Nope, if you want to keep your citizens safe you don't place them in the middle of a hostile territory and surround them with troops, you just occupy the locals and try to make sure they are not able to attack the citizens residing, legally, in your own country. The settlers are the Israeli human shields for land acquisition and the subsequent annexation attempts ( that nobody recognizes )and the building of the annexation wall further supports the case against the rubbish argument that it is a self defence venture.
Kfar Etzion , the first illegal settlement was built in 1967 and the programme to settle the Palestinian lands was given the go ahead before the dust of war had even settled. The plan was always to illegally settle the land and create a fake "peace process" that would serve as a subterfuge for it.
Of course they are, compare how many were killed and/or injured in just the March of Return protests which took place in their own territory. Then we have the regular " mowings of the lawn " attacks by Israel. Add to that the every week occurances of Palestinian dead in both the Gaza strip and West Bank.
Nobody claimed there is but you only condemn it when Palestinians do it and you defend it when Israeli IDF people do it. The word for such a position is hypocrisy
They aren't human shields they are settlers. Claiming that someone is a human shield because others will try to murder him if he chooses to live somewhere is absurd.
How many Palestinians were killed in the past year? 3? 4? "Killed in droves" seems like a very bad attempt at lying and propaganda.
