We rarely hear of the racist goings on in Tel Rumeida in the mainstream media. Is this because it strips away the veneer of the Israeli as the victim and the Palestinian as the agressor?

Or maybe its because for every one of these incidents, there are dozens of palestinain's murdering civilians and carrying out their own racist attacks?
When the settlers start launching homemade rockets while specifically targeting civilians, maybe then it will be newsworthy.

The Israeli army has in recent months had strict orders not to shoot at armed Jewish settlers even if they are opening fire on Palestinians, a senior commander in the paramilitary Border Police disclosed Thursday to the commission probing the Hebron massacre.

Israeli settlers in the Occupied Territories have stepped up attacks against Palestinians and are waging a campaign of intimidation against international and Israeli human rights activists. Their aim is to eliminate the presence of witnesses to their attacks, thereby depriving the local Palestinian population of this only form of limited protection.

GENEVA Mar 8, 2006 (AP)— Jewish settlers are terrorizing Palestinians with impunity, attacking children on their way to school and destroying farmers' trees and crops, a U.N. expert on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict said in a report.

Occupied Jerusalem - The Palestinian human rights watch group addressed a message to the Zionist chief investigation officer in the West Bank asking for details of the inquiry into the murder crimes committed by Jewish settlers against Palestinian citizens.
The message asked particularly about the murder crimes of 17 Palestinian civilians that took place during the Aqsa intifada that erupted in late September 2000.

Linda Gradstein could have begun her report on All Things Considered this afternoon by reporting:
"Two Israeli settlers from the Itamar settlement in the occupied West Bank were arrested today by Israeli police, for the murder of a Palestinian farmer, 28 year old Farid Nasara, who was harvesting his olive crop."
She might have gone on, "Palestinians are demanding that the two settlers be punished, and human rights groups complain that Israeli settlers who murder Palestinians often receive light punishments. in the past two weeks Israeli settlers have rampaged against Palestinians in the occupied territories, killing at least five, and in at least one case severely torturing the victim, and destroying property."

Jaacov Hayman begins with God when asked about the murder of the young Palestinian Hani Bani Minyeh as he ventured to his olive grove for the start of the annual harvest in Aqraba. But the Jewish settler with a handgun on his hip quickly gets around to justifying the shooting as an act of self-defence by the Israeli families of the Itamar settlement, perched high above the dead man's orchard.
"God gave the land of Israel to the people of Israel, and that's us," the bearded settler says. "We're not willing to see an Arab within eyesight of Itamar. They can pick olives when they don't threaten our security. Until then, they can go pick their nose."

On February 25, 1994, that year's Purim day, Goldstein entered a room in the Cave of the Patriarchs serving as a mosque, wearing "his army uniform with the insignia of rank, creating the image of a reserve officer on active duty" (Shamgar report). He then opened fire, killing 29 and wounding 150. Mosque guard Mohammad Suleiman Abu Saleh said he thought that Goldstein was trying to kill as many people as possible and described how there were bodies and blood everywhere. After being subdued with a fire extinguisher and disarmed, Goldstein was beaten to death[5].

That drunken fool going on about how "God gave this land to ME!!!" Tells me the source of the problem is pure religious dogma.
NOBODY CAN PROVE THAT GOD GAVE ANYBODY ANYTHING. Religious dogma causing people to believe that the world owes them something and that they are better than others.

While two drunken teens shouldn't represent a whole nation, you'll never see this on mainstream media,
If this was happening in YOUR COUNTRY you know damn well you'd be pissed and would want to do something about it, possibly by any means necessary specially when they've got a well equipped army and you don't.
Granted there are Israelis who are against the occupation, Rabbis Against Occupation being one group.
