Settlers and IDF Attempt to Steal Old Village Mosque, Beit Ommar, West Bank, Palestine, 12/18/10: video
Four days prior to the shooting of this video, on December 14th, 2010, thirty Israeli Defense Force soldiers and one settler from the Karmei Tsur settlement came to the old village mosque in Beit Ommar and declared that one half of it would now be for use by settlers in their Jewish prayers. The people of the village responded that if this were to be enforced then the IDF and the settlers would have a big fight on their hands. Neither the IDF nor any settlers have returned to this mosque since. Separately, settlers have also expressed interest in another old mosque in the area. Mousa Abu Maria of the Palestine Solidarity Project walks through the Beit Ommar mosque and explains:
