Violent settlers bring shame to Israel

Last week Jewish extremists brutally attacked a Jewish American photojournalist for The Washington Post in the West Bank. Her jacket said PRESS but they beat her with sticks and clubs anyway, leaving her severely injured. While the Israel has arrested several alleged attackers, most were later released under house arrest. It seems obvious Netanyahu's government is doing little to combat these ongoing attacks.

To be clear, the overwhelming majority of the over half million Jews living in the West Bank are peaceful people. But when dozens of armed and violent men are able to wage attacks over months with near impunity, the state’s inaction is interpreted as government approval.

I truly hope Netanyahu is voted out. I am certain it won't stop the islamofascist terror against Israelis, but it will hopefully stop the Israeli settler violence against West Bank Arabs.
