Israeli Military's Unequal Enforcement Exacerbates Palestinian Marginalization in the West Bank

The conflict in the West Bank has its roots in the 1967 occupation, which was a turning point in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Israeli military's actions are a manifestation of the broader structural issues plaguing the region, including the occupation, settlement expansion, and the lack of Palestinian self-determination.

The use of force and the suppression of Palestinian resistance are a continuation of the same patterns of oppression that have been used against Native American, African, and other indigenous communities. An independent investigation into the Israeli military's actions, a more nuanced and inclusive approach to policing the occupation, and support for Palestinian self-determination and statehood are all necessary to break the cycle of violence and build a more just and equitable society.
