West Bank – About 40 masked settlers entered the Palestinian village of Burin Wednesday in the area of the Samaria Regional Brigade and began throwing stones at residents and their homes, according to the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit.

IDF forces arrived at the scene and removed the settlers from the village, according to the unit.
But video released by Rabbis for Human Rights shows IDF soldiers standing idly by as settlers hurl rocks at the village’s residents.
Former Defense Minister Amir Peretz came out swinging against the settlers’ actions Wednesday.
“The case of settlers throwing stones at Palestinians undermines Israeli law, and therefore we must act with determination and without delay so that the territory in our responsibility will not become a no-man’s-land where there are pogroms of rioters under our noses,” he said. “These acts are contrary to Jewish morality and Zionist interests. The authorities must open an immediate investigation without any compromise ”
Security forces will continue to work to prevent such occurrences, they said
Settlers from the Yitzhar area in the northern West Bank say that the attack by Israelis on the Palestinian village of Burin followed an attack by Palestinians near the Yitzhar Junction.
Video shot by residents of the settlement appears to show Palestinian youth, apparently from nearby Burin, burning tires and throwing rocks at the main road near Yitzhar.
Stop calling radical leftist activists “Rabbis” they are מוסרים or quislings not Rabbis.
Key difference between the Israeli’s and Palestinians.
When Israeli’s throw rocks they are apprehended. And if security forces were lax in apprehension those responsible will be held accountable.
The Palestinians just cheer the crowds on and encourge stone throwing as a “peaceful” means of protest. That’s because even peaceful Palestinians want us dead.
May the Palestinians be smitten with cancer &ALS;
Btzelem and eirav rah at work
Oh, only we have to investigated bec we have morals, but those who don’t have morals need not be investigated
First it says USF removes them, and the next sentence says they stood by and let the”settlers”throw stones. Which one is it? And why isn’t the pro arab liberal press ever upset when Israelis are attacked with boulders by arabs?
The SETTLERS DIDN’T THROW STONES FOR NO REASON!!!!
THEY HAVE BEEN PROVOKED RELENTLESSLY AND WITHOUT ANY MORAL DECENCY BY THE ARABS, THE ARAB SCHOOLS ONLY TEACH VIOLENCE AND HATRED OF THE JEWD
DEPIRT ALL ARABD NOW FROM ALL PARTS OF ISRAEL, AND IF THERE ARE LEFTIES WHO SYMPATHISE WITH THE ARABS, THEN DEPORT THEM AS WELL, LET THEM LUVE AMONGST THWIR ARAB BUDDIES, BUT, NOT IN ISRAEL
