Israeli "settlers" attack Palestinian child.

"Settlers" stoning child in Hebron   Why should we have any sympathy or express any support for Israeli "settlers" who occupy Palestinian land and attack Palestinian children? The Israeli armed forces killed 2140 of which 513 were children, during operation "Protective Edge" in Gaza last July, adding to the thousands of children killed in Palestine during "Cast Lead" and other Israeli aggressions over recent years. It seems that the Israeli "settlers"  in Hebron, are following the example set by the IDF. 

The "Holocaust". A justification for aggression.

12-year-old boys killed following explosion near West Bank village of Sier

haaretz.com/news/ There are two "comments" at the bottom of this Haaretz article. I assume that "Daniel" and "Micheal" are Israeli or if not then certainly Jewish. Both show the extent of the arrogance shown towards people living in the occupied territories and the way in which Palestinians are expected to accept the presence of an occupying force in their lands. Both comments are indicative of an evil and vindictive attitude which is unfortunately, all too common in the Israeli/Jewish mind set. The whole point of the story, concerning the death of two 12 year old boys, is lost in the sea of hostility and hatred towards Palestinians generally.
