    There is no war in the west bank.

    Per the article, Israel has declared war on the West Bank when they declared war against Hamas.

    I find that declaration sweeping and a bit difficult to defend, but it has happened.

    All of this violence in the west bank has been thoroughly documented by HRW and B’Tselem. The Israeli settler’s and the IDF’s behaviour is decidedly not a consequence of ‘the war’

    This current violence is absolutely predicated upon the war legally, and more importantly in human terms, driven by hate - which is most assuredly because of the war.
