The two settlers had weapons. Why didn't they shoot to kill? The story by the Palistinians that it was the settlers who attacked has a distinct ring of untruth about it. If thay had wanted to attack the arabs they would have used their weapons.

Because if they shot the attackers they would be in jail now. Even though they were being clubbed they were reluctant to use their weapons.

Why not?

Shepherds would never bring their flock near farm area. The goats and the sheep would eat all the wheat and vegetables. The shepherds would only tend the sheep and goats in the hills. As a shepherd in Judea, I know this for a fact. 'The arabs should be brought to justice based on lyes and false facts.

Al the settlers had to hand in their weapons about a year or 2 ago.

They are foreigners and criminals in the eyes of the native Palestinian people (and most of the world).

arabs and islam is foreign to Eretz Israel, you arabs, are invaders just like the british, the french, the otomans, the bizantins, the romans and greeks. The imperialistc forces (from the romans to the arabs,otomans, etc) brougth destruccion and disrespect for the original and native culture, ethnic identity and religion that is Judaism. The only independent people who rule and constitute a nation and a state in this land are Jewish. Whether under ancient kingdoms and rulers such Hasmonean, Davidic, Herods or modern REESTABLISHED State of Israel. (you and the rest of the arabs will be companions of the british, otomans,romans and greeks; just a memory in the history)

There is no such thing as Palestinian, I have yet to find a so-called Palestinian who can find Palestine mentioned in their Queeran

Our archaelogy, our history, and most importamt of all our strong present tense economy say you are clueless. Here is the deal. There is no land that has not changed hands--none. In this instance for the past three thousand years not only has it been ours, most importantly--we built a country, a people, and and economy. Whereas the so called Palestinians have managed do nothing, build nothing, and when they are not whining and whining they throw bombs, teach their children hate and irresponsibility. So my friend, we have weathered lots of hate for lots of time and we keep building, educating, and contributing. A people who does that can not spend a great deal of time litening to people who do not share those values. Compare news stories here. Our Israeli scientists are on the brink of discovering cures for cancer and ways of turning sunlight into hundreds of beneficial products. These so called Palestinians are chasing goats.

you are behind the times. Christian Palestians in the mid east will soon cease to exist as the muslims are driving you out everywhere. I bet you dont live in the mid east. Most of you now live in South America and hezbullah is even following you there.

One day soon /if world prevent Israels aggression against Iran/, setlers will be dealt like Czech people dealt with Germans after the WW2. They moved back to Germany...and fast!!!

THERE IS NO 'WEST BANK' UNLESS IN PARIS. THERE IS JUDEA AND SAMARIA AND ISRAEL WHOSE HISTORY IS OVER 4,000 YEARS OLD. WITHOUT ANY 'SETTLERS' THERE WOULD NOT BE AN RE-BORN ISRAEL. G-D BLESS EACH ONE OF THEM A HERO TO ALL.
