This is Palestine. It is hard to watch. Notice the IDF as they passively stand by and let the settlers run wild. At the end they come to the aid of the landowner after he has been attacked but during the abuse they do nothing. What kind of arrangement is this?
Poster Avi has translated the Hebrew text that accompanies the youtube link.
The Moor family has a large agricultural plot East of the Sussyia settlement.
………
About a decade ago, the [Moor] family was attacked after the murder of Ya’ir Haar Sinai. The family fled its land fearing attacks by settlers and relocated to live in the village of Manzal, not far from their own land.
………
From that point onward, Moors’ land and their water wells supposedly became, ipso facto, the property of the widow Daliya Haar Sinai.
……….
With the encouragement of Ta’ayush activists and with the legal assistance of rabbis for human rights, members of the Moor family returned to graze their sheep on their own land.
………
In the last year, friction grew between the activists and settler groups from the vicinity who came to interfere and create provocations with the aim of forcing the military to close the area for everyone, in addition to the expulsion/eviction of the Palestinian land owners.
……..
Usually, the Israeli army stood by and was party to that dirty trick. A legal appeal forced the army to abide by the law. At the start of the month, a major general’s order was issued, allowing members of the Moor family to return and use their own land.
……….
The order forbids Israelis in general from entering the area, settlers and activists alike. But, as usual, the masters of the earth don’t give a hoot about the regional commander’s order. In front of them stands the moral and heroic, the terrorizing army, trigger-happy when it comes to the Palestinians; it bends and is easily trampled over by the settlers. Without lifting a finger, the army gazes with apathy at the settlers who assault and injure the land owner.

Who is the settler Avidan Offir and why is he not arrested? And this “Mega Settler Moshe Deutsch”?
What is the effect of a military order if the IDF does not enforce it? Do the settlers rule the IDF in the territories?
Any improvement on google’s translation would be appreciated.
