A Jewish lynch mob has raided the Palestinian village of Huwara this morning, assaulting two Palestinians. This, despite appearances, is not a story of "extremism". To describe it as such is to obscure the legal reality. Settler violence in the occupied Palestinian territory has long been directed by organs of the State. The perpetrators operate as auxiliary militias, at times in civilian clothes, at times in uniform, but increasingly with functions that blur any meaningful distinction. From that reality flows a conclusion that is as simple as it is complex. Under international law, responsibility lies not only with the individuals who wield the firearms, but with the occupying Power that supports their actions. The remedy is not another condemnation. It is compliance with the law. As the International Court of Justice has made clear, Israel's continued presence in the occupied Palestinian territory is unlawful. The obligation is to bring that presence to an end, completely, unconditionally, and without delay.
