As people will know, EDO locally manufactures bomb release mechanisms and other
parts for the Israeli airforce. Film has just become available of one of
many such attacks by settlers on unarmed and peaceful Palestinian farmers
in the occupied West Bank. In the attack, 2 elderly peasants are set
about by 4 masked settlers from the nearby settlement and beaten to the ground
with sticks, suffering broken and factured bones.
An Israeli peace group, B'tselem, have resorted to handing out video cameras to
people in order to capture such events because normally the practice of the
Israeli army and police is to automatically side with the settlers. We
will see whether they do so this time.
