Official 🇨🇦 policy is that "Canada does not recognize permanent Israeli control over territories occupied in 1967 (the Golan Heights, West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza)." So why does Travel Canada suggest these territories belong to Israel by listing them under Israel? 2/2

These horrors are all too common. It breaks my heart how Palestinians are tortured and their land stolen. ♥️

A study by Israeli human rights org Yesh Din found that between 2005 and Sept. 2023, 94% of Israeli police investigations into violent attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians were closed without an indictment, and only 3% ended in convictions. END www.timesofisrael.com/ngo-says-onl...
NGO says only 6% of police probes of settler violence it was party to ended in charges
A 19-year study by Yesh Din finds that over 80% of investigations it reviewed were closed due to police failures, arguing this indicates 'deliberate Israeli policy'

Israeli forces rarely intervene to stop these attacks, in fact, they are often seen standing by coordinating with and protecting the settlers as they commit the violent attacks. Further, the attacks are rarely prosecuted by Israeli authorities. twitter.com/nour_odeh/st...

Violent settler attacks have also been increasing. In the first 6 months of 2023 alone, the UN recorded 591 settler-related incidents resulting in Palestinian casualties, property damage, or both. This represents a monthly average of 99 incidents for the first 6 months of 2023.

Violent attacks by illegal Israeli settlers occur regularly against Palestinians and their properties - these settlers are often protected by Israeli forces. Between 2010-2019, UN OCHA recorded at least 2,955 settler attacks with 22 Palestinians killed and at least 1,258 injured.

And while illegal Israeli settler Amiram Ben-Uleil was convicted and sentenced for this attack, this case (likely owing to the international outrage it sparked) represents the exception, not the norm when it comes to violent attacks on Palestinians by illegal Israeli settlers.
