IDF diverts battalion from Lebanon to West Bank amid uncurbed settler attacks
The battalion from the School for Infantry Corps Professions and Squad Commanders was sent to the West Bank yesterday, and the military says it may send more troops due to the uptick in violence by Israelis against Palestinians.
The move comes amid mounting international criticism of Israel’s failure to crack down on attacks by settler extremists, which have been taking place on a near-daily basis. Critics note that Israel’s security forces can be part of the problem, sometimes either taking part in the attacks or standing by without interfering as they unfold.msn.com - Idf diverts battalion from lebanon to west bank amid uncurbed settler attacksThe IDF has a long history of looking the other way, when it's Pals being killed. We old phartz remember how the IDF invaded as far as the southern part of Beirut, then looked the other way, while a Christian militia streamed into two Pal neighborhoods, and killed everyone in sight.
From 16 to 18 September 1982, between 1,300 and 3,500 civilians—mostly Palestinians and Lebanese Shias—were killed in Beirut's Sabra neighbourhood and the adjacent Shatila refugee camp by the Lebanese Forces, one of the main Christian militias in Lebanon, with the support of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF)en.wikipedia.org - Sabra and Shatila massacreBut, we are told, it's always the Pals who are the "terrorists", and the Israelis the "innocent victims".
