Chagai Segal: Settler violence miniscule compared to Palestinian violence

Dr. Aaron Lerner Date: 5 October 2008

Translation:

"The incidents of settler violence towards Palestinians are nothing compared
to the many thousands of incidents in the reverse direction. In the last
(Jewish calendar) year, a relatively quiet year, eight settlers were
murdered by Palestinians. Some 6,000 fruit bearing trees were uprooted this
past summer in one night in a Jewish orchard in Binyamin, twice the number
of olive trees that the Palestinians claim were uprooted in the last three
years, but the Leftist propaganda machine succeeded that only the few
incidents in which some annoyed Jews followed suite are engraved in the
public's awareness..All the descriptions of police ignoring settler crime is
demagoguery meant to strengthen the image of Judea and Samaria as a lawless
place. Yes, the police don't always capture the criminals, but in Gush Dan
(AL: Tel Aviv metropolis) the police also barely catch anyone.
