Wild West Bank: Police Attack Jewish Settlers, Settlers Attack Palestinian Village………..

“Far-rightists from the West Bank settlement of Yizthar on Thursday marched through a neighboring Palestinian village and attacked local homes, to avenge a series of arrests by Israel Police earlier in the day. The group stormed through Hawara to show their anger at the "police crusade against the settlers" after 11 residents of their community were detained, settler spokesman Avraham Binyamin. They surrounded a Palestinian home in and hurled rocks through windows, according to the residents. People inside called for help through a loudspeaker, and the settlers fled as Palestinians converged on the area. srael Police raided Yitzhar early Thursday morning, arresting seven residents suspected of involvement in "price-tag" attacks on Palestinians. Four more residents were arrested soon after. Most of the detainess, who included senior settlement officials, were released shortly after their arrests. …………” Haaretz (Israel)

Interesting: there actually are Israelis who are even more extreme right-wingers than the Likud coalition. More extreme right-wingers than even Sarah Palin and Pat Robertson (but almost certainly less ignorant).
