On killing - Amira Hass in Haaretz:

‘Mi'tan’s murder did not take place in a vacuum. The exact details will be clarified through independent investigations in the coming days. But we can already recognize some of the patterns that enabled it: 1. Collaboration between settlers and state institutions. The outpost of Migron, south of Burqa, was built in 1999 on Burqa's land. After a court battle waged by villagers, together with the Peace Now movement, settlers were removed from the outpost in 2012, but the army forbade Palestinians, the legal owners, to return to their plots and till and develop them according to their needs. This prohibition was an invitation for those who three years ago established a sheep farm called Ramat Migron on the same hill. Palestinian farmers and shepherds in the area often report violent harassment by this outpost. The authorities have removed settlers from it several times, but they are undeterred and return again and again.’ 2. 2. Severing the village from its surroundings, to the point of economic and social suffocation, also appears systematic. Burqa lies less than 10 kilometers (six miles) east of Ramallah. One direct road to that city was blocked for the benefit of the settlement of Psagot, in the early 1980s. A second road was blocked in the early 2000s, when the outpost of Giv’at Assaf was built on the lands of the village of Beitin, across the northern exit from Burqa. This exit is still blocked.
3. Instead of a trip totaling less than 10 minutes, Burqa residents must take a long detour among neighboring villages to reach Ramallah, taking 30 to 45 minutes. The attendant expenses, as well as the loss of time, have a direct impact on the village’s poor economic situation. Even though in 2014 the army told the B’Tselem human rights group that the exit is not blocked, as far as it is concerned, concrete blocks and rocks placed there do not enable cars to get by. Pedestrians don’t dare walk there. The outpost of Oz Zion, which is repeatedly demolished and rebuilt, lies close to the blocked road.
4. This too is a method used by settlers: blocking roads and paths used by Palestinian villagers. The army stands off to the side. Thus, settlers blocked the direct exit from Qaryut to Highway 60, or the road from the village of Sinjil to its lands.’ (…)

‘All streams of the settler movement are coordinated. It is therefore not at all surprising that the head of Central Command, Yehuda Fuchs, is currently in the sights of settler representatives in the Knesset, who accuse him of being weak and enabling Palestinian freedom of movement. The opposite of “containment” is war. War is favored by the supporters of expansionism and annexation because in war it is easier to commit irreversible crimes on a mass scale.’

War makes it easier to commit crimes on a mass scale with impunity.

No, not all the settlers are that extreme, but most of the settlers tolerated the extremists, the fascists among them. And tolerated is a euphemism. On a larger scale, this can be said about the Israeli people.

The catastrophe started very early, after the end of the six-day-war, when the leftists in power hesitated or did nothing to turn the triumph into something more sustainable. Probably already earlier.
The problem with war, when it is not too costly, (lives lost, burden on the economy) it that it becomes addictive.
Messianic Judaism is part of the Jewish tradition, a catastrophic part, but within the realms of a Jewish state, the Messianic tendency will lead to utter destruction, not only of the so-called enemy, who has been largely destroyed already, but of the Jewish people.
