Settlers assault farmers in Beit Ummar

http://www.maannews.net/eng/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=675693

HEBRON (Ma'an) -- Israeli settlers on Saturday attacked a farmer and his sons in the southern West Bank near Beit Ummar, a popular committee spokesman said.

Muhammad Ayad Awad, spokesman for the Popular Committee Against the Wall and Settlements in Beit Ummar, said that around 15 Israeli settlers attacked Muhammad Abd al-Hamid Jaber al-Salibi and his sons in the Wad Abu Rish area near the Israeli settlement of Bat Ayin while they were working on their land.

The settlers hurled rocks, but no were casualties reported, Awad said.

He added that Israeli forces came to the scene and forced the farmer and his sons to leave the area at gunpoint.



Palestinians throw rocks and get shot and killed. Illegal settlers throw rocks and the IDF looks the other way then harasses the Palestinians.

If you are an American DUer that pays taxes then you are partially responsible how American lets Israel get away with this.
Don't believe that you're not.
