Basically - Apartheid environment, but the settlers feel like now is the opportunity to push, so there is a rush to see who can take/claim/push out Palestinian land, homes, belongings.
Apartheid doesn’t mean every one of the ruling class is evil, but that the bullies (they exist in any population) now have a target that can’t fight back, and if they do happen to fight back, the police/military takes the bullies side. Is there someone high up in the military sending out civilian death squads to tiny villages? No. But there is an environment where self appointed death squads can exist and the military will defend them if they meet resistance - That is what Apartheid does. Systematically removes the ability of a people to seek justice, have fairness, or even feel safe.
