This is still happening! In Israel nationalist extremists occupied West Bank. Indigenous Palestinians threatened, bullied, caged, controlled, injured, killed by illegal settlers. It has been 20 years since the Goldstein Massacre, and settler violence in Hebron has not stopped. We had the feeling that we were protecting the Arabs from the Jews. The Goldstein Massacre in the Tomb of the Patriarchs serves as the climax of a long history of settler violence. Jewish terrorism is hardly a marginal phenomenon when one looks at its impact: graffiti, physical violence, harassment and abuse, destruction of property, violent takeover of land. In all these cases, soldiers are witnesses - including us and countless like us - but have their hands tied. The legal system in the Occupied Territories operates differently than in Israel proper. It enables settlers to act with the knowledge that they can, to quote a soldiers testimony, stretch the law, the law will bend according to what we do.(read the full testimony here: breakingthesilence.org.il/testimonies/database/49598)
