Ynet, a wire service for Israel news, is covering four statements about atrocities against Palestinians by former Israeli soldiers who are now working with the dissident group Breaking the Silence. The Independent in England is also giving a lot of space to the same statements.
The most important thing about these accounts is that they offer No Context. There is no effort to couch these horrors (lootings, beatings, abuse, multilation) as being somehow justified by Israel's security needs.
The world is waking up, soon this stuff will be showing up in the American press... And in its train, the Nakba!
I am not at all confident that any of this
will be reported by the MSM. How often
in the past has the press covered stories
that reflect badly on Israeli policies or
on less than admirable elements of American
Jewry?

From the Independent article:
'Many of the testimonies, including Mr Arbel's, describe how the settlers educate children as young as four to throw stones at Palestinians, attack their homes and even steal their possessions. To Mr Arbel, the Hebron settlers are "pure evil" and the only solution is "to remove the settlers".'
No comment necessary.
It's cold out. Your feather won't help. Here you go, have an infected blanket.
