AT-TUWANI BLOG: Running for their lives
by Sam Nichols
A panting child arrives at our door, trying to explain what has happened. Because of the language barrier, I struggle to gather the gist of the story. I understand the settlers have done something to the sheep, so we grab our cameras and head out the door. While walking, I continue to get the details of what has happened.
It’s not a new story—something similar happens every week in this village—but it still grips you with the force of something novel. Masked settlers had come charging out of the bushes. Running towards the Palestinian shepherds and sheep, they smacked the sheep with large sticks and threw large stones at the sheep. The Palestinians, two brothers in elementary school, literally ran for their lives.
A few weeks ago, settlers captured these two boys, took them into the confines of the settlement, and beat them with fists and sticks. (See http://www.cpt.org/cptnet/2009/04/05/tuwani-masked-settlers-beat-three-palestinian-children-shoot-palestinian-shepherds.)

In the film, “In the Spider’s Web”, an Israeli soldier threatens to kill a donkey if it’s seen at the checkpoint again. It appears that slaughtering donkeys is a regular form of amusement for the sociopaths.
Killed by Israeli sociopaths
On November 15, 2008, 15 Israeli settlers from Havot Maon attacked three Palestinian shepherds and two CPTers accompanying them. During the attack, they hit the internationals with rocks, killed a donkey, and cut the throat of a second donkey.
