I am staunchly pro Israel for a number of reasons, but I am a human being also. In America, we have a law called trespassing. It is a criminal offense, punishable in varying degrees of severity depending on the number of violations. In America, we have very serious penalties for the injuring or interference with a policeman or soldier in his line of duty. In a civilized nation, these laws are necessary in order to maintain peace within our communities. Israel is supposedly a civilized country also, and therein lies the question: Are Israeli settlers above the law? Do they actually have the right to injure they`re own police and soldiers? Do you people see how that plays into your enemies hands? If you show no respect for your own institutions, How the hell is the rest of the world supposed to view you? You have laws from the Torah on down to civil law, yet you embarrass yourselves and your allies with your inability to follow or enforce them. Deal with your criminals! Shalom
