REGIONAL COURT, LYDD, PALESTINE – A plea deal has been reached in the case of one of two Israeli settlers who were charged in the arson-murder of the Dawabsheh family in July 2015.
Hebron is an ancient city in the West Bank of the Occupied Palestinian Territories with a population of about 220,000 Palestinians and less than 1,000 Jewish settlers.
About 1,000 Israeli soldiers are charged with “keeping the peace,” a job at which they have consistently failed – or so one would suppose, given that for 22 years the city has been obliged to host the TIPH (Temporary International Presence in Hebron).
As a 17 year old Palestinian has been killed by armed Israeli Settlers, after attacking 3 with a knife, the question is again arising; “Are Israeli Settlers Civilians?”…
If you were to take the headlines, fed to you by corporate media, you would probably think that a “Palestinian terrorist killed an Israeli civilian, as the cycle of violence continues”… But what is the reality? Watch Here To Find Out:

A group of 137 Israeli settlers stormed Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa Mosque on Wednesday morning according to a media official from the Islamic Waqf department in Jerusalem.
Firas Aldbs said that the intrusions took place through the Dung Gate in the western wall of al-Aqsa Mosque, which is controlled by the Israeli police.
Dozens of settlers stormed al-Aqsa Mosque and arrested 20 Palestinians in various parts of the West Bank on Tuesday night on charges of resisting the occupation.
Has the world has finally had enough of Israel's actions in Palestine?

Israel can’t continue to use the Jewish victims of the Holocaust to justify its racist and malevolent policies against non-Jewish citizens of Israel

In 2016, one doesn’t have to be Adolf Eichmann to be executed in Israel – it’s enough to be a teenage Palestinian girl with scissors.
