Israeli Settlers Attack Shepherds, Farmers South of Hebron

[Purveyor]

HEBRON, July 20, 2013 (WAFA) – Israeli settlers from the illegal settlement Mitzpe Yair south of Hebron Saturday attacked Palestinian shepherds and farmers while working in their land, said witnesses.

Farmer Said Awad told WAFA that more than 20 settlers and dozens of Israeli soldiers accompanied by inspectors of the so-called “civil administration” assaulted farmers, shepherds, activists and children harvesting crops near Yatta.

Coordinator of the Popular Committee against the Wall and Settlements in Yatta, Ratib al-Jabour, told WAFA that an Israeli court has ruled to return the confiscated land to its original Palestinian owners.

1. Crackerjack reporting from Wafa!

You really are picking some excellent sources!

Lack of byline (no one claiming to have written the article).
Lack of detail (soldiers assaulted children? can we be more specific?)
No statement from the Israeli side (or apparent attempt made to acquire one)

Usually one person making a claim of something would lead an actual news source to do some actual reporting.

But alas "Wafa" and the "Occupied Palestine" source you used do not seem to believe in that sort of pursuit.

It is almost like you just go Google searches on particular words or phrases and run with whatever comes up.

I miss the days of the sub-forum having some sort of standards regarding sources of articles posted.

2. Then either don't click on any of my posts or just cut to the chase and put me on ignore.

Besides, I do believe it was yourself that introduced me to Occupied Palestine after you posted an article from there.

4. What about them?

Those are legit stories from respectable organizations. Neither reinforce or corroborate the absurd claims of the OP.
