The world turns a blind eye to Israeli terrorism.

No it doesn’t. There are literally dozens of news stories about this incident including ones from every major news outlet (BBC, NYT, Guardian, etc.)

And nothing bad happens to the settlers.

It is important to note that this is not an isolated incident, and this story has only reached the news because the victims are European dignitaries. Those pogroms (there's no other word to describe those incidents) are happening on a daily basis, and the scale (multiple attacks per day) makes it apparent that this not just random violence, but a coordinated campaign to ethnically cleanse the rural Palestinian population of the West bank.

It's election campaigning, nothing more, nothing less. Can't wait for that to finally be over, maybe then some sense will come back to Israeli politics.

It's not, this happens constantly in the West Bank. It's also weird that attacking civilians would be considered election campaigning?

Imagine the reactions if it would not be Israeli 'settlers' also known as terrorists, but Syrians or Afghan people doing the attacks...

What will the French government do? What does our government do when Americans are attacked by Israelis? Nothing. There can be little more proof that our governments are occupied than that!

Is be very surprised if there is any other action other than some statements condemning the attack. I wonder what's the line that needs to be crossed before some actions are taken against the government of Israel, which constantly allows this. My guess is that even killing some (<10) Europeans still would not cut it.

Well, you’re not aware of history then. Settlers suck, more needs to be done to manage them, there have been many interventions to deal with them over the years. Less so recently, hopefully that will change. There is an election in Israel next weekend.

The IDF was present, they shot tear gas at the Palestinians. "More needs to be done", LOL.

Netanyahu's line today is that Arabs and leftist activists are provoking Jewish settler attacks and/or staging the violence.
