There wouldnt be a need for those weapons if WE end the occupation, end apartheid! I dont get why some countries are allowed to resist occupation and others aren't. Settlers (Jewish immigrants from around the world), who keep moving in and living on Palestinian occupied land in the west bank, have been attacking Palestinians and wreaking havoc with the protection of the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) , and is the reason why Palestinians have been rising up. The hell that Palestinians have to go through on daily basis cannot be observed on Western Mass Media BUT can be viewed on Aljazeera news, english.wafa.ps , many other Arabic speaking news, Instagram and Tiktok with a simple search. A FREE PALESTINE is the only road to peace!

In two volatile spots in the occupied West Bank, Israel has installed robotic weapons that can fire tear gas, stun grenades and sponge-tipped bullets at Palestinian protesters.

Excellent. Make Israel safe for its citizens.

There would be no need for these weapons if there weren't anti-semitism, and terrorism, but I guess radical Arab extremists reap what they sow.

Israel is the ONLY Democracy in the Middle East, and it deserves all the support it can get to keep it safe and free.

Funny how "we stand with Ukraine" but not with Palestine (or Syria, or Yemen, or the myriad other countries where the US is the aggressor itself, or approves of the undemocratic regimes bombing civilians)

And you never saw politicians in the US objecting to "aggression in Ukraine" for the 8+ years the only aggressor was the US installed regime.

Israel is an ethnic democracy. Israel is not a liberal democracy as its Palestinian citizens do not enjoy equal rights.

For a nation founded on Palestine lands that were escaping gassing in Europe, according to civilians in Nablus, these AI indiscriminate weapons constantly gas the citizens continually. Israel still can’t get its head around, just because the have 100% backing from USA at all levels, Palestinians, although severely oppressed are not some lower form of human species. Yes they have internet, social media and NGOs.

Violence in the West Bank has surged over the past several months as Israel has ramped up arrest raids after a spate of Palestinian attacks within Israel killed 19 people last spring. The violence has killed more than 130 Palestinians this year and at least another 10 Israelis have been killed in recent attacks

And that, is the reason for this weaponry.

Israel provides a democratic society for its citizens, while countries like Lebanon and Iraq discriminate against Palestinian Arabs.

So, the Palestinian Arabs feel safe and welcomed in Israel's historic lands.

@painkiller Excellent. Make Israel safe for its citizens.

What you aren't getting is that these "settlers" as called by everyone including the Israelis do not live in Israel but outside in the West Bank, on occupied Palestinian stolen land. This is where Apartheid is practiced. Anyway, Every year more land is stolen and given away for new settlements. This has been happening since 1967 when the Arabs lost the war and the rest of Palestine became occupied.

Palestinian Arabs are Sunni. Lebanese and Iranian are Shiite.
