West Bank Pogroms

Over 670,000 Israeli settlers now reside in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, living in some 250 settlements and outposts—many illegal under international law. Settlements fragment the land, dissecting Palestinian cities, enclosing villages, and severing movement with bypass roads and military check points. Palestinians, around 2.8 million in the West Bank, are effectively hemmed in.

There is an escalating, systematic campaign of intimidation and displacement: a wave of settler violence sweeping the West Bank in what many now call a coordinated series of pogroms.
