(Just a few recent instances) According to a report published by the United Nation’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, during the olive harvest some 50 attacks against Palestinians were reported.
It was 17 years ago on Purim day that a crazed settler from the area known as Kiryat Arba stalked his way into the nearby city of Hebron murdering 29 Muslims at prayer and wounding another 125. Remember this as you read the following….
The seven day mourning period for the victims of the Itamar attack ends today, but a situation exists where no Palestinian is safe. Hatred towards them by the settlers existed long before the attack. Without even knowing who the culprit is, or what he was, Palestinians have been targeted by those illegally living on lands stolen from them, with the willing help of the Israeli army.
The mentality of the settlers can be seen in the following video, followed by a report of how Israel is dealing with the situation. Instead of placing the settlements under siege, Palestine has once again been locked in. In reality, it is the settlers themselves that are the threat, not only to Palestinians, but to secular Israelis as well. They are the ones that must be isolated until the time when their illegal quarters are dismantled and the properties given back to their rightful owners.
I have posted this video numerous times. I cannot put enough stress on how important it is for you to see who the settlers actually are, and the threat they pose not only to Palestinians but to humanity as a whole….

As Israel Celebrate Purim, Palestine Placed Under Siege
The Israeli army enforced a full closure on the occupied territories as Israel and its West Bank settlers celebrate the Purim holiday.
Effective Thursday midnight until midnight Monday, the occupied territories will be under full closure and siege.
The decision was made by Israeli Defense Minister, Ehud Barak, and was handed down to the security and military devices.
The Palestinians who have permits to enter Israel will not be allowed to do so until the closure is lifted. All Gaza terminals were also shut down.
