Does “settlers” mean terrorists in Israel? >

Settlers means hard-core zionists that have moved into historically Palestinian lands, and live in small, heavily, guarded enclaves with the full backing of the Israeli government, and Israeli military. They believe that God gave them that land, and so they are displacing generations of Palestinians, who have lived on and worked the land. This is my limited understanding of it, and it is stated without passion or malice. >

I think that’s generally the definition of “settler” in most English language media, but in this particular article I think they might be using settler to mean any Israeli. I don’t see any indication that the attackers have any connection to an Israeli settlement in the West Bank. I think this publication might consider all Jews in Israel to be “settlers”. >

Middle East Monitor is a Qatari owned newspaper so they probably would call all Jews in Israel "settlers."
