ADL condemns settler attacks on Palestinians, property

By ELANA KIRSH
The Anti-Defamation League has condemned recent West Bank settlers attacks on Palestinians and their property. In a statement issued Sunday, the ADL called the violence "deeply troubling and unacceptable," and "are a direct assault on the rule of law and only serve to undermine Israel's democratic institutions." The statement also commented on "reports that some of the Jewish extremists wrapped themselves in the imagery of the Holocaust by sewing yellow Stars of David into their clothing and shouting "Nazi" at Israeli soldiers," calling such acts "outrageous and cynical abuse of history."
