Related: About this forum'Price tag' attackers hit West Bank town of Yasouf for second time
http://972mag.com/price-tag-attackers-hit-west-bank-town-of-yasouf-for-second-time/66315/With the active and passive support of the IDF, Shin Bet and police, the terrorists have already won by continuing their attacks with impunity.
Yesterday morning a price tag pogrom took place in the Palestinian village of Yasouf. If the name Yasouf is vaguely familiar to you, its probably because in 2009 it became the target of the most famous price tag attack: the burning of its mosque. Its worth mentioning the response of the Shomron local settler council at the time (Hebrew): it called the attack an act of madmen or a provocation, piously adding that it hoped the police would find those responsible. That was two years before Shahar Ginossar wrote in an investigative report for Yedioth Ahronot that the Shomron local council created the price tag policy, and even funded it. The price tag people are the military arm of the settlement establishment, the hoodlums who are used when violence and plausible deniability are necessary. Price tag attacks have become so common that theyre barely reported; they used to make headlines, but the attack in Yasouf yesterday was barely worthy of a newsflash.

Some truths must remain hidden and not discussed.

Not an easy task considering how prolific he is.

(12,606 posts)4. I post to articles as I have stated in the past.
Read them or ignore them, Oberliner. It's your choice.
Have a nice day.

He is a perfect illustration of a particular POV - frequently almost bordering on unintentional self-parody. It's hard to believe that anyone would post his material un-ironically, but here we are.

But people like us who post across a wide spectrum of sources ought to condemn those who post almost exclusively from one or two blog sites.
I hope I can recruit you to this cause.

Even attempts to ward them off by either posting a one-line This Source Sucks Ha Ha Ha! diversion attempt, or posting and trying to change the topic to some evil carried out by Arabs doesn't give the user any immunity.//
