"Armed settlers and segregation: Inside the West Bank" [View all]

This is the title to a video from 3 days ago from Sky News. It is quite surprising that they were allowed to get out of the West Bank with the footage. You can only imagine what happens when there are no cameras. My complaint still stands about the media using the term "settlers". That is not the case just like it wasn't in the US etc. They are armed squatters using violence to drive out existing residents. Notice the guy from Chicago claiming Palestine never existed and that we are all just believing lies. It fits in with the moves to erase all legal traces to the land and to erase any claims for compensation or right of return from even the time of Partition.

If the Palestinian farmer who had been chased off his land had not had the news crew with him when the 2 squatters arrived with their guns it is a real possibility he would have been killed. But this is the kind of thing that American groups giving financial donations to the squatters are supporting along with US tax dollars.
