HOW??? Most go unreported. WHY??? In the case of rape it’s probably because of shame with the long standing attitude of ‘blaming the victim’.
In the case of settler attacks it’s mainly because of a feeling of frustration knowing that nothing will be done about it….at least until now. In both cases it is a gross violation of the victims civil rights, to say the least.
Today Palestinians are ‘armed’ with cameras that document such attacks and send them out to the media. Perhaps if people, in the West especially, see this brutality live on film something will be done to put an end to this.
The cameras are supplied by a group known as B’Tselem, The Israeli Information Cnter for Human Rights In The Occupied Territories. They are a group definitely worth supporting in every way possible… click HERE to see how.
Here is but one example of what those cameras expose….

I wonder what it’d be called had the aggressors been German, Russian, or any other nationality?
