Footage from a video camera handed out by an Israeli human r

Footage from a video camera handed out by an Israeli human rights group appears to show Jewish settlers beating up Palestinians in the West Bank.

An elderly shepherd, his wife and a nephew said they were attacked by four masked men for allowing their animals to graze near the settlement of Susia.

The rights group, B'Tselem, said the cameras were provided to enable Palestinians to get proof of attacks.

A spokesman for the Israeli police said that an investigation was under way.

So far, no-one has been arrested. (BBC)

Had the situation been reversed, jewish livestock grazing on arab land, the arabs would have beheaded the jews. They should be thankful all they got was a minor beating.

Sorry but beating old women for nothing is outragous. Read the full story. This was not a "minor beating".

Update, Isreali police arrest two of the settlers involved.

I know, I've read it a few days ago somewhere.

Thanks for your comment. Cheers.

What an ingenious idea giving the palestinians cameras! I heard about this on CBC radio this morning and thought I'd check it out.

Settlers have no right, under international law, to even be living in West Bank. It is occupied land. Occupied since 1967. These settlers don't belong there.

This is 2008 brain ache

Thats true, but that was then and this is now. Every year in Leipzig Germany the Neo-Nazis march from the north to the South of the city, but the residents of the south group and form an anti fascists blockade to stop them, which they succeed every year. Is germany still caling for the extermination of jews and others. No. These are thugs and theres no excuse for their actions. in America they would all be arrested and given a tough sentence for this violent assault.

You're sick if you think that behaviour is acceptable. Like saying you're lucky you got away with just a 9/11.

you should worry about the actual genocide, land, SYSTEMATIC RAPE of darfur, instead of applying these false labels to occurences that happens to indigenous populations in virtually all civilized nations (Removal from land, disperse, it aint pretty, but take a histry class its what happens it sucks)

February 1941, al-Hussayni (Palestinian leader in the British Mandate of Palestine) submitted to the German government[105] a draft declaration of German-Arab cooperation, containing a clause:

Germany and Italy recognize the right of the Arab countries to solve the question of the Jewish elements, which exist in Palestine and in the other Arab countries, as required by the national and ethnic (völkisch) interests of the Arabs, and as the Jewish question was solved in Germany and Italy.[106]
