Palestinian Source: There Are Eight Times More Attacks on Israelis in the West Bank than on Palestinians
(Times of Israel) Dinah Bucholz - The Arab media outlet Mo3ta tracks incidents of Palestinian violence against Israelis in the West Bank, as they are very proud of it. An X user posted a screenshot from Mo3ta that details actions taken against Israelis from January 2018 to August 2026. In those 103 months, Palestinians engaged in 62,308 acts of violent confrontation with Israelis, about 605 incidents per month. These include shootings, stabbings, car rammings, stone throwing, suicide bombings, throwing grenades, and burning tires. The Times of Israel reported 867 incidents of Israeli violence in 2025, which works out to 72 per month. According to this Palestinian source, there are eight times more attacks on Israels than there are on Palestinians. This is not to excuse Israelis but to point out that people are hearing only one side of the story, a crazily skewed version. Israel makes up 0.013% of the land area of planet Earth. Its conflict with West Bank Palestinians is nothing compared to what's going on between gangs in Chicago, let alone a massive conflict like the one in Sudan that has left half a million dead in the same time span as the Gaza war. The fact that the world is up in arms about Israeli violence but couldn't care less about what's going on in Chicago or other cities in the U.S. means this is not about compassion for the innocent; this is about hating Israel.
