The palestinians are constantly claiming “settlers” hack their olive trees. These are more often than not libels.
Nevertheless, the IDF are a common presence at the olive harvests – except unlike the little old ladies there to provide the media with a photo opp – the soldiers are there to help protect the palestinian olive farmers.
This is important context for what you are about to read.
Israeli soldier was stabbed and lightly to moderately wounded Friday morning in the Gush Etzion settlement bloc, south of Jerusalem.
According to the Hebrew-language Maariv website, the victim, a 20-year-old man, was stabbed in the shoulder. The attacker was shot and wounded by the soldier.
According to an initial investigation, the soldier had been guarding an olive harvest near the settlement of Neve Michael when he was attacked, Channel 2 reported. The soldier shot his assailant in the knee after the attack.
And according to Ha’aretz, the injured soldier was Bedouin.
So what we have here is yet another example of palestinian terrorists biting the hand that feeds them. Any humanitarian gesture on our part is merely an opportunity to kill or maim.
