After nearly two years of war between Israel and the militant group Hamas, and more than 60,000 people killed in Gaza, momentum is building internationally for the recognition of a Palestinian state.

Palestinians in the West Bank are unable to mourn 31-year-old Awdah Hathaleen, while the Israeli settler who shot him walks free.

This political theatre is utterly absurd. One cannot meaningfully sanction settler violence while maintaining full diplomatic, economic and military support for a regime that is, by definition, a settler regime. The settler and the state are inseparable.
