Another disgrace in the face of Jewish terror: When will the IDF take responsibility?

An opinion piece by Einav Schiff criticizes the IDF's handling of Jewish terror in the West Bank, following the failure to return a Palestinian family to their home in the village of Jilud due to settler violence. The author argues that the army's response, which amounted to official condemnations, constitutes a "hollow theater" and calls for a firm declaration to enforce the High Court ruling and hold commanders accountable.

A scathing opinion piece by Einav Schiff attacks the IDF's handling of the phenomenon of Jewish terror in the West Bank, following a failed operation to return a Palestinian family to their home in the village of Jilud. The operation was not completed due to violence by about a hundred settlers, as assessed by the IDF. The author argues that the IDF Spokesperson's response, which included official condemnations and an explanation that "due to the violence, the mission to return them to their home was not completed," is a "hollow theater" and a "shocking facade." Schiff notes that the army should have firmly declared that the High Court ruling would be implemented promptly, that the family would return to their home, and that anyone who tries to harm them would face consequences. He calls on the Chief of Staff to declare the event a military and moral failure warranting a thorough investigation and accountability. The author compares the swift response that would have been given had Palestinians engaged in similar violence, and criticizes the army's ongoing lack of responsibility regarding Jewish terror. The article reflects harsh criticism of government and military policy, using emotionally charged language.
