Jewish settlers act like terrorists in Hebron

The Israeli human rights group B'Tselem has released graphic video footage showing settlers fighting with Palestinians in Hebron and shooting two men at close range in the hours after a settler house was evacuated by police yesterday.

The film, recorded by a Palestinian resident in Hebron, shows settlers attacking his house, which was in a valley close to the three-storey building where dozens of settlers were evicted by Israeli riot police. In the hours after the eviction, Jewish settlers rioted in Hebron, throwing stones at police and Palestinians and setting fire to Palestinian trees and attacking Palestinian homes. Most of the violence took place between the evicted house and the nearby hardline Jewish settlement of Kirya Arba.

The footage shows a settler firing a handgun and injuring two Palestinians, Hosni Abu Se'ifan, 40, who was hit in the chest and is now in a stable condition in hospital, and his father, Abd al-Hai Abu Se'ifan, 65, who was hurt in the arm. Others from the family then overpower the gunman until armed Israeli security guards from the Kiryat Arba settlement arrive and shoot several rounds over the heads of the Palestinians. The Abu Se'ifan family have frequently been targeted by settlers in the past.

B'Tselem handed the video to Israeli police in Hebron last night and was "demanding that the assailant is immediately brought to justice and that the involvement of the security guard be investigated".

"Additionally, the security forces must investigate the failures that allowed settlers to riot throughout the afternoon and evening in Hebron's Palestinian neighbourhoods," the rights group said.

Since early last year B'Tselem has given out more than 100 small video cameras to Palestinians living in the occupied West Bank to allow them to record human rights abuses, and particularly the increasingly violent clashes with settlers. The group says the video recordings encourage accountability and are frequently used as evidence to bring cases against soldiers and settlers who break the law.

There are around 470,000 Jewish settlers living in the West Bank and east Jerusalem and their numbers are increasing every year, even though all settlements in the occupied territories are illegal under international law.

Please correct your title, these settlers don't act like terrorists, they ARE terrorists and thieves, like the rest of all racist colonial settlers, who steal natives' lands alongside their properties, culture, history...

The origin countries of these freak settlers need to take care of them. Just look at the racist Lieberman who used to be a bouncer in his real country, Moldavia, but now he is the "foreign minster" in apartheid Israel, and he want to complete the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.

I've been to Israel plenty of times, love the country. But settlers in Hebron and other occupied territories are some of the worst, most disgusting people ever. There's no difference between some of these people and a suicide bomber.

The Jew build homes on purpose on stolen land and then call in the army to protect them, a Fucking Jews are thief's in Israel in america and world wide. All Jews are the same, that's why they were able to survive so long because they are parasite and manipulate governments and people and play the victim card.
