Settlers beating journalists on camera? Netanyahu says don't believe your eyes

Photographer Heidi Levine, a Washington Post journalist, was brutally assaulted by Jewish settlers in the West Bank during the olive harvest season. Levine suffered severe injuries, including broken vertebrae and stab wounds, leading her to express anger and insult towards Israel's military for allegedly protecting settlers over Palestinians.

Despite several vertebrae being broken, Levine remained optimistic about her recovery. The attack occurred alongside an incident involving European diplomats in a Christian village, further emphasizing the pervasive violence against Palestinians by settlers. Levine criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for downplaying the attack, referring to it as "alleged" and lacking concrete evidence.

However, she received support from Israel's president, Isaac Herzog, former security and intelligence officials, and the U.S. ambassador, Mike Huckabee. A letter signed by over a dozen former officials condemned the violence and vowed that fundamental policy changes were necessary to address the disgraceful incidents. Levine expressed her determination to continue documenting the increasing violence, emphasizing the need for accountability and justice for the victims.
