Israel’s West Bank settlers have been ratcheting up their violence, defying their own government and flouting international public opinion.
But on Monday a settler group tried another tack — wooing foreign journalists with a bus tour featuring a glass of merlot and a visit to a home overlooking the site where the biblical Israelites housed Moses’ stone tablets.
“Here you see the miracles and the prophecies actualized in front of you,” said settler Tamar Yonah Feld, portraying Jewish settlement in the West Bank as a fulfillment of God’s will.
