Israeli settler violence is on the rise with a recent United Nations report indicating that the first half of this year saw more attacks than all of 2007 combined.
The recent settler attack on southern Nablus' Asira Al Qabiliya Village was even denounced by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert who described it as a "pogrom." However Olmert did not publically acknowledge the role of the Israeli military in that assault.
Meanwhile both settlers and soldiers again joined in Saturday's attack on Hebron homes and fields.
Today in the southern West Bank's Hebron, Israeli settlers stole olives in the midst of the harvest and broke into the home of Mohammad Abu Tarqib, assaulting the 50 year old and his two sons.
Abu Tarqib's wife said that the settlers were joined by the Israeli army in the attack on land and residents in Hebron's Tel Rumeida.
As settlers swarmed the Palestinian fields soldiers arrested owner Abu Tarqib and his sons. After several hours they were released.
A strong call was issued to local and international human rights organizations to intervene in order to stop the repeated attacks by settlers in the area. Citizens report increased difficulty in reaching their lands, particularly as the olive harvest is getting under way, but note that theft is a yearly routine.
All Israeli settlers and settlements exist in direct contravention to international law and United Nations resolutions.

Michael Falin wrote a book "The Winged Dagger". He wrote of his times in Palestine in the 1946-47 period. He wrote of the atrocities caused by the "zionist terrorists". The urgan gang along with the israeli future leaders were doing their best to terrorize the arab Palestinian peoples. The terrorist zionists were at that time killing British soldiers in Palestine with impunity.
Nothing has changed in this zionist/jewish controlled western world. The Asian world is another story they will clean out the nefarious jewish influence and I for one will be elated when I see these cowardly inhumane peoples bought to justice. israel you are a blight on our existence and also a disgrace to mankind, what disgusting, self serving, cowardly peoples you are. If my comments are in anyway construed as anti-semitic(most israeli jews are from Russia or there abouts)then I proudly where the patch of such. I think the Palestinan folks are true heroes to try to route an illegally occupying force. There is a UN resolution 42/159 authorizing peoples living under occupation of regimes(israel) the right to resist. Go Palestine, F,,,,, israel!!
