08-10-07 - Hebron: Reflection on Reportage of an Eviction in Hebron I am satisfied that justice was done in evicting the illegal squatters. What is
profoundly unsettling for me is the exaggeration of the need for military and
other security personnel, of the numbers of such personnel reputedly present, as
well as of the numbers of activists and protestors, and of their reputed
violence. What is to be gained by all this hype? What is even more disturbing, however, is the minimizing in the Israeli and
other presses of the real violence of Israeli citizens, both settlers and
security personnel, against Palestinians and internationals, that I and other
CPTers have witnessed and endured each day, and increasingly so in recent days. Ten masked teenaged Israelis attacked one Palestinian in the Tel Rumeida
neighborhood of Hebron on 5 August, for example. Again, Israeli settlers beat
two international volunteers at the Palestinian house illegally occupied by
squatters in March 2007 that they named, "Beit Shalom," on 6 August while
Israeli soldiers stood and watched.
