It fosters animosity towards Jews in North America who have zero connection to the settlements and most likely is a leading factor to why Jewish institutions are receiving increased threats of violence. Just last week several synagogues in New York were hit with bomb threats.
Here’s how you could phrase it “ A small % of Jews in New York, mostly religious orthodox Jews, are moving into settlement communities”. There are ways you can say things that don’t misrepresent an already an incredibly hated minority group.
