And has nothing to do with IDF or the Israeli government.
Oh, but it does. Here's how it goes down:

1. Israeli settlers show up on land owned by Palestinians, informing them of their intent to take the land and will the Palestinians please leave. Well, not the settlers themselves -- their representatives.

2. When the Palestinians predictably refuse, the settlers go to the Israeli government to get what amounts to official permission to take the land. Keep in mind that this is unlawful, as the land is owned by Palestinians and is not under the proper jurisdiction of the Israeli government.

3. They show up with the illegal transfer documents, along with the IDF or other Israeli government security forces.

4. If the owners of the land refuse to leave, they are roughed up by some combination of the settlers and the military. If the Palestinians try to defend themselves, the security forces open fire. Often, it's not the landowners who get killed but crowds who jeer the illegal actions. Lots of shootings into angry but peaceful crowds.

5. In most of these cases, the Palestinians are completely unarmed, or the IDF has disarmed them (the landowners primarily). The deaths are of people who pose no threat to anyone there. They do, however, insult the Israelis and that, apparently, is enough to warrant a death sentence as their land gets stolen.

6. In other cases, the military doesn't get involved because the government won't grant the permission. I don't know why not; I think it's usually some diplomatic pressure but I don't really know. In any event, the settlers then take matters into their own hands and raid the residences on the land heavily armed. The result is the same: dead Palestinians. Israel then refuses to prosecute the settlers or even make them pay a fine or even prevent them from taking the land whose inhabitants they murdered.

If you don't think the Israeli government is implicated here -- I mean, whatever dude. There's a reason why virtually the whole world condemns these illegal takings and killings on the West Bank, and it's not fucking anti-semitism. Anti-muslim sentiment is far stronger in Europe than anti-Jewish sentiment and yet.
 
is that just a feeling you have or is there some data to back that up?
Data. I read about this a while back, but it's also quite evident. The successful nationalist parties are often expressly anti-Muslim and they do well for that reason. Meloni didn't get elected because she went after Jews. She got elected because she went after immigrants, especially Muslims from their south.
