If you want to know what the face of evil looks like: look no further than 1:35, when the Israeli woman croons “sharmoota” (whore in Arabic) to the Palestinian mother in front of her children.

I don’t mean this as hyperbole. I genuinely felt sick after watching this. 

This video pisses me off every time I watch it

The worst thing is, this isn’t some isolated incident with a few rambunctious settlers, but rather the daily life for those living near settlers, among settlers, or who are being attacked by settlers.

I know it’s bad to generalize people, but I have yet to EVERY witness a settler who wasn’t filled with this kind of evil hatred, who was anything less than a radical in the most extreme sense of the word, and it’s just sickening that they get away with literally everything they do.

After burning all the trees on my aunts land and she took the issue to court, they hauled in the settlers who had claimed responsibility for attack, and you know what happened in this Israeli “court of law”?

The Jury began to clap and cheer and the settlers walked in and chanted “sharmoota” [whore], “Goyim” [a religious word for Jews which I believe means ‘lesser being’, someone can explain if I’m not completely right with that one] and other various slanders.

What was the ruling? They were forced to pay my aunt 100 shekels, which is about $30, and the settlers were let go.

You know what the best part is? She never even got the 100 shekels.

Just chiming in to say that goyim is a modern Hewbrew/Yiddish word- the actual plural of ‘goy’ (as opposed to the Yinglish ‘goys’), which means ‘non-Jew’. Like most words that boil down to ‘not-like-me’, how insulting it is depends on the context (how much power the speaker has over the other person/other person’s people, and how they view the other person, largely).

So, in this context, that’s pretty damn insulting, and ‘lesser being’ is certainly true to the sentiment, if not dictionary definition.

(There is a religious use of the word ‘goy’, but then it means ‘nation’ (or more accurately ‘a homogenous socio-linguistic group’), rather than ‘lesser being’.)
