Cassif points to recent assaults on Palestinian communities, including a fire allegedly set by settlers in Um al-Khair last Wednesday. He says people there were “almost burnt to death.”
