Just want to go on record and say that the settlers really should not be considered non-combatants.

If you say that, then the settlements aren’t a war crime.

Occupation is legal under international law. Israeli settlements in Palestine are illegal because it’s a war crime to move a civilian population into a militarily occupied area.

I don’t mean to say that they should be given a legal fig leaf. I mean that they are participating in violent suppression simply by being settlers on land that the IDF scrapes Palestinians out of.
