Prof. Ali ,   Al-Quds University   (06.14.08)
I don't see any science in your silly argument, I thought that you'll indeed talk about "scientific" argument. Those who came from Russia, Africa, USA, UE, and Canada can't decide who are the TRUE owners of this land. Although you have power and money, you can't change history. Look at yourself in the mirror professor and you can't be proud of your state 6o anniversary; a birthday that has too much occupation, oppression, and ignorance. I don't know if you are really a professor or you are an oppressor!!!!
32. Just btselem being btselem:fabrications to attack Jews
Arie ,   BaGolan   (06.13.08)
MASKED attackers with no identifying marks; a "victim" just happens to have a video camera to film the assault and then "manages to escape." Even btselem could have come up with something better than a third rate paliwood production. Or maybe not - they're working with what they have!
33. #15-you seem to know btselem well
Arie ,   BaGolan   (06.14.08)
Including the ability to print anything and everything hamas wants them to.
34. NOT BELIEVABLE: STAGED STUNT , PATHETIC
Doomham   (06.14.08)
What was actually filmed? Yes we see violence, but do we see 'settlers' Israelis - NO WE DONT. This sick community sends its own children to explode themselves. So how does the staged bashing of their own compare? "All for the cause" It doesnt , does it? Nothing surprises as to level these filthy low-life scum will go.
35. Real Beating?
Dan ,   Titusville, FL USA   (06.14.08)
Imagine a cameraman just at the right place when masked med beat the crap out of Palestinians. I do not know if I should cheer or say STAGED.
36. Blame it all on "Pallywood"
Austin, TX   (06.13.08)
Wow, it seems those of you blaming this on "Pallywood" haven't talked to or seen the more violent settlers in action. You've got to be kidding me. In fact, I'm sure the entire occupation is MADE UP! The Palestinians probably made it up that settlements are built on 90% of private Palestinian land, too! Any of you ever been to Hebron? Apparently not.
37. Who say's the masked attackers were not Arab?
Jack ,   San Diego, USA   (06.14.08)
38. #7
P ,   Philadelphia   (06.13.08)
Perhaps they're carrying a camera because they're afraid of being attacked by settlers. Given the climate, having as much video footage of the area to catch atrocities by both sides seems like a good thing.
39. #2 - Living in New Jersey and speaking for whom?
Arie ,   BaGolan   (06.14.08)
Do YOU have proof they were Jews? They were masked with no identifying marks and women watching their men play with sheep "just happen" to have video cameras. First prove the allegation - btselem never can - and those islamists are right here. You're in NJ watching doctored videos that show no one and you know the answer!
40. whats the big deal???
joseph ,   NYC   (06.13.08)
if a jew just get in a palastinian teritory by a mistake , they will shoot him and drag his dead body thru town. i'm sure that all the jews that were linched by palastinians would love to switch with this family that got beat up.
41. not surprised.
socalmaverick ,   sunny so-cal   (06.14.08)
you kill women and children on a daily basis. beating them is a walk in the park
42. No one was charged
Moshe ,   Brooklyn   (06.14.08)
Perhaps these were muslims putting on a mask and make the Jews look bad.
43. Lights, action, camera
Steve ,   San Francisco   (06.13.08)
It's a take. Wrap it. Another short feature from: Btselem Films, Inc. funded by PA Arts Council
44. Video
Phil H   (06.14.08)
difference here is, Israel WILL find them and they WILL be punished. In an Arab country, those atacking Jews would not be prosecuted.
45. to 16
pp   (06.14.08)
yes, good point,
46. If this is true then it is wrong
Robby ,   San Jose, USA   (06.13.08)
If this is truly unprovoked Jewish settlers then it is wrong and will solve nothing.
47. #2 !!!
matityahu ,   rishon letzion   (06.14.08)
the "REST OF US?" you live in New Jersey, this doesn't involve you. You can try to move forward before you tell us to.
48. How to make a better propaganda clips
Movie director ,   Hollywood   (06.13.08)
Dear clip maker. I would like to give you some tips how to make your propaganda more efficient. 1. First make sure your actors aren't wearing colorfull kafieyas, but something more "neutral" like black face masks. 2. You must dress your actors jewishly the way settlers dress up. 3. Try to make your clip longer with lots of audio and a " story" it lookes too staged. 4. Make sure you have " wtnesses" in order to " interview" them afterwords. 5. Publicize and show the " victims" and their names for better credibility. 6. Make sure the " director" of the clip is available to explain it and answer questions. 7. Pleeeese don't show baseball bats- Have you ever see a religion settler play baseball? Unfortunately it looks like a cheap propaganda this time and it's regrettable. Even Al Dura clip was better.I would like to invite some of you to Hollywood. Please come and I will teach you " special effects" and other Hollywood stunts.
49. So... who passed this video to the BBC?
Enzo ,   london,uk   (06.13.08)
Was it B'Tselem? I don't think so, because that would be VERY naughty indeed!!!
50. Video shows masked men attacking Palestinian shepherds
Steven Spielberg ,   USA 1947   (06.14.08)
A 68-year-old woman who was evacuated to Soroka Medical Center by helicopter in serious condition. 70-year-old husband, sustained mild injuries and was treated by IDF Latter awarded the medal of honor for hiding behind his wife. The video has been nominated by the cinematic for best director and best drama. It will be the opening clip for the up coming film festival in July
51. Settler violence
Noam ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (06.13.08)
Settler violence in Susya is not a new thing, it's been happening for decades. If people would like to learn about this, they can just drive up to Susya, it's just a short drive from Arad or Ber Sheva. Just spend a day there and read about Susya's history in last 30 years. There are also many documents available online. The cameras were given to the family as part of Btselem's 'Shooting Back' project to document the settler violence. There has been many incidents like this, just that Israelis have been refusing to confront this, in the name of what??? Don't be quick to ignore this incident by saying 'Pallywood propoganda' etc. We all have to face what is happening in the Territories.
52. Bzelem handed out 100 videocams.The BBC TV is showing movie
Alan ,   SA   (06.13.08)
53. Something doesnt add up
Jay3 ,   Israel   (06.13.08)
She drops the camera and runs???? Then how did they get the camera back? Did the settlers so kindly give it back to them? Doubt it. Sounds like a load of bull! More Palliwood and YNet should be ashamed of reporting only from Palastinian witnesses !
54. More Ali Waked propaganda!
Jay3 ,   Israel   (06.13.08)
55. 100 video cameras that B'Tselem has handed out
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. See the video, published one day back, at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/7451691.stm
56. the video

57. no arrests had been made = no investigations
observer   (06.13.08)
5 days are more than enough to arrest culprits; whether settlers in Israel or on the moon.
58. #12 no arrests of the "anyones" had been made
observer   (06.13.08)
that means scientifically that no investigation was made. The video was the only proof that on these occasions nothing is going to happen.
59. sue the BBC for masking voice of the video
