HEBRON (Ma'an) -- A group of Jewish settlers physically assaulted a Palestinian woman and her young children in the Old City of Hebron in the southern West Bank late Saturday, a local human rights group said.

A spokesman for the Hebron-based group Human Rights Defenders, Badee Dweik, said that the assault took place during an attack by settlers on Palestinian homes in the Old City's Tel Rumeida neighborhood.

Dweik said that Mirvat Abu Tuama was walking home with her children Hazim, 10, Rahaf, 8, Lujayn, 5, and Liyan, 4, when they were chased and attacked by the settlers.

1. Terror. n/t

2. State sanctioned terror since if these Israelis happened to be Palestinans

they probably would have been shot and labeled terrorists.

4. You can't call it blanket "state-sanctioned".

Just the other day an Israeli was arrested for murdering Palestinians in revenge for that kidnapping that kicked off the latest Gaza-bombing.

We should differentiate between the oppressive policies of the israeli state and the violent actions of israeli extremists.

5. Sure I can. There have been so many documentrd incidents

where Israelis hace attacked Palestinians...on film...while tge IDF stands by, but in comparison when Palestinians are the attackers there always seems to be somebody wuth a gun: ready to shoot them.

Israel today reminds me of the good ole Southern Segregationist USA where bubbah and his KKK buddies could burn crosses and kill, but if the local African American community stood up for themselves then they would get a bigger beating.

3. I can't decide. Are they nationalists, racists or religious extremists?
