▶ Another Brutal attack of Ta'ayush activists by Mitspe Yaia's settlers - YouTube
"The Palestinians complained that the settlers kept bothering them
with their farming and wouldn’t let them get to their grazing areas with
their sheep. The left-wingers came to support the Palestinians and went
with them to the grazing areas, while the Jews called the army to get
the Palestinians away from there, because they were getting too close to
the settlement (...) the more serious ones involved a patrol moving the
Palestinians from a certain area, and once or twice we arrested left-wing activists because they were in a closed military zone, which is forbidden."
As soldiers we also found ourselves compelled to stand idly by as
settlers attacked Palestinian residents and peace activists. This is
what happens when your job description is to defend
settlers/perpetrators.
