As a person that has lived in Judea for seven years I can assure you that settler children are taught to respect life. The "extreamism" of the youth is a result of lack of law with in the arab sectors. Since the palistinians can steal with out the police getting involves, and even trough rocks at vehicle (i know of an infant that died as a result) with little leagal repercussion, the youth feel that it is thier duty to protect other Jews in the area. Clemency is even given to the most henous of arab criminals while israeli youth are tourchered for peaceful protest against goverment policy. Do the math. If Palistinians get thier way through violence, does that not encourage settler violence?
ps- settler parents heavily condem random acts of violence against arabs |
