WATCH: Israeli Soldiers Stand By, Escort Settlers As They Attack Palestinian Villages

[Purveyor]

Following the murder of a settler from Yitzhar on Tuesday, dozens of Israeli settlers from the region attacked several Palestinian villages. They threw stones at Palestinians, at cars and buses, smashed windows and burned houses.

These videos, taken by B’Tselem photographers from the villages Asira al-Qibliya and Urif, show how IDF forces allow the riots against the Palestinian farmers to take place. In several cases the soldiers talk to the rioters or try to shove them away. In others, they simply provide escorts for them as they throw stones or storm the villages.

1. Which makes the actions of the settlers de facto supported by the government of Israel

...But that's no surprise, as that government is the one letting them "settle" in someone else's backyard in the first place.

2. Without the uniforms...

it'd be impossible to tell the IDF from the terror mob. I don't understand the mentality of anyone who'd do this kind of thing. Its sick.
