it's very under reported relative to the Hamas horrors, the IDF in Gaza, etc.

Im glad to see this getting some attention on the BBC at last. The plight of West Bank Palestinians has somewhat faded into the background, given the barbarity in Gaza but they too have been suffering violence and terror from Israel.

A Christian village was targeted recently.

I didn't even read your article. Sorry OP. IMO the BBC is notoriously left wing, I know people that flilm there, have been as a guest to the Green Room etc. It is a shame we as a country do not have a news service that was less left wing, and yes I do resent having to pay a TV licence as I have lived in other countries where state media is openly funded through general taxation, never heard of a TV licence before the UK. I honestly think the whole business with Israel is a bit odd, the best intelligence in the world did not forsee an attack, the tunnels under UN offices in Gaza. It is such a mess and I can only hope things calm down a bit like they did with the IRA, although I wouldn't call them a dead horse.
