A young Israeli settler from Kiryat Arba throws stones at Palestinian homes near the disputed house in the West Bank city of Hebron on November 29, 2008. A US businessman vowed last week to fight an Israeli eviction order against a group of Jews living in a house in the West Bank city of Hebron he says he bought. The Palestinian owner of the house, however, said the sale was never completed, and an Israeli court ruled that documents provided by the settlers were forged. Hebron has long been a flashpoint because of a settler enclave of around 600 hardline Jews living in the heart of a city with more than 170,000 Palestinian residents, and a further 6,500 Israeli settlers living in Kiryat Arba on the outskirts.

This must be the most heart-rending and disturbing face of the day I’ve ever posted. My policy is to err on the side of showing everything – from the Nick Berg beheading to the worst abuse of prisoners under the Bush-Cheney interrogation policy. We need to see the evil that we unwittingly unleashed in Iraq and the evil that will doubtless take hold the minute we leave. It is part of the moral equation in deciding what must be done now. And it is not easy. As an advocate for withdrawal, I do not want to deny the moral costs it may involve.
