Opinion: Western Media Distorts Reality of West Bank Settlers

Author Uri Geller argues that Western media outlets create an "illusion of truth" by repeatedly portraying West Bank settlers negatively, despite most being peaceful. He claims recent incidents were covered without essential details that would challenge this narrative, and that settler violence is exaggerated compared to Palestinian violence. Geller cites statistics suggesting only a few hundred out of 750,000 settlers are violent, and that this distorted image is reinforced by constant repetition in the media.
