'Jewish settler attack' on film...

Footage from a video camera handed out by an Israeli human rights group appears to show Jewish settlers beating up Palestinians in the West Bank.

An elderly shepherd, his wife and a nephew said they were attacked by four masked men for allowing their animals to graze near the settlement of Susia.

The rights group, B'Tselem, said the cameras were provided to enable Palestinians to get proof of attacks.

A spokesman for the Israeli police said that an investigation was under way.

So far, no-one has been arrested.

For the past year, B'Tselem has handed out video cameras to Palestinians as part of its "Shooting Back" project.

The BBC has been given exclusive access to the footage of this particular attack, which happened earlier this week. The date and time on the camera footage shows that it is Sunday afternoon.

That is sickening, but sadly so true of the oppression and abuse/ violence the Palestinians face every day and have been doing so the past couple of decades. Even with secret cameras and proof on film, the Israel government wont do anything.
I'm glad the BBC have played the footage but was it given air time in the news?
They wonder why the Palestinians retaliate with revenge attacks and how they are quickly played all over the world in the media and world news.

Shocking indeed, but just look at the strength and resolve of the Palestinians in that footage. Four people coming at you with baseball bats and you stand your ground, that's faith!

I agree Sarfaraz. Also credit where its due - the human rights group who handed the cameras to the Palestinian farmers were Israeli themselves and because of this the world has seen the attrocities and acts of terrorism by the zionist Israeli authorities. This proves we must not be quick to paint every group or organisations with the same brush - there are good and bad in every nation, culture, group, society etc.
