"The attack began when a large group of settlers targeted dozens of #Palestinians attempting to access their land between the villages of Sinjil and al-Mazra'a al-Sharqiya, east of Ramallah.

Such assaults have become a regular occurrence, taking place almost every Friday, as part of efforts to intimidate villagers and drive them off land targeted for settlement."

"'Musalat owned a home in the area and died trying to defend it' - *Abdul Samad Abdul Aziz, al-Mazra'a al-Sharqiya municipality member*"

A sizable minority of Palestinians are Christians, a sizable minority of Israeli settlers are atheists, a sizable plurality of Zionists around the world are Evangelicals. This isn’t a cut-and-dry sectarian conflict.
