Pro-Israel Democrats Decry Settler Violence in West Bank

Pro-Israel Democrats are speaking out against the surge in settler violence in the West Bank, as the violence against Palestinian civilians threatens to become a political liability for the party's traditional support of Israel.

In recent days, dozens of Israeli settlers have torched homes and vehicles and attacked Palestinians, often with Israeli forces standing by. Since the start of the month, settler attacks and police actions have killed at least 10 Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank, including two young brothers and their parents as they returned from a Ramadan shopping trip.
