Palestinian boy, 14, says was attacked by two settlers

...have no respect for their High Court, why should the 'settlers'? Settlers!?! What a strange word for what they do. Oh well, no doubt Fatah will have something to say about this.

I would like, as I once would have, to be able to write this instance off as an over-imaginative mind of a subject teenager. The fact is that there have been so many hundreds of stories about how viciously the 'Settlers' treat Arabs that I simply cannot doubt this story. "The Israel Defense Forces forbade police from conducting nighttime searches." - Haaretz Proof that the IDF was complicit in the crimes committed. Israel needs to preserve it's reputation for legality and decency because it has been under assault by the Israeli extreme right for over 3 decades. That assault has made it very, very hard for any intelligent and decent person to credit accounts originating on the Israeli right and approved of by the government. I cannot imagine that there are no Israelis who wish to be known as a nation which tells the truth.

I'm just wondering what would make an Aussie to come on an Israeli site and non-stop bad mouth Israel and Israeli's. Ignore her, she would have to be a dole bludger who has nothing better to do. I have been to Israel,the people and the country are ACE. Israeli's are very well-coming and gererous. I was actually hoping to live in Israel,and join the IDF but not being Jewish was a big problem.

how can anyone justify doing such a thing? i don't care if you'e palestinian, israeli at the present time or a long time ago. this is just wrong.

They would do what they did in Medina, fill pits with the decapitated bodies of every Jew until none remained, even if only because some Moslem Woman "Shamed Herself" in a market. With Palestinians trying to Murder Jews every day, not a peep, some kid claims he was beaten by settlers and suddenly the pitchforks and torches come out. I'd like to see an unguarded Jew walk through Gaza and come out in one piece.

Everyone knows that the Palestinians can not pronounce their own name.

There will be an investigation. If the Palestinians are telling the truth for once, someone will punished according the law. No one will dance in the street celebrating and waving Jewish body parts that they cut off as trophies, which we all know is how Palestinians generally spend their free time.

How could you compare TWO ARMED SETTLERS attacking an innocent and helpless 14 years old Palestinian boy to to an incident, which I don't approve of happened in the battle field when Israeli occupied forces retook the West bank cities. The victims then were armed Israeli soldiers entered a Palestinian city in time of unbalance war but the victim TODAY in this incident is a helpless 14 years old civilian Palestinian BOY. Reading your posts making me very sick and losing hope for peace. Peace, Justice, and security have to be wanted by both Palestinians and Israelis. including it's settlers, NOT ONLY by Palestinians.

And this boy has at most a scratch or two otherwise Haaretz would have made a much bigger deal out of it saying something like "being in critical condition"

Of course they say Falastin when speaking Arabic. When they say Palestine or Palestinian in ENGLISH, the P comes out sounding as B. I was having some fun with Boycott. I like using humor with racists. Whatever else I am I am no fool and I sent you a complimentary and respectful post last night which you still have not answered. So congratulations. You turn out to be one more noisemaker who resorts to name-calling. What a shame. I had rather thought you had some quite intelligent things to say.

Spare the rod and spoil the child

I thought you said you've been to the Galilee? Palestinians don't use "B", fool... The arabic pronounciation would be Falasteen. It's not that complicated.

Thank God for the settlers ... Jews belong in a Jewish land rather then the usurpers who invaded and have been squatting for centuries. They need to go back where they came from - Arabia

A person IS capable of being a moron and a knowitall at the same time!!!

"So my prediction is that the Jewish terrorists will be let off without any punishment and the Palestinian victims will be jailed without charges for years for daring to question a Jew." Better then being thrown off a roof and have a bullet put in your head or being dragged from a hospital bed to the street and shot like a dog ... isn't that the behavior your champion Know It All ? Why are you even on a Jewish web site? To make a fool out of yourself? No one really cares what nonsense you feel like peddling or hasn't your brain processed that yet?

I am quite sure that Mr. O'Leary knows EXACTLY what "Naqba" means and was having some deliberate fun with jojo. Is there any truth, Boycott, to the rumour that Burka is actually the way Arabs pronounce Parka, you know, like the way they say Balestinian as there's no P sound in their language? Anyway, I'm sure you have many zionists and Jews to boycott so I'll leave you to your holy work.

And I suppose you know Ahmed? Why not use a real name instead of your ridiculous BOYCOT ... Talk about pathetic

Control yourself you bigot...and wait until we know all of the facts. Believe me if these men attacked this kid they will pay dearly for it..not so if it was the other way around.

You're mistaken: we dance the naqba, not wear it.

I suggest you do your homework, Genuine Tosefta. Ever heard of the "Keystone cops?"

Good post, I agree with you. I am disgusted, but, unfortunately, not a bit surprised, at the criminal actions of the settlers. Regards

Reading the ridiculous Lakshmi and Hannah you'd think that 723 Palestinians were killed by 42 million Jew cluster bombs! Get a life! A couple of disgusting men beat a kid. They shouldn't have. They will be punished. Lord, what is the matter with you loons??

This disgusting crime is just another plain example wherein the settler Mob shows it true face. Threathening a child with a gun and thereafter to beat him up? I will state it once more: ship the settlers back to their countries of origin. Enough is enough!

What choice do they have, after all you have their land;

Israel should prove that it is not a racist or Apartheid state by punishing the settlers by arresting them and destroying their homes like has been done to so many Palestinian families. But they are Jewish and this is Israel, so instead of equal justice, the IDF acually prevented the police from searching for the suspects rather than drving a bulldozer through the settlement in the middle of the night as Israel has done to thousands of Palestinian homes. So my prediction is that the Jewish terrorists will be let off without any punishment and the Palestinian victims will be jailed without charges for years for daring to question a Jew.

As I from time to time have had reason to comment: Zionists must feel so proud that stout New Jersey middle-aged zionists feel called upon by their false god to beat up on Palestinian children. As many of you know, I often refer to zionists as followers of Satan. This is yet another example of why I do so. Regards to all of you who stand on the side of right against wrong; good against evil.

You don't even know what the word 'naqba' means. Pathetic.

Lakshmi insults, infuriates, offends and disrespects Jewish settlers all the time. In return to avenge their honor, they take on Lakshmi's coreligionists in the land of Israel from the sea to to Mesopotamia and from the Hijaz to the Taurus Mountains.

ofcourse, if true is what we call a kidnapping and physical assault of a minor. I recommend Israel put together an Israeli version of America's Most Wanted and post these goon's faces on it. Ofcourse... if this is true? If only.

Pursuing them in your country will be a more productive use of you time and venom.

Jojo did you write that inside the Naqba or did you first take it off ? I hear everyone in Holland is now wearing the Naqba . . . is that true?

"End the occupation, now!" Yes Maureen dear, end the Arab occupation of Jewish land.

case the Occupation ends sooner than the settlers expected ! All under the watchful eye of the IDF,since some reports sugget their presence in the vicinity.

that the two Palestinian boys were re claiming parts of their broken home that had been previously destroyed by Israeli bulldozers/IDF Palestinian home demolition squad? End the occupation, now!

"Haaretz" hasn't explained as yet what had happened to a pal donkey "masked settlers kidnapped" some 2 years ago according to the paper. Now the donley has probably learned some Hebrew and writes for the very same "Haaretz" out of gratitude of being saved from the fate worse than death in the hands of those bestial settlers. Perhaps even writes articles for Danny Rubinstein and Akiva Eldar.

Well documented. Go to YouTube and search Tel Rumeida or Google "Tel Rumeida Project"

trying to steal a window, or a door, or some type of scrapmetal.

"A 14-year-old Palestinian youth said he was attacked by two armed settlers on Tuesday near the village Kafr Kusra, south of Nablus." A later report suggests those two armed settlers waited until an IDF tank was nearby before they attacked the boy. Just in case he fought back.

To cover on his shame of being beaten up by his 12 year old sister this monster invented the settlers story. These are Arabs for you!

A democratic state should maintains law and order at the same way for its citizens. A country like Israel thinks that ot is democratic should excute these terroists and domolish there houses like it do to Palestinians. Do you as a reader think that Israel will do this?? Hmmmm Now we can see the apartheid regim they call isael, those setllers should be punished by the same way isael is doung to Palestinian "terrorists". Do you agree?

Anyone anywhere beating a 14 year old should be severely punished. Let's hope these guys get a little more than those Palestinians a few years ago who actually tore that Jew's heart out of his chest and then waved his bloodstained hands out the window and threw the Jew's body to the street.
