Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Casualty Statistics Driving a False “Settler Violence” Narrative in the West Bank
2025-12-17
[HonestReporting] Key takeaways:

  • The media consistently frames Israel and Israelis living in the West Bank as aggressive and violence-driven, using statistics provided by the UN.

  • The media has reported over 1,000 Palestinians as being killed by both the IDF and by Israelis living in the West Bank. However, most Palestinians killed have not been at the hands of Israeli civilians, but by the IDF during counter-terrorism operations, with many of those killed affiliated with terrorist organizations or after they committed acts of terrorism.

  • By warping and misreporting statistics, the media has created an inaccurate and misleading narrative about violence in the West Bank.
