Trial by Social Media

In his Facebook post from two weeks ago, Meir Baruchin, the civics teacher who was fired for bringing his personal politics into the classroom, shows his disdain for Israel in a post related to the olive harvest going on in the months of October and November. The English translation of his post is below:

Shabbat entertainment for settlers. Assaulting farmers during the olive harvest in Turmus Aya, north of Ramallah. Along the way, also burning cars and destroying property. You ask what our excellent boys are doing? Well, they don't actually turn a blind eye. They are concerned with protecting the rioting settlers. If the Palestinians will dare to protest, they will be arrested immediately. #Nakba

Video footage shows that several Israeli soldiers were present during the attack, but none of them stopped or detained the settler. The organization's employee was evacuated to the hospital with light wounds and was released shortly thereafter. Director of Rabbis for Human Rights Avi Dabush said that “the attack on harvesters today joins the series of attacks on an almost daily basis by Jewish terrorists, sometimes against Palestinian farmers and their property, sometimes against activists who come to help the farmers, and sometimes against the army itself." Two years ago, masked assailants attacked Rabbi Moshe Yehudai, an activist in his 80s, with iron bars during the olive harvest at Burin village nearby. He was evacuated to the hospital with fractures in his arm. Last week, settlers sprayed an officer, a soldier and a Palestinian near the settlement of Adei Ad. Some two weeks ago, Palestinians harvesting near the village of Yasuf were pelted with rocks and a woman was attacked with pepper spray.

היום פעילי רבנים לזכויות אדם הותקפו על ידי מתנחלים מההתנחלות איתמר, בשעה שסייעו במסיק בזיתים לחקלאים הפלסטינים בכפר עווארתה בשטחים הכבושים

התוקפים הגיעו ברגל ועל גבי טרקטורונים, וריססו בגז פלפל את המתנדבים. מהתקיפה נפגע אחד מעובדי הארגון, שנזקק לטיפול רפואי. pic.twitter.com/DoUtFat9aM — Yanal Jabarin | ينال جبارين (@JbareenYanal) October 25, 2021
