But a radical movement, radical... movement of young israeli women is leaving civilian life and education behind to live in rudimentary hilltop tents across the occupied west bank dubbed the hilltop girls this group champions a strategy of soft settlement replacing weapons and military patrols with seemingly mundane daily activities by portraying their presence as a natural family-oriented social project the aim to legitimize the gradual seizure of private palestinian land and the establishment of new outposts so who are these young women Well, the women are in many ways an extension of the Hilltop Youth, a radical religious Zionist group that emerged in 1998 when then-Israeli Foreign Minister Ariel Sharon urged settler youths to seize West Bank hilltops to preempt final status negotiations.

Sound familiar? So while the broader movement is infamous for orchestrating deadly pogroms and seizing territory by force, I mean, the hilltop youth were like actively violent and pretty documented to be so.

The female offshoot embraces an ideology geared towards establishing a greater Israel that extends beyond historic Palestine to include Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and the Arabian Peninsula.

Um, so, uh, which this is, this is that map, right? Remember that, that green line, yellow line, all that stuff, right? If you look in orange, right? This is like Palestinian population centers in orange and red are these settlement outposts, right? And like, you see what they're trying to do.

You know what I mean? Like this, like, and this is in the West bank.

So, we've been saying like this, they're already pushing just about everyone out of here.

You know? Like...

So here is the next stage, right? And then Jordan and everything past that.

But to normalize their presence, the Hilltop Girls heavily rely on social media.

Outpost accounts publish promotional videos aiming to move away from the more violent images associated with marauding Israeli settlers who are often backed and shielded by the country's security forces.

Cabra, I have the footage.

I have it, if it'll pop up.

So, and

like...

This is again...

I have no idea what they're saying, and it's not necessarily important.

It's mainly the imagery, right, of like, oh, look, we're simple farmers trying to live a... simple life away from these violent savages and you know we're just good little wives and we take care of all our babies we're having so that we have more bodies to like then settle more land right like oh look we have pretty horses and trucks and we build things and like this is the nonsense right this is like um what are those called um homesteading stuff too right like that's part of this

it's basically well it's basically the israeli version of gentrification

oh

yeah that's what this is

yeah for sure With, like, a particular, like, flavor of, you know, like, domestic servitude, you know? But, yeah, I mean, this has kind of been a thing that, like, they're not getting this from nowhere.

They're, like, seeing this elsewhere.

Here in America, they do this kind of, like, content as well, right? And so they're like, oh, we can do this.

right and like that's what they're doing so but i digress um the female settlers claim they do not kill palestinians or assault landowners but merely cook and hang laundry like any other group of women but their end goals are similar to establish the so-called promised land including through the extensions of israel to the occupied west bank Their presence in the West Bank is no less illegal than that of violent extremists, and they too are transforming Palestinian pastoral land into fully fledged settlements in violation of international law.

So the MOAS Ester and Oahavu Outposts, located northeast of Ramallah, serve as prime examples of this systematic expansion.
