While the world’s attention is on Gaza, life for Palestinians in the West Bank is also growing increasingly precarious. There has been a surge in settler violence and a spike in unlawful lethal force from Israeli forces.
More than 400 Palestinians from East Jerusalem and the West Bank have been killed by Israeli fire since 7 October, according to the Palestinian health ministry. The Israeli human rights group B’Tselem has said that about 100 of these deaths have been children, most of whom posed no credible threat to heavily armed soldiers from one of the most powerful militaries in the world.

Anybody notice that the small army of Israel apologists have started to drop off?
The longer this goes on, the more difficult it is to deny genocide.
Even /r/worldnews isn’t able to do much arguing against the new West Bank settlement expansion. There were some shills in the discussions over there still trying to push a “they deserve it” narrative, but it wasn’t getting much traction.
The best they can do at this point is try and push all blame on Netanyahu and Likud.
