Settlers ‘chop down 30 olive trees’ in Nablus – Israelis erect flying checkpoints, arrest Palestinian
Ma’an – November 8, 2011
NABLUS — Israeli settlers chopped down more than 30 trees in Madama village south of Nablus on Monday, a local official said.
Village council head Ihab Tahseen said residents from Yitzhar settlement destroyed Palestinian-owned trees and sprayed anti-Arab slogans in Hebrew.
He urged international human rights organizations to intervene in settlers’ continuous attacks on Palestinian property.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged Jewish settlers to act with restraint on Monday after 12 were arrested for attacking Israeli police and soldiers.
Settlers are rarely arrested for violent attacks directed at Palestinians.
The Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem, which documents settler attacks in the West Bank, says: “Israeli security forces have done little to prevent settler violence or to arrest offenders.”

Abdul Abu Reeda told Ma’an soldiers detained his nephew Ayoub, 25, at a flying checkpoint between Nablus and Huwwara. Ayoub was taken to an unknown destination, his uncle added.

The Kevin Barrett-Chomsky Dispute in Historical Perspective – Last part of the series titled “9/11 and the Zionist Question”
By Prof. Tony Hall | American Herald Tribune | August 28, 2016
Amidst his litany of condemnations, Jonathan Kay reserves some of his most vicious and vitriolic attacks for Kevin Barrett. For instance Kay harshly criticizes Dr. Barrett’s published E-Mail exchange in 2008 with Prof. Chomsky. In that exchange Barrett castigates Chomsky for not going to the roots of the event that “doubled the military budget overnight, stripped Americans of their liberties and destroyed their Constitution.” The original misrepresentations of 9/11, argues Barrett, led to further “false flag attacks to trigger wars, authoritarianism and genocide.”
In Among The Truthers Kay tries to defend Chomsky against Barrett’s alleged “personal obsession” with “vilifying” the MIT academic. Kay objects particularly to Barrett’s “final salvo” in the published exchange where the Wisconsin public intellectual accuses Prof. Chomsky of having “done more to keep the 9/11 blood libel alive, and cause the murder of more than a million Muslims than any other single person.” … continue
