West Bank, August 1st, 2009, (Pal Telegraph) -Dozens of extremist Israeli settlers of the Shavot Ami illegal outpost, installed on Palestinian lands west of the southern West Bank of Nablus attacked dozens of Palestinian vehicles and hurled stones at them.

Local sources reported that several vehicles were damaged, but no injuries were reported.

Israeli soldiers and policemen were present in the area but did not attempt to stop the settlers.

Ghassan Douglas, in charge of the settlements file at the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, warned of the severity of these attacks, and added that Friday attack came parallel with a statement issued by settler leaders in the West Bank calling for more violence against the Palestinians and their properties.

Last week, the settlers carried repeated attacks against the residents and their homes especially in areas south west of Nablus.

Douglas called on human rights and legal groups to intervene and stop the attacks.

In July, the settlers carried dozens of attacks against the residents, and burnt olive orchards and vines.

I will repeat my comment here since I believe it to be a connected.

Violence causes new violence, hate generates new hate...

The NAZI caused a grave injustice and committed an inexcusable atrocity onto several groups of people the Jews where one of their main victims.

The Jews that survived this horror went on to Palestine and forced a new State into existence named Israel, and this with out respecting the Native population, they committed a new injustice out of their pain and fears wish has generated hate and anger with in the Native Palestinian that fought back with generating hate and fear again.

The cycle has to be broken in order for peace to take roots and prosper.

Palestine has as much a rights to the land of Israel as the European and American Immigrants do today or rather their children that where born there. 

Ideally the whole area should become a Republic, meaning a Federal Republic that is based on laic laws and includes all the territories and people. Giving all equal rights and prospects. 

The Roman called it Palestine and so did the Greek and European after that as well as the Arab Kingdoms and today's Nations.

There for it should be the Federal Republic of Palestine with a State or department called Israel as it was in Roman times.

All Jews, Christian and Muslim of that area have a right to exist and strive and to live in peace. 

This peace can only be with in a State that is laic and that is inclusive of all groups concerned with out discrimination.    

Thank you for the post Sameh.

Eins ist klar - das gibt Hass. Und noch eins ist klar : machtet Ihr das mit meinen Kinder oder Enkeln gibt es eins drauf...und zum Schluß ist klar: Freunde werden wir nie Israel! Nie! Mörder.
