"The text of the two orders stated that they were issued by Yossi Segal..., to approve a temporary decision on government lands for the purpose of grazing.

Recently, #Israeli settlers have seized large areas of land in the #WestBank under the pretext of grazing their livestock. To impose de facto control, they release cows and sheep into the plains and mountains, control them, and prevent #Palestinians from reaching them.

Pastoral settlement constitutes one of the most serious challenges to Palestinians looking to preserve their land."

The abyss in the enforcement of international law, and the absence of any conscience, gives rise to the "just one more chip" approach to land seizure. The settlers also largely have an insane sense of entitlement to the land based on their religious mindset.
