> Violence by Israeli settlers and land confiscation in the occupied West Bank have reached record levels. Historian Zachary Foster called Israel’s government the most right-wing in its history, saying competing right-wing parties seek to be the most violent and genocidal towards Palestinians. He argued that “the Nakba never ended” and that Israel has pursued the expulsion of Palestinians since 1967 through policies stripping them of rights.
