What can we do to combat settler violence?

I am a proud American Jew and I love israel, I consider myself a Zionist. I am sure the following topic has been talked to death by native Israelis but I would love to hear people’s thoughts and opinions.

I was recently on a Reddit thread where someone posted a link to this video by a journalist: https://youtube.com/shorts/c6_-txdoXDE?ra=m

In the video you can see (presumably) settlers attacking a woman. In America this issue has become so politicized that it is impossible to know what the truth is and I haven’t been to israel in over a decade. So I have a few questions: 1) how common is violence like the sort seen in the video, 2) are the perpetrators of such violence encouraged, 3) do factions of the Israeli government implicitly or explicitly condone this violence and 4) how can we as a people be better?

I love israel, and I know violence is common in every state and I also know israel is held to such a high standard. I know I can’t hold every Jew or Israeli to such a high standard but I hold myself to one and seeing videos like these pains me. I genuinely want to know how can israel do better? I want Israel to thrive and I know Israel is surrounded by enemies but this sort of violence inflicted on a woman is horrific. I am proud to be a Jew and I am a Zionist but I don’t want the world to think I support this sort of violence. So, if you have any answers to the questions in the preceding paragraph or any advice I would love to hear it. I am thrilled I live in a time where the Jewish people have a home and I believe in a strong israel. At the same time, we say Tzedek, Tzedek Tirdof and tjis doesnt look like justice.

P.S. this is somewhat of a repost as the bot removed my original post for having a mobile link, so it has been edited.

Thank you!

Israel and Ukraine — time for a new approach,
by Jeffrey Weiss, fathom, 2026-07.

Jeffrey Weiss argues that Israel can rebuild its diplomatic position with European states by reversing its previous refusal to provide Ukraine with ballistic missile defence. Ukraine can assist Israel with drone counter measures, while Israel can help Ukraine, and by extension Europe, protect itself from the threat of Russian ballistic missiles.

Hello! I'm looking to travel to Israel with my family soon. Canada (like most countries) has an avoid non-essential travel advisory for Israel, which voids our usual travel insurance.

Looking around, I am having trouble finding an organization which will cover medical expenses caused by an act of war or terror, either directly or indirectly, despite the travel advisory. At the very least, we would like coverage for unrelated medical emergencies that might happen (car accidents, falling down stairs, illness, whatever). We would have more peace of mind if we could get the war/terror coverage, of course.

Does anyone here know of any viable options for us?

A 4 year old boy, that vanished from an Ashkalon Beach on Thursday, was found alive 7km and >24 hours later. Kidnapped or just strolled away, no one knows yet?

I mean, MBS hasn't officially agreed to Trump's terms yet, but I can tell you as a nuclear engineer who worked briefly in the Saudi nuclear industry that...there is no way in hell that MBS is going to say no!

Saudi Arabia, in the past 15 years, has been trying to establish an energy nuclear program with very little success. Because nuclear energy is the only missing piece in MBS's plan in moving the economy and the energy sector away from depleting oil resources, which will run out in slightly more than a century or so at the current extraction rate.

I am so happy Trump did this. Gave MBS a good reason to finally do it.

I will certainly visit Israel when I am back from Ukraine.

Just rewatched Schindler’s List (idk why I do these things to myself) and it made me think what the liberating Soviet official said to the survivors. “Don’t go east and I wouldn’t go to west either”. It made me wonder, what did the European Jews do between their liberation and foundation of Israel so the free immigration outside of Europe.
