News Brief

(IsraelNN.com) Leftists have been the primary agitators against Jewish farmers in Judea and Samaria, causing thousands of dollars in damage and are generally left untouched by police, according to an investigation by the human rights group for Judea and Samaria. Moshe Deutsch, a farmer from Susia, in the southern Hevron Hills, told Voice of Israel government radio Tuesday morning that Arabs usually stay in the background or do not appear at all while leftists take apart fences, threaten, curse and uproot plants. "Go back to Poland," the leftists have yelled at Jews, he said.

A newspaper report confirmed complaints by Jews that the police have not interrogated or arrested agitators and that the government has not compensated the farmers for property losses. Leftists have uprooted thousands of saplings and overrun property in Judea and Samaria in the past several months.
