I read somewhere that soldiers don't have the ability to arrest settlers or anyone, but they are obligated to defend them against attacks. At the same time, police áre allowed to arrest settlers, but they are not there because those lands tend to be outside their jurisdiction.

[@itamargortzak1009]

They can't arrest neither, they can detain and eventually pass you on to military police/Israeli police respectively, and they do that. obviously there are mistakes but altogether Israel as a state and the IDF isnt intentionally instructing to discriminate.

[@itamargortzak1009]

True. As a combat medic I personally treated many of them in incidents that werent related to the Army, it was actually mostly car accidents and violence related.. but the media wont show that

[@mcb00]

There IS a system of apartheid in area C, in which 4% of the west bank population lives. This is an area that is administered by Israel (civil and military) in agreement with the Palestinian Liberation Organization in the Oslo Accords in the year 1995. Context: Israel has repeatedly tried to return Area C to Palestinian control as outlined in the peace offers in 2000, 2008, essentially offering 100% of the Palestinian land marked by the 1967 borders, a state, everything they asked for and more (reparations etc) A brief summary of those deals in the comments below:

[@joshuaman11]

Key Points of the 2000 Peace Proposal Territorial Concessions: *Israel offered to withdraw from approximately 91% of the West Bank and the entirety of the Gaza Strip, with an additional land swap to compensate the Palestinians for the remaining 9% that Israel would retain. *The proposal included some territorial contiguity between Palestinian-controlled areas and a transportation link between the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Jerusalem: *The proposal divided East Jerusalem. Palestinian neighborhoods would fall under Palestinian sovereignty, while Jewish neighborhoods and the Old City, particularly key religious sites, would remain under Israeli control. *There was also a suggestion for a special arrangement in the Old City to allow access to religious sites, including the Western Wall and the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Refugees: *The issue of Palestinian refugees was addressed with a framework that included compensation, limited right of return to the Palestinian state (not Israel), and international funding to assist in resettlement or compensation. Security Arrangements: *Israel sought security guarantees, including a demilitarized Palestinian state and Israeli control over certain strategic locations like the Jordan Valley for a transitional period. End of Conflict: *The agreement aimed for mutual recognition of each state and the end of all claims and hostilities.

[@joshuaman11]

*Key Points of the 2008 Proposal*: Territorial Concessions: *Israel proposed withdrawing from around 93% of the West Bank, with a land swap to account for the remaining 7%. This would allow Israel to keep major settlement blocs while compensating the Palestinians with equivalent land near the Gaza Strip. *The deal included establishing a corridor linking the West Bank and Gaza Strip, ensuring transportation access between the two territories. Jerusalem: *The proposal called for a division of Jerusalem. Arab neighborhoods in East Jerusalem would come under Palestinian sovereignty, while Jewish neighborhoods would remain under Israeli control. *The Old City, home to important religious sites, would be governed by an international body made up of five countries: Israel, Palestine, the United States, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. This special status was meant to ensure open access to holy sites for all faiths. Refugees: *The deal suggested that a limited number of Palestinian refugees could return to Israel, while others would have the option of resettling in the new Palestinian state or third countries, along with financial compensation and international assistance. Security Arrangements: *Israel proposed a demilitarized Palestinian state with its own police force. It also sought international peacekeeping forces in the Jordan Valley and other key areas to ensure long-term security and stability. End of Conflict: *The proposal aimed to achieve mutual recognition and a final end to the conflict, with both sides renouncing further claims against each other.

So let me see if i am getting this right.. These 5 million Palestinians shouldn’t have a country nor an army (you voted against Palestinian statehood) and they also shouldn’t have passports to leave nor have Israeli citizenship and when they are attacked you don’t owe them protection although you have been the ones ruling them through military occupation for 57 years now.. is that the situation right now or did i get something wrong

[@Mateau35]

They have their own passports, which they then use to travel abroad through Jordan. They aren't owed anything by the Israeli government/the military since they aren't Israeli citizens, and if they live in A or B territories, then they have the Palestinian Authority that is in charge of them. The Israeli army is tasked with protecting the Israelis living in the West Bank and if possible also thwart potential terrorist attacks planned by terror groups like Hamas, Fatah et cetera. The situation is always tense and can get very dicey because of the security issues there, and so everyone is more jumpy and paranoid, and that would explain (although not justify) a situation where an IDF soldier mistreats a Palestinian (for example at a security checkpoint) because of fear that they might be a terrorist, planning to kill civilians or soldiers, where they might just be a normal civilian just going about their life. There have been cases where IDF soldiers were arrested and prosecuted for misconduct towards Palestinians (see for example El'or Azaria trial 2016). The IDF is also tasked with clearing out illegal settlements in the West Bank propped up by hilltop youth (you can look it up), and even just a few months ago it was reported (with video footage) that the IDF cleared out and uprooted an entire olive grove that settlers decided to plant illegaly (it was done in B territories, where Israelis are not supposed to live, as they belong to the PA).
