Comments on: ECAJ joins in slamming violent settlers https://www.jwire.com.au/ecaj-joins-in-slamming-violent-settlers/ Australia, NZ and worldwide Jewish news that matters Mon, 26 Aug 2024 08:31:08 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Liat Kirby https://www.jwire.com.au/ecaj-joins-in-slamming-violent-settlers/#comment-630751 Mon, 26 Aug 2024 08:31:08 +0000 https://www.jwire.com.au/?p=161437#comment-630751 Naomi Be, the settlers referred to are actually a group distinct from most of the Jews who live in Judea/Samaria. They are extremist and ultra-orthodox in belief to the point of living in a deluded cocoon of strict religious rulings that defy the necessary realities of living in a society where each person matters.

Being in the Diaspora does not preclude knowledge of Israel in real terms. A high percentage of Jews in the Diaspora have travelled frequently to Israel and/or lived there. I, myself, am a dual Australian/Israeli citizen. To be Jewish and living in the ancient capital territory of Kings Solomon and David does not infer rights to violent behaviour, and it should be condemned, the culprits dealt with through the law as any perpetrator of violence is.

To call jews living in Judea and Samaria, the ancient capital territory of Kings Salomon and David, ‘settlers’ is an insult to any jew.
It is easy to point fingers and moans and groan about what a key warrior would do, how about packing your bags and actually doing something real?
