West Bank Settler Sparks Outrage With Claim on Jewish and Palestinian Lives

West Bank Settler Sparks Outrage With Claim on Jewish and Palestinian Lives

In a reported exchange, a West Bank settler told a BBC reporter that he believed one Jewish life was worth “10 million” Palestinian lives. When challenged that the statement was racist, he acknowledged the description and said his belief was based on the idea that God had chosen Jewish people. The clip has sparked outrage and renewed debate over dehumanising rhetoric in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

One settler's reported view should not be used to flatten every Jewish person or every Israeli into the same belief.
