Advancing a False narrative of "Extremist Jewish Settler Violence".
Israel Breaking News:
"Amid a rise in attacks by extremist Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank in recent months, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir says troops must not "stand by." "Alongside determined fighting against terrorism and strengthening security and Jewish settlement, we are required to strictly uphold law and order and to prevent crime of all kinds, including nationalist crime. These do not strengthen security; they harm the settlement [movement], the IDF, and the State of Israel," Zamir says at a handover ceremony for the chief of the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories, known as COGAT. "IDF commanders and soldiers, as well as the other security organizations, have both an operational and moral duty to act immediately and not stand by when they detect illegal acts by violent groups, and to protect uninvolved civilian populations," he says. Zamir says incoming COGAT chief Maj. Gen. Yoram Halevi, together with the IDF Central Command, Israel Police, and Shin Bet, "bear from this moment the command responsibility to warn and act to prevent this phenomenon without fear." "I am confident that your experience will assist in this," he adds.

My Comments:
Unfortunately IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir advanced the false narrative of "Extremist Jewish Settler Violence". This seems to be a recurring phenomenon prior to Prime Minister Netanyahu's trip to Washington DC.
IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir is acting against Israel's Security interests by by actually putting Settlers in a negative light.
IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir should be smart and defend the Hilltop Settlers and even advocate to free Amiram ben Uliel who was convicted of torching an Arab family. This conviction was totally based on self confession following torture with no collaborating supporting evidence of Amiram responsible of the arson.
Defending and speaking up in support of Jewish Settlers is also a smart military strategy and does not require shooting a bullet.
It is the best way to demoralize our enemies and use their own psychological weapons to fight.
Israel is in a territorial war.
Hamas can not compete with Israel's military strength.
IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir does not openly publicly "approve" nor stand up for Settler shepherds, often unarmed Hilltop Youths, and farmers who are trying to defend and protect our land. The Settler modus operandi is quite different than the IDF's, albeit effective especially when partnering together with the IDF.
Unfortunately, Gen. Eyal Zamir is literally playing into the hands of our enemies when he openly suggests there are "Extremist Violent Jewish Settlers".
This is similar to what Naftali Bennett did, who in the New York Times in 2015, one week after the Duma arson, with no investigation to speak of, condemned "fringe extremist Jewish Settlers" as being the perpetrators of the Duma Arson based on the say so of Shabak.
In Duma, there was no evidence whatsoever of Jewish perpetrators other than Hebrew graffiti on the scene which probably framed Jews as perpetrators.
Advancing the false "Extremist Jewish Settler Violence" narrative is unfortunately politically rewarding on an International stage.
Former President Biden as well had nothing better to focus on than a few "Extremist Jewish Settlers" to sanction by Executive order. He was President of the US yet this was what he was busy with?
Apparently our enemies see "Extremist Violent Jewish Settlers" as their greatest threat.
Are these shepherds and farmers and unarmed kids far more threatening than the IDF with all its military strength?
Our enemies fight with psychological weapons. Israel is stronger militarily but this hasn't won us the war. Perhaps it is because Israel fails to confront, acknowledge and fight for our religious Biblical ideological root justification of this conflict.
Our Jewish Settlers by their very essence are fighting the enemy on our enemies' terms while the IDF unfortunately is not. Therefore these "Extremist Violent Jewish Settlers" apparently ARE more dangerous from our enemies perspective.
Our enemies only need to show to the world moral equivalency... that there are "Extremist Violent Jewish Settlers" when it is very obvious to all, that there are Extremist Violent Hamas.
From the enemies perspective, Israel must not be handed the higher upper moral ground. That is why a statement by IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir even suggesting there are 'Extremist Violent Jewish Settlers" is problematic and playing into their psychological warfare.
The "Settlers" are portrayed in the eyes of the world, as equivalent to Hamas because we Jews say so ourselves. This "fringe" group then becomes a fraudulent reflection on all "Settlers", and a reflection on the Settlement community, and a reflection of Israeli society who nurtured them. From there the blood libel grows to be a negative reflection on the IDF and reflects negatively on the Israel's Defense Forces.
IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir can then be libeled as well as being a "Genocidal" Chief of Staff of the IDF for defending Israel, no different than these "Extremist Israeli Settlers".
We saw the great lengths the System took to condemn and convict Amiram ben Uliel with a false narrative which was then magnified as Amiram portrayed as being a ticking time bomb and then with Amiram punished beyond his conviction, placing him under extreme isolation far worse than convicted Jihadists.
Distancing oneself from "Extremist Violent Jewish Settlers" actually backfires. This is often the case of Israeli politicians and Right Wing Jewish leaders dependent on political power and or funding.
Zamir's declaration of "Extremist Settler Violence" is the prize our enemies desperately want in order to give Hamas and the PA legitimacy. Zamir foolishly handed our enemies the psychological moral high ground that enables Hamas and Abbas to survive and gives Hamas legitimacy so long as " Violent Extremist Jewish Settlers" exist.
But the real reason to defend the Jewish Hilltop Settlers is not the above but rather because these sacrificing Settlers' ideology accurately reflects true Torah values.
When grass roots Jews, Hamonei Am, Secular, Religious, Dati, Chiloni, Chareidi Jews unite to yearn for Eretz Yisroel, determined to fight for and Settle in Eretz Yisroel, keeping G-d's Commandments and do so out of simple faith and Love of G-d, no different than the Jews leaving Egypt, we will merit as a Nation to witness great miracles. We will see our enemies crushed and defeated, and G-d's Greatness acknowledged by our enemies.
May the time come very speedily soon. AMEN Ken Yehi Ratzon!
