On December 23rd, Beit El's "around the clock" security office was alerted to an infiltration at the security fence. Residents were told to stay in side with doors locked. A short time later IDF (Israel Defense Forces) soldiers found a deranged young man walking towards the settlement. At first the soldiers thought he was drunk, but upon investigation realized that he was suffering from a mental illness.
The boy told investigators that his family wanted him dead. He said they threatened him at gunpoint, forcing him to walk towards the settlement with the hope that soldiers would think he was trying to infiltrate the town and would shoot him. The IDF soldiers searched and caught four family members fleeing the area.
Now, for the sake of argument, imagine what would have happened if this poor young man had been shot...Yeah, the world would be coming to Israel with tar and feathers and of course cameras for their "Photo-Op", while the "family" would be wailing and gnashing their teeth at the loss of their precious child (while demanding compensation and retribution, of course). And so it goes...
