A moment of calm before the car hits the schoolgirls as they walk alongside the empty street during the daytime in Palestine

In a horrific and seemingly deliberate attack on Monday, a car driven by an Israeli settler ran over three schoolgirls in Palestine.

The attack was perpetrated in Tarqumiya, Hebron, in the occupied West Bank, where settlers continue to rampage.

The three victims have been hospitalised with serious injuries and at least one of the girls is in critical condition, it has been reported.

Police in Palestine seized the vehicle, which crashed shortly after the crime, and arrested the driver. However, the Palestinian Authority is not allowed by the occupation to prosecute Jewish Israelis. Meanwhile, the Israeli authorities have an appalling record of impunity for criminal settlers.

Settler violence against innocent Palestinians in the occupied West Bank has been high for decades, but has escalated dramatically since the occupation regime began its genocide in Gaza. At least three other teenagers in the West Bank were murdered in the past week in separate incidents.

    Israel is a deeply violent society, I shudder to think what it is going to take to forcefully stop Israel from committing genocide in Gaza, The West Bank and Lebanon.

    We are headed quite quickly towards Israel using a nuclear bomb in my opinion.

      Unfortunately, history dictates that they won’t stop with Lebanon. There’s only one way to stop them. We all know what it is. Instead, Germany and the UK are locking up their own citizens for pointing out reality. We’ve learned nothing from history, as usual, so here it comes around again.

        They were wrong, that doesn’t change the fact that Israel is literally doing everything within it’s power to prove them right.

            Right for being antisemitic?

            No, they were not right for being antisemitic you troglodyte. For the same reason you shouldn’t hate someone for being Muslim.

            Religions are tools used to control the masses that live under them. Religious men using religion to stoke violence, the Zionists, are the problem ‐ not the Jews.

    It’s telling how two Jewish men getting stabbed in London is front page news and something like this doesn’t even warrant a mention.
