We Are The Third Man
The cruelty of many of the Settlers is well known and documented. Settlers celebrated the Assassination of the Prime Minister Rabin, a man of peace. Meir Kahane from the United States. What purpose is served by what some Israeli Settlers do? Why does Israel not take a firmer stand with these radical terrorist types? They are creating fear using terror tactics. Their strategy? Push all the Arabs out of the old, centuries old Biblical lands of Israel. That's just nuts.
Rational, Liberal Jews and other Jews have to rue the day they stood side by side with these people.
"Meir Kahane was an American-born, far-right Israeli rabbi and ultranationalist politician who founded the militant Jewish Defense League in the United States and the ultra-nationalist Kach party in Israel. He advocated for the expulsion of Palestinians and the establishment of a theocratic Jewish state."

Cruelty has become commonplace in the West Bank, where extremist Israeli settlers beat and shoot Palestinians, steal their sheep, uproot their olive groves and torch cars and homes. The settlers, outlaws in a multitude of ways, seldom face consequences for their actions.
But even for Palestinians living under the constant threat of being attacked, some violence retains the capacity to shock.
That was the case when a video went viral that showed a settler menacing a year-and-a-half-old dog with a club in each fist — and swinging hard, beating her over the head.
In the video, the dog, a Belgian Malinois named Lucy, squeals in pain and tries to scramble away. But she had been chained to an olive tree to keep her in the shade on a hot afternoon.
What follows, recorded by the dog’s owners, a Palestinian family in the village of Atara, is extremely difficult to watch, and to describe.
