Dozens of Jewish settlers attacked on Saturday morning a Palestinian citizen and his wife in the Masafer Yatta area, south of al-Khalil.

The Masafer Yatta Village Council stated that Saeed Elyan and his wife were injured after they were attacked by settlers in Sha'b Al-Butm area.

The council said that settlers of the Mitzpe Yair settlement threw stones at the farmer Elyan and his wife and beat them while they were on their land. The settlers also smashed the windows of Elyan's private car.

Elyan and his wife were taken to al-Khalil Government Hospital for treatment. Medical sources pointed out that the husband was wounded in his face and suffered bruises in his body while his wife was injured in her pelvis.

Elyan used to stand vigil at his land with his family to defend it against Israeli confiscation.

"Settlers"? "Settlers"?

Puh-leeeeeeeez! Enough with the nauseating euphemisms.

They are murderous thieves. And they are Israelis.

Here's the headline as it should be:

"Murderous Israeli thieves attack Palestinian farmer and his wife in Masafer Yatta"

FIFY!

Winston Smith It's in keeping with the use of Settlers to refer to the people who took American lands from the natives

In most of the civilised world, humans are prosecuted for causing harm to animals.In Palestine animals causing harm to humans is kosher. Perhaps it all depends on which dude in heaven you believe in.
