Statement summary
David Sanger criticizes what he describes as settlers' impunity and evidence that Israeli forces have failed to respond adequately to attacks.
“the degree of impunity that the settlers seem to have in doing these attacks, far greater attacks than we've seen before on Western press, on Israeli press, but on so many others. And then considerable evidence that the Israeli Defense Forces when called have not done very much in many of these cases. That's really the remarkable part of all of this.”
Washington Post photographer Heidi Levine was beaten during an attack on olive harvesters near Abu Falah on October 16. Witnesses blamed masked settlers. Netanyahu's office called the facts unclear, and the Post's editor said key facts are not in dispute.
