Israeli settler violence and terrorism against Palestinians in the Occupied Territories has been on the rise for many years, but the rate at which this violence is perpetuated has seen a significant spike in the past few years. The most egregious incidents often make headlines, such as the settler rampage in the village of Huwara last March or the 2014 fire-bombing in Duma. Yet the vast majority of settler attacks on Palestinians go largely unnoticed in the international and Israeli press. Meanwhile, many of the most violent settlers and settlements maintain extensive organizational and financial ties with actors in the United States and other Western nations.
