"Services have been cut off to some Jewish West Bank residents for not behaving themselves. Surely you would want us to treat our Arab cousins as equals and do the same thing"
If you say that, then I believe you. But we both know all too well that the Palestinian people suffer far more than any Israeli settler.Gaza is under seige with all that such a situation involves in the way of genuine hardship.The West Bank has violent settlers and a military occupation.The seige, the occupation and the settlements have been declared illegal long ago but we won`t concern ourselves with that as Israel does not.
I do become very angry and distressed to see the many videos of Israeli B`Tselem which show the brutality-there is no other word-of IDF occupation in the West Bank.The Israeli CheckpointWatch women have produced videos showing the same awful actions by settlers and IDF.These women are cursed at by soldiers and attacked by settlers, neither of whom want what they are doing to be known. |
