When Settler Violence Became a Pattern

Why has settler violence in the West Bank persisted for decades with almost no prosecutions? This episode traces the pattern back to the early 1980s, examines the bizarre legal architecture where two populations on the same land face different legal systems, and explains how jurisdictional fractures between the IDF, Israel Police, and border police create a system where everyone is responsible and no one acts. We also look at what happens when soldiers stop standing aside and start joining in — and why the footage hasn't changed the 90% closure rate.
