The sad truth is they don’t have to say anything. This has been going on for decades, it’s nothing new really and everyone is turning a blind eye. If the whole world ignores it, you don’t even have to defend yourself, isn’t that marvellous?

And the same thing applies here as everywhere else when it comes to Israel and Palestine. If you’re not explicitly pro Israel you’re an anti-Semite so your “opinion” doesn’t matter (even when there’s ample proof).

But if you complain about this kind of behavior of the Israeli government and the settlers, you are immediately called "aintisemite". And whatever atrocities have been discussed in the UN security council again and again, the US always protected them with a veto.

Thats simply not right. The settle policy has been highly critized by the EU and the USA. The EU even sanctioned Israel for it.

Yes, this might prompt the harshest reaction in decades: a letter with a stern condemnation. But I wouldn't count on it.
