Palestinian residents of Huwara awoke to scenes of devastation on Monday after hundreds of Israeli settlers stormed the town overnight KieronMonks reports:
Israelis and Palestinians accused the Israeli army and government of allowing the settler’s revenge.
“Israel’s army knew exactly what settlers were planning in Huwara last night: it was organised publicly,” said Ben Reiff of left-wing Israeli magazineIn the aftermath of the raid, Israeli officials were split on the violence that followed. “Taking the law into one’s own hands, rioting and committing violence against innocents – this is not our way, and I express my forceful condemnation,” saidPrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised that the gunman would be caught and said: “I ask – even when the blood is boiling – not to take the law into one’s hands.”
If today’s events in Hawara are ever investigated, the first who will have to supply some answers are the local IDF commanders. This flyer “demanding revenge” and calling the settlers to march on Hawara at 18:00 was widely circulating early afternoon. The IDF just stood by.
