Here is news you do not want to hear: Settlers in the West Bank Monday set fire to two trucks of humanitarian aid that were on their way to Gaza. Earlier in the day, the settlers had broken into the supply provisions when the convoy was at a stop. The West Bank settlers destroyed some supplies at that point, tossing cases to the ground to bust them open.
We, as a world, should do something. We, as humanity, need to step in. Our governments need to take measures to correct the settlers and help them see the terribleness of what they have done. Not only citizens can protest, but governments. And, in this case, governments should be protesting -- against the citizens. It would be beneficial if Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited the West Bank settlement to reason with the people. It would be great if other groups and organizations sent envoys to the settlers, joining in the protest. The U.N.? Yes, send someone to deal with and correct the problem.
The settlers who vandalized the aid convoy were angry. They supposed they were doing a just thing. It becomes important that we take the time to correct them and teach them just how wrong it was to commit these offenses.
