A small group of settlers attacked a delegation of British diplomats during a visit to the West Bank city of Hebron on Thursday, the British Consulate said.
The consulate in Jerusalem said the diplomats were attacked while touring the area in an armored car. None were injured.
A Palestinian security official in the city said one of the settlers kicked the car after trying to open one of its doors.
...The British diplomats were taking part in a tour by a group called "Breaking the Silence." Tours by the group, led by former Israeli soldiers, are often attacked by some settlers who see them as siding with the Palestinians.
The British consulate said Israel Police forces intervened after the attack and an investigation was under way. The Israeli government had no immediate comment.
First off, of course I do not condone any unprovoked illegal violence (and think these acts stupid, unhelpful, immoral and plain childish).
Second, I see that the Brits now talk to everyone.
Third, if they wanted a tour, I am sure I could have arranged something better.
