A widely used United Nations report on an alleged increase in “Settler-related violence” against Arabs in Judea and Samaria contains a large amount of false and misleading information, according to an investigation by the Samaria Regional Council and other organizations.
The report, which can be found on the website of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), was found to include attacks committed by Arabs against Jews in addition to attacks by Jews against Arabs in its definition of ‘Settler-related violence,’ a classification that obscures the issue of antisemitic violence while making anti-Arab violence appear more common than it actually is.
It should be no surprise that the UN is using “settler violence” now as a means of accusing Israel of taking over “Palestinian land.”
