Israeli Settler Violence Against Palestinians is Routine, and Unreported

Link

June 22, 2009

Joseph Dana reports:

Just got an update from Amiel, a Ta’ayush member, who was in Safa this morning. He told me that settlers uprooted around 150 olive and grape leaf trees in Safa as a protest of our action last Saturday. Some of the grape leaf trees in the video were uprooted this morning.

The only news source covering this right now is the Palestinian Ma’an News Agency. It is telling that they are the only ones covering this blatant act of settler violence. Yesterday, in the village of Susya next to the Jewish settlement of the same name, settlers set fire to one of the main tents with people inside at four in the morning. Another act of violence only covered in the Palestinian news sources.

How can we talk about the problem of settler violence if no one reports it?
