When all the emotive language disolves we are left with not Jewish terrorism but Arab aggression aimed at Jews. What I write next will not be recieved well by those who choose adleheaded ideology over reality. The fact is we are at war with these interlopers and our settlers should be lionised not discredited to satisfy a political agenda based on appeasement.

Is it easy to cross into area B without realizing it? I mean it seems odd that the leaders of youngsters would deliberately lead them into danger.

Also I think it’s really sad that leaders of a hiking group have to be armed when hiking in Judea & Samaria.

By now we know Trump is transactional, opportunistic, narcissistic and mercurial. He will align with and abandon as is his whim.....still, much better than the Marxist Democrats and their moronic fellow-travelers. In a two party system, alas, there is only the GOP....

The Times of Israel describes the “hike” (which they put in quotations) very differently. Would be helpful if we could figure out the truth of what really happened.

This is the Times of Israel description https://www.timesofisrael.com/2-israelis-4-palestinians-killed-in-gunfight-sparked-by-settler-raid-of-palestinian-town/. Great respect to Amit but like Liora says it would be helpful to get to the truth.

What a false narrative! The settlers (hikers??? Who is hiking at 95 f at nothing-to-see view?) want to escalate fights at the west bank in order to get more voters at the coming elections)

I would otherwise agree except for the presence of children. Usually those who expect to commit (and provoke) violence do not bring their children along. I actually cannot recall a similar episode.

According to the IDF, armed settlers entered to A zone without permission or knowledge of the army. No hike, no kids
