NAZARETH, (PIC)– The Arab member of the Israeli parliament Dr. Afo Eghbariye has accused the Israeli government of backing Jewish settlers in their attacks against Palestinians and their property.
Eghbariye said in a press release on Wednesday that the Netanyahu government was showing off its evacuation of Ulpana settlement outpost, built on Palestinian private land, while covertly supporting settlers to launch the so-called “Price Tag” attacks.
He said that the attacks, which included destroying cultivated land, burning mosques, and desecrating graves, were even launched in 1948 occupied Palestine.
The MP said that the settler gangs were assaulting Palestinians under the very eyes of the Israeli troops.
He said that the soldiers themselves attack Palestinian civilians, citing the kicking and beating of a 9-year-old Palestinian boy at the hands of Israeli border guards in Al-Khalil a few days ago and the killing of a 10-year-old boy in Bilin village, and other crimes.
