Mohammad was the 1001st Palestinian killed by Israeli forces and settlers in the occupied West Bank since October 7, 2023—among them 213 children, some as young as two years old.
His killing is not separate from settler violence. It is necessary to the colonial project. The bullet that killed Mohammad was fired by the same ideology that burned cars in Ramallah, the same system that arms settlers, the same state that authorizes terror against Palestinians as a tool of control.
Call them what they are. Israeli settlers are not civilians. They are not “fringe extremists.” They are not “nationalists.” They are a state-directed paramilitary arm deployed to ethnically cleanse Palestinian land. Every week, they burn, beat, shoot, and expel Palestinians from their homes in the West Bank, and every week they do it with government financing, military protection, and full impunity under apartheid law. The world must stop laundering their crimes. This is terrorism.
