Israeli settlers went on a violent rampage last month, inciting and co-ordinating attacks on WhatsApp.

What followed was a wave of shooting and arson attacks across 11 Palestinian villages in which a dozen homes and more than 100 cars were torched, thousands of animals were slaughtered, four people were shot dead and scores of others were seriously wounded.

    Is this really such an obscure term in English? I definitely remember hearing it in school here in Austria, perhaps in the context of the November pogroms of 1938, but may have been from other contexts too; I don’t remember the details.

      I don’t really know. It shouldn’t be, but I have not seen any newspaper report “West Bank pogroms continue to increase post Oct. 7, despite international complaints.”
