If you speak French (or ask an native french speaker "indigenous" to translate), you can have an ultra-orthodox Israeli explaining how to steal land in the West Bank.

Here images of a "house-jacking": https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5D5-0bKtwuY

just for record, nobody in last few years was able to show 10 examples. or 5. but only few had enough integrity to admit that they can't find any despite it been "well known fact"
If in 30 seconds of google search I can find occurrences of it in the Israeli press, it's likely quite common, yeah.

it doesn't track with "opened your door, changed the lock, then pointed an AR-15 at you and told you to leave".

looks like they were searching for something stolen.

Yes because breaking into someone's house, armed, and taking things that you claim are yours is totally a normal thing in normal countries.

The last link has hard data about violence (250 attacks per month). You can try to pilpul, but those people are clearly doing a human safari, with no law enforcement and consider Palestinians as animals. Defending this tells me all I need to know about your morality: in practice, you defend an ongoing, slow genocide that you well know it's happening. Everything has been documented, it's not just me that watches tik tok videos (I don't).

so you have no 10 examples of " "opened your door, changed the lock, then pointed an AR-15 at you and told you to leave".", right ?

btw, go look up how many attacks were against israeli in last month. also, UN/etc count anything instigated/initiated by palestinians as violence. it just conveniently forgets to provide context

so, while there is some (widely publicized) cases of violence, in a big picture it's overblow
