"The woman, who did not want her name published for safety reasons, added: 'This is not about us. We were beaten for 15 minutes. Palestinians here endure this violence every day, every hour, a thousand-fold.' ...

Activists say that violent incidents have become an almost daily occurrence. Attacks have included settler mobs breaking into homes and beating villagers, stealing 200 sheep, two cars and destroying solar panels"

A comment: I thought quite a while about whether to use the #Terrorism tag on that post.

What both the state of #Israel, and 'unofficial' gangs of #Israeli thugs, are doing in both #Gaza and the rest of #Palestine is terrorism. But the narrative in Western media presenting the Israelis as the 'good guys' and Palestinians as terrorists is so persuasive that I was worried that some readers might think I was accusing the victims of these attacks of terrorism.
