• The Israeli soldier Shuva'el Ben Natan was killed in southern Lebanon. He was one of the most dangerous and violent settlers in the West Bank settlements.

• There is a famous photo of him being evacuated from the Gush Katif settlement in the Gaza Strip. He is the child in the photo, sitting on his rabbi father's lap (a very extremist settler) who tried to prevent the Israeli army from evacuating his home and the settlement, disrupting the Gaza Strip in 2005.

• On october 30, during the olive harvest seaso, he murdered the 40 y/o Palestinian farmer Bilal Salah in front of his children while picking olives in the village of Al-Sawiya, south of Nablus. He was also involved in setting fire to several Palestinian villages and burning their homes and vehicles in the West Bank. He attacked Palestinian farms and communities to displace their residents.

• He committed horrific massacres in the Gaza Strip during his involvement with the army.

• He was a responsible member and instigator within Ben Gvir's Al-Tilal Youth Group, and I have previously detailed his heinous crimes in a series of tweets.

• Due to his numerous crimes, the Israeli police imprisoned him during two weeks, and the United States was considering imposing economic sanctions on him

• Instead of being jailed, he is recruited to the reserves.

"His intention is to take revenge on Palestinians, any Palestinians. He proceeds to serve in Gaza, unauthorizedly burning houses, murdering Palestinians, including women and children, as many as he was able to. He is then transferred to Lebanon, to continue his killing spree there, and the only thing that stops him, eventually, are the local resistance fighters. Without them, he would've probably just kept on killing indiscriminately.

In his (military) funeral, his friends openly talk about his war crimes, the ones he intended to commit and the ones he committed. After the funeral videos go viral, a few Israelis express outrage, and are now being silenced by other Israelis who claim it is disrespectful to talk that way about a "hero" who "died to defend us".

Meanwhile, while covering the funeral, Israeli mainstream media intentionally omitted the "controversial" parts of the eulogies."

Impunity and genocidal denialism

In this article from the Israeli media outlet http://Inn.co, it is reported that during the funeral of Shuvael Ben Natan yesterday, Yossi Dagan, a politician (head of the Samaria Regional Council) from Netanyahu’s Likud party, stated about Shuval: "You were slandered with terrible injustice, particularly by the IDF spokesperson, based on a false report. You spent two weeks in detention for nothing."
