All these accusations, all these examples, over all those years. It could be a racist meme, of course.

But we aren't talking about normal people here, normal israeli citizens. Those settlers are religious fanatics who don't mind whether they have to kill to restore Israel or whether they die.
Those people burn down palestinian groves.
Those people steal land.
Those people lynch Palestinians.
I read an interview about 1-2 years ago where such a settler, a mother, was asked whether she's not afraid about her children playing in this dangerous environment, between razor-wire and stuff. She said that she wasn't afraid for her children, because if they were to die they would have died for God's cause.

These are religious fanatics and I have yet to see an act of malice that is beyond the pale for a religious fanatic.
