Footage of West Bank attack

Footage from a video camera handed out by an Israeli human rights group appears to show Jewish settlers beating up Palestinians in the West Bank.

An elderly shepherd, his wife and a nephew said they were attacked by four masked men for allowing their animals to graze near the settlement of Susia.

The rights group, B'Tselem, said the cameras were provided to enable Palestinians to get proof of attacks.

A spokesman for the Israeli police said that an investigation was under way.

So far, no-one has been arrested.

For the past year, B'Tselem has handed out video cameras to Palestinians as part of its "Shooting Back" project.


The Palestinians said they were attacked after refusing to move

The BBC has been given exclusive access to the footage of this particular attack, which happened earlier this week. The date and time on the camera footage shows that it is Sunday afternoon.

This kind of thing has been going on regularly for the 40 years of the occupation. Settlers are almost never prosecuted for their violence. I've spoken to ex IDF soldiers who complain that they would witness attacks on helpless Palestinians, but that they are not allowed to intervene. The settlers know they practically have carte blanche. It's horrendous.

People wonder why so many Palestinians have become radicalised. And yet when you are aware of what they have suffered these past 4 decades, you find yourself surprised that they are not MORE extreme.

Absolutely horrible. Occupation is an ugly business.

I think the Shooting Back project (which gives cameras to farmers so they can record attacks and have some proof for the police) is a great initiative, but nothing's going to change until the international community forces Israel to obey international law and stop building on occupied land. I think the events of the past few decades have given Israel a bit of an untouchability complex - so expect a big tantrum prior to any two-state agreement.

The way things are going, there will be nothing left for a two state agreement. Israel is devouring it all. I will not be surprised, if when my children are grown, Israel finds herself being forced to contemplate a one state solution, after all.

I think this shoot back initiative could work very well, if only these altercations could be zoomed into living rooms of US citizens. This is the only audience in the world that currently matters. There might be less need then for US Presidents and presidential candidates to trip over themselves to eagerly prove their zionist credentials to their electorates. But it seems unlikely that this would be allowed.

Fox Defends Airing Of When Jews Attack

LOS ANGELES�In the face of widespread public outcry, Fox TV executives spoke out Monday in defense of last week's airing of When Jews Attack.

The hour-long, Robert Urich-hosted show�which its detractors are decrying as "shock TV at its basest" and "a sickening appeal to voyeuristic, lowest-common denominator tendencies"�features explicit, uncensored video footage of enraged Jews violently striking out at others.

"For the next hour, what you will see you may find disturbing, even shocking," Urich said during the show's introduction. "But remember: The footage you are about to see is real."

....


"Children should not be exposed to such violent footage," said Sharon Blaine, head of the San Francisco-based What About The Children? organization. "In this day and age, we should be above such trash TV."

"I do not want my child to feel that it is acceptable to resort to hitting, kicking and pinching her siblings, like the Jews she sees on television," concerned parent Sandra Hueber said.

While most of the program's critics are condemning its offensive content, others are objecting to the message it may send the nation's Jews.

"I fear that the televised glamorization of such attacks may wind up provoking America's already-volatile Jewish population into committing further acts of battery," said Anthony Rasmussen, director of the American Center For Media Studies.

In reaction to the show, Jewish groups are calling for a boycott of Fox.

"As a Jew, I am deeply offended by this program," said B'nai B'rith International president Milton Feig during a press conference to announce the boycott. "We must send a clear message to Fox that this sort of garbage will not be tolerated." He then flew into a berserk rage, hurling ceramic vases at reporters and swinging a folding chair wildly.

Footage of Feig's attack is scheduled to air April 8, in a second installment of the show.
