A crazed, illegal Israeli settler destroyed 150 dunums of Palestinian land early Friday morning. The illegal settler destroyed 10 dunums through his own hands and the rest he flattened with a bulldozer.

Hebron settlers attempted to burn down a house with 20 Palestinian trapped inside. Jewish settlers-onlookers encouraged them.

The settler is from the illegal outpost of Efrat on the West Bank near Bethlehem. The illegal settlement is made up of mostly religious Zionists, including a large population of Orthodox Jews who migrated from the United States. Like Hebron’s settlers, these occupying settlers are motivated by a messianic view of the land and with a violent zealotry against the Palestinians. Imagine a man who gets up in the morning to destroy the farm property. This is Zionism, pure and simple.

The thuggish settler destroyed almond trees and grapes vines that supported the livelihood of several families.

Illegal Israeli settlers routinely destroy Palestinian land and often threaten Palestinian farmers in the hopes of rendering land use impossible for them so then the illegal settlers can take over them.

The Palestinian families - all of whom are part of the al-Khader family - plan to sue the man in Israeli courts. The illegal settlers will probably be made to pay $5 and serve two hours house arrest under Israel’s sham courts.
