7 Palestinians wounded in reprisal rampage by settlers
2 Israelis, 4 Palestinians killed in gunfight sparked by settler raid of Palestinian town
My comments:
"7 Palestinians wounded in reprisal rampage by settlers"
What a misleading lead into the headline!!!
7 Palestinians wounded???? How about mentioning Palestinian terrorists were neutralized after they murdered an Israeli security officer and IDF Soldier who restrained themselves when they and a group of hikers were threatened.
"Reprisal rampage"
A blatant lie!!! Apparently Jews need to be like sheep, restrain themselves and then allow the Arabs to murder them with no deterrence
"Two Israelis and four Palestinians were killed on Friday after a Palestinian snatched a weapon from a group of settlers who had raided a northern West Bank village and opened fire, leading to fears of reprisal attacks throughout the territory."
"Israelis"? Actually an armed Security officer and IDF Soldier
"Killed"? Actually murdered in a terror attack when they, the Israeli Security officer and the IDF soldier restrained shooting at the threatening Arab mob.
Wow! An Israeli paper literally shooting Jews with their bias against Settlers!
Here is the more accurate reporting of what happened from Israel Breaking News.
"A Palestinian Arab terrorist seized a local security coordinator’s weapon and opened fire on Israeli hikers near Havat Gilad in Samaria on Friday morning, killing a 30-year-old man and wounding two others (one seriously and one moderately).
The attack occurred during a pre-coordinated hike from Har Bracha toward Havat Gilad and Kedumim, when Palestinian Arabs gathered around the hikers, leading to a confrontation in which the weapon was stolen and used. Security forces responded by neutralizing four terrorists and injuring three others, while pursuing remaining suspects, imposing a cordon on Nablus and the village of Tal, and evacuating the wounded by helicopter. Israeli officials, including Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, condemned the attack and called for a strong response to restore deterrence.'

Basically, an Israel Security Officer Beneyahu Melet הי"ד and an IDF soldier Yuval Ezra הי"ד were murdered by a Palestinian Sheikh Terrorist after he snatched the gun away from the security officer that restrained himself together with the IDF from shooting at the violent Arab mob threatening a group of Jewish Hikers. Unfortunately the IDF failed to effectively preempt to prevent this tragic attack. These officers came to protect the group of Israeli hikers but instead were tragically murdered.
TOI slanted version:
"Essam Saifi, a local leader in the Palestinian Fatah party from Tell, told Reuters in a phone call that about 25 to 30 settlers initially attacked the eastern area of Tell and tried to break into two houses there."
I suppose when TOI chooses to believe the PA Fatah leader and Reuters over the Jewish narrative. Settlers are in big trouble.
These Jews were Hiking!!! Not attacking Tell! They were NOT raiding an Arab Village. These Jews Did NOT open fire because if they did the Shiekh would have died and not them because he would have been unable to snatch their gun away. These are blatant Lies !!!!!

Elisha Yered: Distorted Reporting by News Channel Kan 11 to Slander the Settlers
My comments:
Slanted reporting of Kan 11 and Times of Israel
July 23, 2026 1:23pm
Tensions in Judea and Samaria: Palestinian family expelled from home by Jewish rioters. IDF: Working to allow them to return | @HGoldich reports
Here is a link to Golditch's article regarding a terror attack in Samaria and the fire a few hours later. Maybe he saw what Elisha Yered posted. But still you can see his slant.

A day of terror in Samaria: Two stabbing attacks within a few hours
"Within hours - two attacks in Samaria: A soldier was stabbed at an IDF post and slightly injured, earlier a man was stabbed and seriously injured while trying to put out a fire that broke out on a farm. The Samaria Council claims that those who started the fire were Palestinians from a village in the area, but the cause of the fire has not yet been officially determined."
To be fair, Chaim Golditch, the Kan 11 journalist, to his credit did report the latest terror attack on Jewish Settlers near Itamar even though he totally ignored previous terror attacks near Aish Kodesh while seeing appropriate to write an article about an Arab family feeling harassed by Jewish Settlers.
He did note in this later article that while the Samaria Council claims that those who started the fire were Palestinians from a village in the area, Golditch was careful to note that the cause of the fire has not yet been officially determined. (Apparently, the Palestinian Authority’s official WAFA news agency alleged the fire that threatened the Jews was started by Israeli settlers from the area. Wafa is a "credible" source. Golditch's perspective of the Samaria Council is that it isn't "official" enough...
(Perhaps fires like what happened in Havat Gilad that destroyed 13,14 houses and industrial business and caused extensive damage to the Village and could have spread much further if it wasn't stopped, are started from a cigarette butt thrown accidentally on Shabbat by someone... My sarcastic comment).
From here we see how important it is to hold journalists accountable if they report Settler Violence out of context.
The same event reported in Times of Israel is also problematic.
One of the attackers identified as Palestinian Authority cop
2 Israelis hurt in separate stabbings in West Bank; 3 Palestinian attackers killed
To the credit of Times of Israel they did note that the attacker was a Palestinian Authority Cop. Yes, it is pretty worrisome that Israel allows hostile trained and armed Palestinian Authority police, potential terrorists, to provide "Security" under Israel's watch in Judea and Samaria.
However, the article concludes...
"...The same period has also seen a major surge in attacks by settler extremists on Palestinians and their property across the West Bank. The IDF recorded 867 incidents of nationalistic crime and settler violence in 2025. The total for 2024 was 682 incidents."
There is apparently pressure on News channels to be "fair" in their reporting...
Well then they should tell the other side, a surge in attacks on Jewish Settlers in 2026 and Jewish property by the Palestinians!
Regavim, Elisha Yered of Hilltop News and Elchonon Groner of haKol Hayehudi have exposed the Blood Libel of "Settler Violence".
Times of Israel and the IDF should be held accountable to report the context of the "Nationalistic crimes and Settler Violence". Regavim and the Hilltop Settlers tell the opposite story with high statistics of a tremendous surge of terror attacks in 2026, thefts and arsons against Settlers by Palestinians! Jews, the victims, with coordination with the IDF, have in fact defended themselves and their property. Yet the statistics of "Settler Violence" include these acts of self defense by Settlers and includes IDF involvement as "Settler Violence" when they are rather the victims of Arab violence or fighting or deterring it. Such Settlers have gotten arrested or have received outrageous draconian illegal administrative detention orders when they are actually defending themselves and their property. The Central
Command under Bluth and Police have enforced unjust Settler arrests and enforced draconian and apparently illegal detention orders with no heart. Settlers are denied basic civil rights often with no charges or any evidence of wrongdoing provided, based on the say so of the Jewish Division of Terror. Settler homes are demolished often by hired Arabs workers who are implementing orders by the Central command, and Jewish women and children are woken up in the middle of the night and thrown out of their homes seeing their homes demolished. Demolitions often happen before Shabbat or Chag.
There is selective prosecution of Police that is biased against Settlers in favor of Arabs. There is plenty of illegal Arab buildings that are not demolished.
That is the Truth of "Settler Violence" a false narrative, a blood libel to serve a political agenda to push the 2 State Solution Narrative.
Bottom line is that there is no real deterrence against the real villain, Arab Terror.
