Harsh European criticism of Israel: The influential left-wing newspaper in France, "Le Liberation" this week published a large article on the front page of the newspaper dealing extensively with the attack carried out by settlers from Judea and Samaria in the village of Hawara and warning that "the immunity of the settlers is a danger to democracy in Israel."
The long editorial that was published constitutes a very sharp criticism even of the leftist circles in Europe and marks a strong line, not only at the level of the criticism but also at the level of importance that the newspaper chose to attribute to the events when the editorial was dedicated to them and appeared on the front page of the newspaper.
Severe clashes in Hawara after the attack
"What is happening in Israel is extremely serious. The settlers are taking power with the blessing of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is ready to do anything to save himself from a corruption scandal. Netanyahu is ready to free himself from the basic laws of democracy and turn Israel into an illiberal state," the newspaper said.
The "Liberation" continued and stated: "The power of the settlers and their abuse of the Palestinians is not a celebration. It began a few decades ago in order to fulfill the messianic vision of the Land of Israel, a vision promoted by Netanyahu and his governments, this process prevents the establishment of a united Palestinian state existed".
The newspaper published in its editorial a general and stereotypical description of the residents of Judea and Samaria: "Some of the settlers are poor Israelis looking to enjoy free housing. Others are fanatics who walk around armed in areas crowded with Palestinians, confident in their privileges. Attacking them means attacking Israel. They enjoy complete immunity. This The meaning of the punitive attack they carried out in the town of Hvara, after two of them were murdered."
