Natan   (06.13.08)
You can really tell so much with this video.. Try again ..please
2. I dont see peace anytime soon.
Sally ,   New Jersey   (06.13.08)
Its the settlers who make it hard for the rest of us to move forward. Many settlers are there to instigate and stir the pot.
3. Short video
Zion   (06.13.08)
Looks like some foreign solidarity group brewing up cheap and quick propaganda videos. Good timing.
4. Now compare this to islamic beheadings and suicide bombings!
Roni   (06.13.08)
5. give me a break
RobertK ,   Jerusalem   (06.13.08)
Humanity will only improve when people get over bigotry and group hatreds--such as toward "settlers." An ex-girlfriend of mine is a settler. A sweet, gentle person. "The settlers" comprise a few hundred thousand people and undoubtedly some of them have committed crimes--whatever the hell is actually going on in this video, which is impossible to tell. The other day a man was blown up in his car in Tel Aviv--and not by "settlers" but by, apparently, Israelis who aren't settlers. Does this reflect on all non-settler Israelis?
6. no one ever pulled this in Gaza
papa jay   (06.13.08)
where is hamas when you need them?
7. Dear Ynet: Shepherds with cameras? Masked men?
Mark ,   USA   (06.13.08)
Where's the evidence that the attackers were Jews? This could have been a pallywood production. I'm sorry for those who suffered real injuries, but militants do not have problem with exposing women, children to IDF retaliation. They are all soldiers of the resistance, and sometimes "martyrs". In the absence of real violence on the part of the Jews, they are resorting to pallywood. Again, why were these shepherds carrying a camera?
8. The camera was ready before the "incident"???
Dr. Jack ,   Canada   (06.13.08)
Here are the facta, The woman knew of the attack, IN ADVANCE, was in the vicinity, with the camera READY!. It was pre-planned, staged and reminds me of other Pallywod hoaxes. Only the media in Israel still buys the story from Reuters of the "unknown masked men". Another al-Dura, or the fake funeral, with the "corpse" jumping out of the coffin? They had there cameras too!
9. Can't see a thing. At most maybe it's the blue shirt bandit.
(06.13.08)
10. Interesting...they had a video camera at the time...
Al   (06.13.08)
I didnt know that sheep hearding requires a video camera. 10 to 1 this was a staged event with rubber batons. Pallywood at its best. They can always assume that schmattas like YNEY will carry this dreck without critical review.
11. More Pallywood fake news
David ,   Houston TX   (06.13.08)
The confirmation of the Al Dura hoax makes it impossible to trust anything reported as "news" by the Arabs or their leftist supporters.
12. Let's be a bit more scientific
Prof. Reuven Bar-On ,   Israel   (06.13.08)
How do we know the identity of these thugs? They could be anyone including Jews (residents of Judea), illegal Arab settlers (who originated from Arabia and elsewhere) or non-Arab foreigners. Let's try to be a bit more scientific in identifying them before making accusations.
13. History Repeat
Alex ,   Jesus Land   (06.13.08)
No wonder no Zionist comment until now!! This has been the same since more than 60 years, the same way of stealing lands and kicking Palestinians from there villages, its all written in the history, whatever the media distortion of the facts try to do, most of the world media owned by Zionist. Do you think god creat humans for nothing, No No No... there will be a day, the justice rule the world and oprressed people will get there lands and rights.... And its soon.... Almahdi and Jesus
14. unlike Palestinians', that attack is indiscriminate
observer   (06.13.08)
because you can't discriminate the offenders from masked settlers!
15. B'Tselem has handed out 100 video cameras
observer   (06.13.08)
Over the brow of the hill walk four masked men holding baseball bats. To the right of the screen, in the foreground, stands a 58-year-old Palestinian woman. Thamam al-Nawaja has been herding her goats close to the Jewish settlement of Susia, near Hebron in the southern West Bank. Within a few seconds, she, along with her 70-year-old husband and one of her nephews, will be beaten up. As the first blows land, the woman filming - the daughter-in-law of the elderly couple - drops the camera and runs for help. "The settlers gave us a 10-minute warning to clear off from the land," "They don't want us to stay on our land. But we won't leave. We'll die here. It's ours," she added.
16. I always take my camera with me when I herd my sheep.
Alex ,   Haifa, Israel   (06.13.08)
The pallywood strikes once more! And idiots actually believe this BS.
17. disgusting!
Ruben ,   Tel Aviv Israel   (06.13.08)
what a disgrace...
18. Unbelievable
Bill ,   US   (06.13.08)
Settlers walking around shirtless and in shorts just as these innocent shepards had a video camera ready. Can't Pallywood get a good costume designer to spend the three bucks on tsitsis. I'm surprised the video didn't end with somebody yelling, "aaand cut!"
19. It looks like Pallywood strikes again!
Concerned Person ,   USA   (06.13.08)
YNet, why do you continue to let Ali Waked contribute articles of dubious factual integrity? For the sake of being "politically correct"? For the sake of "showing both sides of the issue"? If Ali Waked can't prove that the accusations he levies against the Israeli people have a basis in established fact, he shouldn't be allowed to write articles that border on slander and incitement. End of story.
20. #2: "It's the settlers"
Jake   (06.13.08)
Walt and Mearsheimer: "It's the Zionist lobby". Stalin: "It's the rootless cosmopolitans" Hitler: "It's the Untermenschen" The Tzar: "It's the Elders of Zion" Any more crafty euphemisms?
21. Search YouTube for Hebron or Rumeida
observer   (06.13.08)
22. Facts in depth
Wuali Leben ,   Nearby CSI   (06.14.08)
Don't wonder whether a shepherd carry on a video camera. Nowadays palestinian countryman are rich & famous thank to "Palestine now" is a wealthy country. How they know there will be an attack? Because the infiltrate super-secret "Council of the elders of the Cis-bank" (Don't you remember their famous Protocols of The Settlers of Samaria"?) Well, a group of palestinian intellectuals disguise as shepherd to grab the scene and show the world Zionist brutality against them. By the way, their masked faces because they were warned before hand about the attack they will make against them This account is as clear to grab as the video is. Salaam Aleikum. & thank to B'Tselem for help us to help us in our suffering. Jariv Berliner
23. Behold, Betselem's Big Scoop!
Jake   (06.13.08)
How many years did it take for Betselem to come up with this scoop? And to what length did they go? They must have perfected the art of sending an undercover sheep into a flock with a hidden camera in its wool. Pehaps Betselem should engage in simpler missions, like filming the Palestinian lynch mobs that instinctively seem to form whenever an Israeli motorist takes a wrong turn into their village.
24. Do we punish all football fans every time hooligans
Jake   (06.13.08)
tear up the seats in the stadium and beat up the fans of the opposing team? I remember a few years ago, the English football hooligans at an England-Ireland match in Lansdowne Road made these guys look like altar boys. Or how about when Eric Cantona made a karate kick to a fan that was taunting him? Were all Manchester United players given Red Cards? Well, in this case, the BBC and Betselem have given the entire Jewish community of Judea and Samaria the Red Card, by declaring that "all Jewish settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories are illegal under International Law." Clearly, the actions of individual youths are just an excuse for attacking "the root of the problem".
25. #15, "over the brow of the hill"
Jake   (06.13.08)
So now you also weave poetry into your incoherent ramblings? Perhaps it will make them more believable? Now if you'll excuse me, I have some goats that need herding over the brow of the hill. I won't take a cell phone with me, so that I can call the cops in case I get attacked by bad guys. I'll take a camera.
26. PALLYWOOD FAKE BS!!!
andy ,   orlando.u.s   (06.14.08)
27. After tens of thousands of Arabs terrorist attacks!
Galit ,   NY   (06.13.08)
How dare they.
28. Oh yeah
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (06.14.08)
This video is sooo convincing (NOT)
29. It's not like they used machetes
Fradi Zeeb ,   NY, US and A   (06.14.08)
B'Tselem is a western propaganda arm. It was all over the BBC. My family was attacked with machetes by ottomans and then had to go to the nazis in Europe in the 20's. My father was all that was left after WW2. Where is my right of return to Hebron? Should I ask Bush for one?
30. B'Tselemwood exclusive for BBC
Cynthia ,   USA   (06.13.08)
Per BBC, B'Tselem gave this video directly to them for initial publication. It was obviously not intended for investigative purposes or they would have handed it over to Israeli investigators. We should ask B'Tselem why they only give these cameras to Palestinians when hundreds of acts of Palestinian violence and terror are undeniable.
