The Hidden System Behind Settler Violence | Abdaljawad Omar

What is really driving settler violence in the West Bank?In this episode of Fronts & Faultlines, Palestinian academic and writer Abdaljawad Omar traces the historical continuity between the Zionist movement, settler militias and Israeli state power. The discussion explores the expansionist logic of “Greater Israel,” the fragmentation of Palestinian resistance, the legacy of Oslo, and why Western sanctions against settlers may amount to little more than political theatre. To understand the West Bank, he argues, we have to look beyond individual settlers and at the wider system of land expropriation, occupation, colonialism and political control. Fronts + Fault Lines is developed by the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM), an organisation of Palestinian and Arab youth in the diaspora struggling for the liberation of our land and people, and hosted by organisers Jeanine and Nihal.👉 Support us by becoming a paid subscriber from as little as £1 a month.
