Israeli settlers.... of palestinian and islamic alignment and origin?No, even according to the
Jerusalem Post, these acts are being committed by
Jewish “settlers”.
I think I’m probably as shocked as you are, but I guess every movement / demographic has its extremists. Hopefully they will stopped by Israeli authorities. This is a major black eye for the image of the state of Israel and Israeli jews.

Not quite;
"citing a statement released by the priests of the community.
In their statement, the priests of the churches of the last Christian town in the West Bank, Father Dawood Khoury, Father Jacques-Noble Abed, and Father Bishara Fawaz,
Calling the town Christian is problematic in that the Moslem families in the town are growing faster than the Christian families. There was a problem with the neighboring Moslem town and the Christians seem to be so cowed they pledge they and the Moslems are one family; hardly makes for a Christian town.
From Wikipedia: After the 1995 accords, 35% of village land was classified as Area B, the remaining 65% as Area C.[42] According to ARIJ, Israel has confiscated 393 dunam of land from Taybeh for the construction of the Israeli settlements of Rimmonim, and 22 dunams for Ofra.[43]
In September 2005, hundreds of Muslim men from Deir Jarir torched homes in Taybeh in response to an affair between a 30-year-old Muslim woman from Deir Jarir said to have been romantically involved with a Christian man from Taybeh.[44]
Taybeh residents called the authorities to intervene, the Israelis arrived first but they watched and did not intervene. Palestinian policemen arriving from Ramallah were held at an Israeli checkpoint for three hours, and were only allowed to pass after constant calls from the U.S. consulate in Jerusalem.[45] Despite the incident, the neighboring towns continue to have healthy relations; residents say "the people of Taybeh and the people of Deir Jarir are one family".[44]
