Settlers Shoot Palestinian, Attack Mosque Imam

Posted on 28 May 2012 by Emperor

More anti-Palestinian violence from fanatical settlers who believe the land has been deeded to them by God, and therefore they have right to intimidate Palestinians into leaving:

Israeli settler shoots Palestinian in West Bank

NABLUS (Ma’an) — An Israeli settler shot and wounded a Palestinian man on Saturday in a clash that began when a group of settlers set fire to fields belonging to a Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank, officials said.

Najeh al-Safadi, 22, was handcuffed by a guard from the illegal settlement of Yitzhar who threw him to the ground and shot him while other settlers kicked him, a relative said.

Muntaser al-Safadi said people from his village, Orif, which is near Nablus in the northern West Bank, arrived and rescued the young man. He was transferred to Rafidia hospital with severe injuries.

Residents said about 25 settlers, some of them carrying guns, set fire to wheat fields and an olive grove near the Orif school. Settlers fired at people who were trying to put out the fire, they said.

Villagers came out to extinguish the fire and ended up clashing with the settlers, said Nablus official Ghassan Daghlas. Eight people were injured and four of them were hospitalized, he told Ma’an.

An Israeli military spokesman confirmed that a settler shot and wounded one Palestinian, adding that security forces were sent to the scene to break up the violence.

“The Israel Defense Forces regards this incident as severe and will thoroughly investigate it,” the spokesman said.

The military is investigating a similar incident from last week in which a video distributed by an anti-settlement group appeared to show a settler shooting and wounding a Palestinian during a confrontation with rock-throwing Palestinians, as soldiers stood by.

Daghlas said Saturday’s attack was a direct assault on civilians, and part of a pattern of incidents sparked by gun-toting settlers.

The official expressed surprise at the “international silence” toward Israeli violations, particularly the silence of the United Nations.

It is also being reported that Settlers attacked an Imam in the Ain Silwan region:

Settlers attack mosque Imam, IOF arrest a boy

AL-KHALIL– A number of Jewish settlers attacked on Saturday the imam of Ain Silwan mosque in Silwan town in Jerusalem after storming the neighboring area.

Jerusalemite sources stated that the settlers attacked the seventy-year-old imam of Ain Silwan mosque, Adam Samreen, under the pretext of enabling tourists to enter the place. Meanwhile, the Zionist settlers raided the neighboring area, and attacked the guard causing him injuries.

It is noted that the ongoing Zionist attacks against Jerusalemites aim at forcing them to leave their lands and properties.

    @Skeptic

    Yeah, the thing is, your first statement would be pretty powerful if it was actually correct.

    Oh really, you call such a powerful movement, recognition by over 100 nations, and increasing international sympathy with increasing condemnation an exercise in futility. Take the example of South Africa, my friend, and see for yourself how these movements grow.

    What the f**k are you talking about? No one is talking about bringing down Israel. That is certainly not my position.

    Um, maybe they f***ing could build themselves back up if they weren’t being colonized, kept In horrible conditions, and held by other oppressive means by Israel!

    The reason why they experience poverty is because of Israeli policies to begin with. I wish you could see this, but you keep insisting illogical and bizarre shit like how those who advocate for human rights and who are anti-apartheid are trying to destroy Israel, etc.

    Those who are against Israeli policies actually largely do not intend to destroy or bring Israel to it’s knees. Many, such as myself, would like to see the situation rectified by seeing tat Israel discriminatory and apartheid policies are put to an end, and for a one state solution to manifest.

    You talk of Palestinians in very condescending and dehumanizing terms. Such rhetoric is typical of people like you.

    @Al-razi,

    oh yeah, good luck getting those same nations to totally boycott Israeli products too!

    I’m sure those useless Computer IT and modern technology stuff (like Intel) are totally worthless too!

  • Skeptic

    @Al-razi,

    I am not a zionist or I have special relations but I call it like I see it.

    It is nothing but an exercise in futility really.

    Well, they can continue on with their current mindset in hopes of bringing down Israel or they can start focusing building themselves up like the defeated WWII countries and Vietnam.

    Israel will probably be around for next few hundred years and the Palestinians will continue celebrate nakba after nakba while living in abject poverty and voting crappy leaders who brainwash them all the time.

    Even if Israel disappears, all these won’t change. Even after every UN resolation + world nation votes, it won’t affect anything.

    I will keep laughing when I see and hear about palestinian supporters talk about bringing Israel to their knees while their GDP and economy remains unaffected.

    Their Choice.

    Dear Readers,

    I would request you to read following Bible passages and decide for yourself.
    1. Deutoronomy 28- 30
    2. Book of Ezekiel 36-39

  • Al-Razi

    Oh really?

    1) I think you are the one who is silly, observing your statements. I think you live In a fantasy world where you see, where you Jews as constantly under attack. You seem to forget that it was Jewish zionists who established Israel to begin with, forcing the Palestinians out of their homeland. Jews aren’t persecuted anymore, now in Israel since the inception of the state they have been the persecutors, within the Israeli context. Just because one group, the Jews, have been persecuted in the past does not give them the right to attack others.

    2) There is no other alternative? HA! That’s a good one. What?, there is no other alternative to robbing land from a native people and committing ethnic cleansing against them in the name of a barbaric doctrine? I am not surprised by the utter lunacy of this statement, within Israeli and amongst Zionist ranks therein lies many who adhere to a surprisingly warped way of thinking and viewing the world. One example of this warped thinking is the belief that what Israel is doing to the Palestinians is somehow justified.

    3) Your bizarre, childish, and inverted way of thinking quite amuses me. You hold on to that ridiculous belief that at any moment Jews are threatened with their very existence if you want to, but again, I sincerely ask you to reevaluate that thinking. You can live in your little bubble where it’s 1938 again, but just keep in mind the difference between that bubble and reality.

    4) If only leftists from western nations cared, then why have over 100 countries recognized the Palestinian state? Why is there a growing movement within the world on a global scale to attain justice for the Palestinian people. Why has the UN condemned Israel for its actions and respective violations of international law? Even within Israel itself, there are human rights groups which strive for Palestinian justice.

    No one is using the Palestinians as a political tool, contrary to your outlandish claim. The world is becoming increasingly concerned about Israeli apartheid against Palestinians.

    Yes, you have made many ridiculous claims here, but once again I am not surprised. People like commonly live in a fantasy bubble where Israel is the ‘golden city on the hill’. No matter how revolting and horrible an action is committed by Israel against the Palestinians, you people will always try to justify it, through primarily ridiculous and incredibly bizarre assertions.

    @Al-Razi,

    You are really silly to think if the Israelis/Jews will buy into any of the “Arab Peace Initiative” as they know can’t beat them militarily(3 on 1!!!) so they will have to try other means to defeat them.

    They have been pushed out of everywhere starting from the middle east and all the way to Europe for thousands of years and the reason they can survive for so long is because they will do whatever necessary to survive.

    You call it Apartheid but there is no other alternative for Israel.
    If they drop down their weapons, the jewish people will be gone.

    It’s best for Palestinians to look at Vietnam,Japan or Germany right now on how to build/recover their country after a devastating war.

    Outside of Leftists from western nations, No one gives a crap about the Palestinians not even their arab brothers.
    They themselves have to stop allowing people to use them as political tools.

    @Skeptic

    Lol, unless you consider ethnic cleansing and offence to be defense.

    I never said that people shouldn’t defend themselves. What I said was that Israeli policies regarding the Palestinians are atrocious and much of the current ideology responsible for these crimes is because of Zionism, which in turn draws much of its justification from a book that should have been left in the dustbin to rot hundreds of years ago.

    If you call illegal settlements, ethnic cleansing, and apartheid because of religious doctrines defense and security, then I sincerely ask you to reevaluate your thinking. Yet I am not surprised at the irrationality displayed here by you, as people who adhere to such ridiculous religious doctrines/associated ideologies usually are incredibly inverted and childish, not to mention bizarre in their thinking.

  • Skeptic

    How dare the Jews not rely on others for their security and peace of mind!

  • Skeptic

    @Al-razi,

    Yeah Jews should not be allowed to defend and provide security themselves right?

    How dare they!

  • mindy1

    This is so wrong :’(

  • Crow

    What do you expect from low life ziotrash who are protected by the idf, the most immoral army in the world?

  • MC

    And again, will this be on the news networks?

  • Al-Razi

    Judaism, like other religions, is so ridiculous and idiotic in it’s claims that it simply doesn’t fail to amaze me to know that many people actually believe it.

    The chosen people, Leviticus, barbaric laws, sexism, a belief that they are entitled to a special area of land that was meant just for them- I really don’t know how painfully mentally inhibited one has to be to believe all of that bullshit.

    I support a one state solution. And Israel should NOT be a Jewish state. It should be a democratic state where everyone is given equality, and one in which Jews are not favored above anyone else.
