Earlier today, #Israeli #settlers attacked #Palestinian civilians and #journalists in Masafer #Yatta, in the South #Hebron Hills, during a demonstration in support of the Mur family in Tawamin.
The #settlers, who brought attack dogs with them, confronted #nonviolent protesters and those there to document them.
Since the attack against the Mur family, the family and those standing in #solidarity with them have faced countless threats against demonstrating and publicizing what is happening in South #Hebron.
If you really want to make a change in the world, do something hard like #nonviolent #resistance. Read up and learn #satyagraha or change. It takes #strength & #courage; physical force is forbidden even in the so-called most favorable circumstances.

My personal justification for it is #psychological/#neurological (#CNS/#HPA).
If you use #violence, well the one with the biggest #ego or the biggest ego-extension (guns, tanks, war) will win.
