A staged incident involving a delegation from the European Union, allegedly attacked by Jewish youth groups while attempting to document alleged Israeli violence against Palestinians, has sparked controversy. The article claims the incident, which occurred near the last Christian village in Samaria, was meticulously planned and filmed to portray Israeli settlers negatively. The delegation was reportedly there to draw international attention to the plight of Palestinians, with the settlers accused of attempting to steal harvested olives.
The article suggests the timing and location were chosen for maximum propaganda effect, coinciding with similar incidents and aiming to exacerbate negative international perceptions of Israel. It highlights the emigration of Christians from Palestinian territories, attributing it to pressure from Muslim neighbors rather than Israeli actions, and notes that this demographic is generally more moderate and less hostile to Israel.
The author posits that the incident, along with a prior one involving a Washington Post photographer, was a deliberate provocation designed to elicit international sanctions against Israel. The EU delegation's visit, occurring the day after the photographer's alleged assault, is described as a continuation of this strategy, with a French mayor reportedly feigning injury for the cameras.
The core of the article's argument is that Israeli authorities could have easily prevented this staged event by simply barring the youth groups from the location. The author questions why this was not done, suggesting two possibilities: either Israeli agencies failed to perform their duties, or they were complicit in allowing the incident to occur. The article speculates that elements within the Prime Minister's office, potentially influenced by Qatar, may have had an interest in facilitating the negative publicity, possibly to weaken rivals like Minister Ben-Gvir ahead of elections.
