Official PA daily describes Israeli settlers movement as "Shylockian": "To obtain short-term gains, it sanctions [the shedding of] all blood”
“The Israeli leadership, represented by Netanyahu and his allies in the coalition, is a leadership that is not fit to [make] the big decisions about peace; [it is a leadership] that hides completely behind the rioting of the herds of settlers. This [occurs] while it [the leadership] is well aware that the settler movement in Israel has nothing to do with morality or strategic interests - on the contrary, it is a Shylockian movement, quite similar to the character of Shylock, the hero of Shakespeare’s play. To obtain short-term gains, it sanctions [the shedding of] all blood.”
