Birthright walk-offs get a taste of settler violence in Hebron | +972 Magazine

If the paint thrower were a Palestinian kid he’d have been shot, jailed or severely beaten but he wasn’t and the soldiers did NOTHING (ODT)

Halfway through a tour of occupied Hebron that the eight Birthright participants were taking with Israeli anti-occupation group Breaking the Silence on Monday, a settler child, who appeared to be between eight and 10 years old, threw yellow paint onto the head of tour leader Frima “Merphie” Bubis.

Bubis was shaken but required no medical attention. Eight Israeli soldiers who were present did nothing to stop or apprehend the child
