Israeli Settlers Clash With Hassan and Activists on His Land

What are you?

Oh, I'm a, an American journalist.

Oh.

Television.

And you in, uh, with Hamas?

No.

He really got into it with Hassan.

Head-butting him in the face. Oh, they're really hurting people

now.

Yes.

Hassan shouted back, "This is my land and you won't

stay. These are my roots."

Then-

Wrestling

... he got bashed again,

this time fracturing his nose.

Hassan and the activists decided it was time to retreat,

but the settlers blocked them.

Are all your people out?

No. No, no. There is still two.

Still two?

Yeah.

Just as things were getting out of hand-

Everyone come here

...

a captain in the Israeli army turned up, seemingly out of

nowhere. The soldiers had to go down the road to

rescue

the last two activists, and then he told all of us to

clear out. But are you gonna let the boys go back

there?

They're going to go back to where they are?

That's-

From up here.

So Hassan was kicked off his own property.

The Jewish youth got to stay.

The army's priority is the settlers.

Some soldiers are settlers themselves and

occasionally join the violence.

Though there have also been cases where the soldiers have been attacked

by the young settlers.
