More on the death throes of Greater Israel. From Haaretz:
Dozens of Jewish settlers surrounded an IDF patrol vehicle on Wednesday evening near the Shilo settlement, setting up roadblocks and physically assaulting IDF soldiers.
The incident began after rumors circulated that the Gal Yosef illegal outpost is about to be evacuated. At approximately 9 P.M. the settlers erected roadblocks and blocked the entrance to the outpost with their cars.
An IDF patrol vehicle that arrived on the scene was blocked by settlers. The soldiers tried to turn back, but were stopped by more roadblocks.
The vehicle was then surrounded by a few dozen youth from nearby settlements. When the soldiers asked them to let the vehicle pass, one of the soldiers was punched in the face, prompting a violent clash between the two sides. Soldiers who were called to the scene were able to detain one of the attackers, but he managed to escape.
A senior IDF commander said that “the army sees this incident as crossing a red line, and the settlers who were involved in violence against the soldiers will be arrested soon by the police.”
Officers serving in the West Bank have reported recently that tensions between security forces and settlers are on the rise. According to one senior office, “the security forces spend more time dealing with incidents involving Israeli citizens than confronting Palestinian terrorism.”
one can quickly imagine if this same event happened with palestinians, as opposed to settlers… 2 tiered system at work……………
That’s right, where was the tear gas? Where was the skunk water?
Well, when you fill peoples heads up with nonsense for decades – this sort of thing can and will happen. These people think that the land between the river and the sea ( and much more) was “given” to them by the man in the sky – and this idea has been reinforced for generations. And the current government is on the side of these people.
So, its the government, settlers and parts of the IDF leadership against alot of Jewish Israeli society, other parts of the IDF and all the Palestinians.
It will be interesting to see where this leads….
So attacking the Israeli army is ‘crossing a red line’, but attacking Palestinian civilians is perfectly fine?
The IDF has racist weapons, they can only fire at Palestinians but never at Jews.
