For settlers to Jog, Israeli Army Shuts Down Palestinian Highway Traffic
Israeli Settlers Shut Down Traffic for Jog:
“Settlers from the illegal Israeli settlement of Karmei Tsur blocked Route 60, the main highway between Jerusalem and Hebron which is used by Palestinians as well as settlers. They began attacking Palestinian cars in the road, jumping in front of them and trying to force them to stop, damaging cars and beating the Palestinians inside. One group of settlers marched down the street carrying an Israeli flag, followed by a truck with a sound system blasting music interspersed with insults against arabs. After the truck, another group of more than 50 individuals between the ages of 15-50, many in sports shorts, were jogging down the street as the Israeli military and police cheered them on (while ignoring complaints against the settlers for attacking the Palestinian civilians earlier). In reportedly the most bizarre site, several settlers were seen jogging with running shorts and their M-16 rifles slung across their backs. This was clearly an overt assertion both of the settlers claim to remain in the West Bank (Karmei Tsur is a settlement that most believe would have to be dismantled in any two-state solution), as well as the Israeli militarys complete support for their unlawful behavior and presence.”
