  1. > According to activists from the village of Umm al-Khair in the West Bank, where the shooting took place, the killing happened after a settler in a bulldozer drove through their land, destroying trees and property.

    > When a resident approached to ask the driver of the bulldozer to stop, the driver knocked him down with the blade of the bulldozer. Residents began to throw stones, and Levi allegedly emerged from the settlement and began firing. Hathaleen, who was standing a distance away from the confrontation, was then struck by a bullet.

    What. The. Fuck. 

    I mean of course one can’t blindly trust the activists but the facts alone seem disturbing. A (formerly) sanctioned Israeli drives a bulldozer in the West Bank (not even inside an illegal settlement, straight up Palestinian territory), destroying other people’s property and then one of the locals there ends up shot by him, with no sign of similar aggression by the other side. 

  4. Settler like to stir shit up because they believe in ancient god promised land stories

  6. Israel needs to reign these fucking lunatics the fuck in. They are no better than terrorists themselves.

  8. Guys you dont get it!!! When Hamas comes into israel and kills a bunch of people it warrents ethnic cleansing of Gaza but when Israelies do it its totally fine guys. You dont get it, the right to rape and pillage was promised to then thousands of years ago!!!

  9. I’m sure they’ll spin it in a way that he was just defending himself.

  10. If you’re surprised by this, you haven’t been paying attention. West Bank settler violence has been going on decades and has always been backed by the Israeli government refusing to punish violent settlers and using force against any who try to stop them.
