"The women are outdoing us in education. And not by a little, either, but by a lot. "

Well duh. Why do you think I went back to school? Willie Sutton said it the best...

Illegal Jewish Settler Attacks Against Palestinians


Israeli Figures: Settler Attacks Against Palestinians Rises by 52 Percent

GAZA, May 8, 2005 The latest figures released by the Israeli army revealed that Israeli settlers have notably increased their attacks against Palestinians, especially in the cities and villages located near the illegal settlements of the West Bank.

The Israeli newspaper Maariv reported that settler attacks on Palestinians soared by 52 percent, pointing out that from January to April, 2005 more than 265 cases were opened against settlers for being suspected of disturbing order and exercising violence against Palestinian civilians in different levels, compared with 174 cases against settlers opened against them between January and April, 2004.

The most recent of these assaults came from the settlers of the illegal Israeli settlement 'Qidomim', established on the lands of Kufor Qaddoum, east of Qalqilya City, where settlers poisoned the wells of the town to harm civilians and their livestock.

Asaad Eshtewi, head of Kufor Qaddoum's municipal council, called on civilians to refrain from using these wells, for they damage their livestock and crops.

"Samples were taken from the wells' water in order to analyze them and determine the type of poison used by the settlers. We also informed the [International Committee of the] Red Cross about the incident," Eshtewi said.

On Friday, May 6, 2005 an armed band of Israeli settlers attacked and wounded two civilians west of Ramallah City, near the illegal Israeli settlement 'Neveh Tzof'
