Settler boys in the street then blocked the stairs by stoning the students as they tried to come down the stairs. The students scream and run, but are blocked from every direction. Though the Israeli police and soldiers were on the scene, they did nothing

Yes the jews in Israel are behaving despicably toward the Palestinians, much the same as they were treated in Auschwitz, but this kind of news never becomes mainstream ...you only hear 'what terrorists' the Palestinians are. It is finally beginning to be exposed.

Gee, Dave, I guess you grew up in a sheltered childhood. Bullies were the bane of my existence. Most of them were Irish and Italian-American, and yeah, they threw stones and eggs and fists, and I never made a video about it or claimed it was ethnically motivated. Of course, the atni-Jewish and Christ Killer comments were an added bonus, but I've forgiven them and moved on and I'm sure they've moved on too!
Kids do cruel things, Dave, no matter where you live--why pick on Jewish settler children only???!!!
I defend Sabbah's right to publish what he wants, but asking why and what motivates people separates paranoia from prejudice. By publishing this, I ask you the same question and why there are no videos about Arab bullies on his site.

Yes Cal , i hear you...i had prejudice in England because my last name was hispanic (still is and proud of it!)my parents came to England after the Spanish civil war, i do know about prejudice, however this is not just about throwing stones...I watched the videos, it is about displacing and stealing, bulldozing these people's homes and much much more.

Oh BTW, the Arabs don't get chance to bully anyone! In fact if it were Arab kids doing this they would be shot by the soldiers. You need to watch the video.

Anita, my lunatic computer froze, as I fully intended to watch the video before anything. No doubt kids feed off of the examples that adults set and definitely the case here as it is when anyone is persecuted. I guess the unfortuante universal nature of this still requires that I ask what motivates this particular videoand not one of Serbian kids bullying Muslims in Kosovo and why this type of behavior should be inferred to be unique toIsraeli Jews in the occupied territories. It seems very subtly underhanded to imply that Israeli Jews are any worse than others in different places whose kids bully others, don't you think?
