A [Popular Struggle Coordination] committee spokesman, Israeli activist Jonathan Pollak, said that the army’s actions to prevent the Palestinians from holding their press conference at the spring even as settlers were allowed to sit there, illustrated the need for the patrol.
“The IDF cannot be relied on to defend and protect Palestinians against settler attack,” said Pollak. “It leaves us no choice but for the Palestinians to protect themselves. The purpose of the project is to quickly respond to incidents of settler attacks, to document them and to try and prevent them,” he said.
