We speak to independent journalist Jasper Nathaniel, who has recently returned from documenting Israeli settler and state violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. Nathaniel describes being ambushed by settlers in October, on the first day of the olive harvest, in an attack that left one middle-aged Palestinian woman with a brain hemorrhage. "It was clear that this was a planned ambush," says Nathaniel. "They were out for blood." Earlier this week, the Israeli Cabinet approved 19 more settlements in the occupied West Bank. "What's happening right now is these really violent settlers are going out into the fields. They're stealing land from Palestinians," explains Nathaniel. "[Then the government will] retroactively legalize the land that was stolen, and basically reward the violent settlers by giving them the stamp of state legitimacy."
