they think they have a mandate from god to own this land. and they re willing to do whatever it takes. these fringe elements are re religious extremists. it doesn t matter who it is. they think it s okay. the woman you spoke to and one of the things that was sort of bracing about this was she was remarkably honest about his motives. she was like it s zero sum. there s only so much land. we want it all. we will do what it takes to get it. i asked her, if this violates human rights she was like i only believe in the human rights of god. that s her rationalization. she doesn t care about the laws of israel or the international community. all she cares about is the fact that this land has been given to her by god. and when she came back from jail she was greeted essentially as a hero. her community saw what she did as brave and noble. she chose to go to jail.
she was sentenced to community service. there was a lot of complaints that the israeli government has not been prosecutoring these cases hard enough. she chose to go to jail. when she came home among the radical settlement that she lives in she was greeted as a he hero. others have lodged a complaint a ton that price tag attacks go on completely unpunished. particularly in cutting down of trees, this is a consistent complaint. the murder is a rare thing. usually it s cutting down olive trees, or vandalizing houses. there have been nine houses burned down in the last few years but when those things are sort of given, or people are allowed to do those with immunity or they re not prosecuted fully or not targeted or arrested it s going to
of complaints that they don t do anything to curb additional settlements and violence perpetrated by settlers. having been there last summer and having seen what happened to gaza, are you worried that we are headed on the path toward something else like that again? i was in gaza in january as well during the reconstruction and everyone there and inin israel believes it s only a matter of time before this happens again. these sort of incidents have the tendency to spiral out of control. hamas calls for a day of rage. the israelis retaliate and it builds and builds. i think things were relatively speaking, calm today. i do believe there was a young palestinian that was killed by israeli defense forces maybe more than one. i saw reports of a 17-year-old. that s the one i was referring to. i don t know. i mean you never know what s happening there, how fast things could really get out of control. we should also say that one of the great shames of the world right now is the state
outrage and whiedide condemnation in the wake of an attack. in the best bank palestinian town attackers fire bombed a home. hebrew graffiti nearby including the word revenge and the star of david. an 18 month old boy was burned and killed. the mother and brother were also burned and critically injured. benjamin netanyahu visited the family and had this to say. we condemn this. there s zero tolerance for violence. we have to fight it and fight it together. i spoke to the president right before i entered the hospital and told him this visit, and how israel s absolute commitment to fight this evil and find the
escalate. you were reporting during the gaza wars last year. that started, i mean nothing ever starts in this conflict at one moment but this horrific murder of three students who were in the west bank. there was a reprisal murder of a palestinian boy who was burned alive in jerusalem and a war between israel and hamas. in that case benjamin netanyahu, as soon as the murder happened, i pin this an hamas. they created the condition for this. you see now the palestinian negotiator saying we put this on the government. that is very connected to the settler movement. talk about the connection between this government and the movement. i mean there are far right wing members of the government that are like that. that are very strongly believe in the settler movement. and netanyahu, himself, has given his blessing for more settlements, and there is a lot
