I thought some of you might be interested in this.

BBC News - Settlers filmed shooting at Palestinian protesters?

"An Israeli human rights group has released a video that appears to show Israeli soldiers standing by while Jewish settlers open fire on stone-throwing Palestinian protesters in the West Bank, wounding one of them, reports the BBC's Rupert Wingfield Hayes.
It is the sort of incident that we often hear about, but almost never get to see. This time, thanks to B'Tselem, we have graphic video evidence of what happened."

From your own article,
Quote:
"During the confrontation, live fire was used," it said. "The incident is currently being investigated by the division commander. It appears that the video in question does not reflect the incident in its entirety."
Hmm, I wonder what could be missing. Was this instigated by a previous incident by the "peace loving palestinian muslims", who moved there after they were thrown out of Jordan and Lebanon?

I take it you advocate taking land through socialist force rather than respecting private property rights?

There is no good guy in that conflict.

Here in the US we have a pro-israeli bias while in Europe there is a pro-pal bias in the media.

Ironically, we have all this handwringing over the conditions there while meanwhile 10x worse goes on between India and Pak, both nuclear powers.
