Of course it was. The IDF doesn't want those people there. They are trying to systematically wipe these people out or make living conditions so hostile that they leave.

Israeli settlers just go in and take the things they want. "Settling" is such a weird word when they can just go in and take your whole house.

I believe there's a term that came out in the 1930s that describes the concept of removing population to make room for your ethno-state. Lebensraum.

What a perfect word for what the Israeli government is doing. I'm sure they would love for people to start referring to Israelis expansion as a Nazi style lebensraum.
