West Bank: Settlers attack film crew
seriously now... get rid of the settlers. it would make things so much easier for everyone.

the IDF will do nothing about things like this... because settlers committing terrorist acts against the palestinians is OK... theres no 10x response expected here.

Members of the left-wing group Ta’ayush – Arab Jewish Partnership and two film directors who accompanied them were attacked by settlers as they were touring the south Mount Hebron region last Saturday.

<snip>

Alexanderovitch was struck in the head with a rifle by a hooded settler, who also attempted to grab the director’s camera. Mousak documented the incident with his video camera; the settlers soon spotted him, but he was able to escape and salvage the video tape before his camera was snatched.

The next Natan Zada?

“We stopped to film a group of young settlers who had opened the water well of a Palestinian with the intent of sucking it dry. They ran towards us. I saw a masked settler armed with an M-16 rifle lunge at Alexanderovitch. I did not stop filming, and when another armed settler spotted me, he and five of his friends attacked me as well. I managed to take the tape out of the camera just before they stole it and ran with it to the settlement.”

Mousak continued: They punctured our car’s tires and ran away only when IDF troops approached.

3. Settler Gone Wild:
Settler who killed Palestinian escapes

http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3148850,00.html

<snip>

"Yehoshua Elitzur, 34, from the West Bank settlement of Itamar, who was convicted of shooting and killing Sael Jabara al-Shatiya from the village of Salem about a year ago, has been pronounced a fugitive, Ynet learned Wednesday evening.

Elitzur was at first accused of murder, but was convicted of manslaughter after prosecutors could not prove that he intended to kill.

Elitzur, who was sent to house arrest, did not arrive at the plea stage of his trial in order to determine the verdict, and has been missing since then.


The Judea and Samaria District Police said that "Elitzur has been pronounced a fugitive since last Wednesday. We are searching for him and have distributed his picture to all police stations."
