While the diplomats haggle, deadly tensions are mounting in the nascent Palestine

The search for a Palestinian state in the UN has exacerbated a climate of fear in the land in the West Bank

settlers came down the hill from the base, mostly on foot, but sometimes on horseback or tractor or 4x4. Flags of Israel and sometimes carry guns, shovels and dogs. There may be three or even 40. What taunt local villagers, and sometimes attack them. Often, the Israeli army arrives and trains its guns against the villagers.

In Qusra, deep in the hills on the terraces of the West Bank, fear grows. "The settlers are constantly cause us," said Hani Abu Reid, chief of the village council. "They started olive trees, killing sheep, burning our mosques and the curse of our prophet. They want to drag us into the field of violence. I do not want to go. "

that the search for a Palestinian state promises to be mired in diplomacy behind the scenes for weeks or months, the tension on the ground is mounting. The two Jewish settlers and Palestinian villagers say he is responsible for an increase in attacks during the last fortnight, particularly small incidents like stone throwing, petrol bombs and insults. Both sides claim the other is preparing to invade their communities and the attack on his people.

Without progress, press the Palestinians to vote in the Security Council, a decision of the United States has promised to veto. The Palestinians have the opportunity to request the Assembly to 193 members in general to improve the condition, although short of a complete state. As this process inches, anger in the field is growing.

Friday, violence between the outpost settlers Esh Kodesh and about 300 inhabitants Qusra ended in a cloud of tear gas and bullets fired on the villagers by Israeli troops, two of which reached Issam Odeh, 33, killed the father figure of eight.

in the hills, the preparations for the fighting were also conducted for weeks. Safety around the settlements and outposts were strengthened with barbed wire additional closed-circuit cameras, security guards and dogs. And the settlers themselves are armed and prepared in anticipation of what they believe is the intention to rob the Palestinians in the manufacture of state expected for a reality on the ground.

News site. " But we must remember that the best defense is attack. We can not be close to our fence. If the Arabs can not come to us, must learn that we can not reach them. "

The settlers believe that Israeli soldiers will be hampered by restrictions imposed by the commanders fear the negative publicity. "They do not get the right orders," said the radical activist Itamar Ben-Gvir of Qiryat Arba. "No state in the world that allows the enemy to cross their lines and go in their communities. If the army does properly, we must defend ourselves. "
women and children participate in a defensive action, he said. "We want to make an equation. Women against women, children against children, the Arabs intend to use their children and who will not stand still. "
