| Jewish terrorist attacking an NBC reporter and crew (Jerusalem Post) |
And once again, they are called “settlers” by the mainstream
media. What a disservice that is to the over half million residents that have
‘settled’ there since 1967 – living there in peace with their Palestinian
neighbors.
In some ways, I can’t really blame the media for calling
them that, though. That is, after all, their stated purpose. They want to
settle all of the Land of Israel, and they are prepared to do it by any means
necessary. Including deadly violence!
Here is what happened yesterday - ON SHABBOS! - as reported
by Israel
Hayom:
Masked Israeli settlers attacked a Palestinian woman and an
NBC News crew on Saturday in the village of Jalud, near Nablus, the network
reported. The Palestinian woman and three crew members were injured, and camera
equipment and one of their vehicles were damaged.
The attack occurred after the crew interviewed Aida Ahmed
Abdullah, 51, who claimed settlers had driven her family from their home.
According to NBC, as the interviewee and crew members walked down a hill toward
the house, a gray car with Israeli license plates drove toward them.
Footage from the incident shows at least four masked men
getting out of the car, one of them holding a stick. According to the report,
they beat Abdullah and the crew members with sticks and threw stones at them.
“They jumped out, beat us, then jumped back in the car,” NBC
News international correspondent Matt Bradley, who was struck twice on the hand
and received treatment at a nearby clinic, said.
It is bad enough that they set up makeshift “settlements”
near Palestinian villages. Now they are violently attacking Palestinians for no
other reason than evicting them from their homes and taking up residence in
them.
That seems to be what happened yesterday, when a group of
masked Israelis attacked a Palestinian family in the middle of an interview
with an NBC reporter. They attacked the reporter, his crew, and their vehicle,
injuring all of them. Most disturbingly, they beat a Palestinian woman so
severely that she was rendered unconscious.
There is no “other side” to this story. This is the way it
happened.
Israel Hayom is not some sort of radical
left-wing newspaper. It is about as right-wing as it gets. And some of the
attack was captured on video. Those images do not lie.
Even if this was retaliation for an attack against Israelis
(which by itself is grossly immoral) , it is highly unlikely that this
Palestinian family had anything to do with it. Nor has any recent Palestinian
violence been reported that might have motivated such a revenge attack.
This attack went beyond revenge. It was evil in the extreme.
First, it is immoral and an affront to God to inflict such
physical pain and mental anguish on innocent human beings. Second, it damages
the very people whom these extremists claim to represent: law-abiding Israelis
who have been living in the West Bank peacefully for decades.
And it does untold damage to the Jewish state. When someone
like Ambassador Mike Huckabee, who supports Israel to the extent that he has
asserted Israel’s right to settle the West Bank, starts criticizing these
extremists and calls them terrorists, that is something Israel can ill afford
to tolerate. Israel is already facing a climate of international condemnation,
and the actions of these people only make matters worse.
Let me reiterate and make this absolutely clear:
THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT “SETTLERS.”
They may think they are. They may believe they are doing the
will of God. But they are not. They are doing the will of the devil…
