I am genuinely lost for words... I could write for ages about how barbaric, disgusting, diabolical, abhorrent, and inhumane this is, but nothing will do what terror I just witnessed justice.
This is only a glimpse of what you've, as an American, experienced in a short stay; imagine what hell Palestinians live through everyday.
You're truly a Hero Jasper, I pray for you and that poor lady's safety. Truly heart breaking.
Israel lost its way at it's inception, it has ALWAYS been this way, just not as overt. Israel was formed on the basis of terrorism, massacres, ethnic cleansing and an apartheid culture, there have about 100 UN resolutions decrying it's actions and has ignored every one, there were conditions on it getting a seat at the UN that it has NEVER met, these too are things that while being documented, are buried so no one sees them.
Thank you for your heartfelt comment. Sadly, Palestinians have been persecuted, harassed, injured, detained and kil$ed by Israeli “law enforcement” for decades. My dear friend has told me about the abuse, persecution her Palestinian family has endured throughout their lives, as well that experienced by friends in Palestine - sometimes in real time. One example was her dying father, in an ambulance with her mom, being chased down. The video was frightening. I’ve known this wonderful family 15 years. The stories would break your heart.
I will try to share this as much as possible. I am trying to make the point to people that there is a war going on by other means in the West Bank, mainly of psychological torture;
Destruction of property and shelter, destruction of means of livelihood, arrests and torture, murders,complete loss of privacy and safety, zero legal protection and on and on.
This is the DNA of Israel. It is in every single cell. They do worse than this all the time and did to exist. This is what all our politicians AND ALL ZIONISTS LIBERAL OR OTHERWISE created, supported and bend over backwards to protect. Without this, there was and is no Israel. Built and maintained by relentless racist violence. Totally and completely inseparable.
Here's the thing: if this happened in the US - or in pretty much any country on Earth - and police officers were present, they would use deadly force against the settler who clubbed the woman. And virtually no one would blame the officer. Or community members who acted as vigilantes, for that matter in real time to stop the threat. So it's a 99% support issue. Yet, here we are in 2025 in the Occupied West Bank with the US Ambassador and members of the US Congress supporting these acts of terror. The framing is changing but that needs to happen much faster.
And this is you taking place in this disgust and inhumane terror by barbaric ‘humans’ … everyday reality to the Palestinians. Heartbreaking to watch and get me so angry and sad. No ine is protecting them. The IDF is dangerous and terrorizing as well. So when and how can we make a change to do right to the people …
We need people like u you and others that are there to make awareness and send the message into the world. I thank you for doing that !!
Everyone needs to get on the streets like they are in Europe, demand that our governments stop arming and funding Israel and do the same on a personal level. If everyone waits for someone else to do the work, nothing gets done, BDS broke the apartheid system in South Africa, it can do the same for the Palestinians.
I cannot express the disgust and horror I feel as I watch this. Your blow by blow (literally) reporting here should be a warning for even darker days ahead.
You'd think at this stage we wouldn't be shocked, but it's unreal what they do and get away with. Shocked but not surprised. And the injustice drives me insane.
Israel will claim the settlers were defending their olives or some nonsense and the media will spew it out.
This is disgusting… this is absolutely indefensible. To think if any of these Palestinians were to cast a single stone or blow in defense, they would be labeled terrorists.

And these things claim to be human...... if so, they are the worst of the worst!
What a nightmare. Israel has lost its way. As a Jew and human being I am embarrassed and horrified.
What you are doing is so brave and important for documenting the reality in the West Bank but I hope for your safety.
Please take care of yourself.
Love, Sandy

Unfortunately, this incident is not unique.
Thank you for documenting. Glad you’re safe. What the fuck.
Blood boiling watching this. Disgusting society they have there. State sanctioned terrorism.
But are YOU doing anything about it, BDS broke the apartheid system in South Africa, it can do the same for the Palestinians.

Thank you for documenting and for your courage. Praying for you and everyone else harmed today. No words for this level of depravity.
thank you for this important coverage and for your courage
bravo J!

Actually, the police wouldn't use deadly force in any other country... the US police are particularly violent and lethal.
Many police forces, particularly in the US, are trained in Israel, or by Israeli police, how would you expect them to act?
Thank you for what you do. Just became a paying subscriber.
Thank you for your amazing courage! Just unbelievable...

Thx for your courage and dedication to truth. The Majority Report was jamming.
So disturbing!
