Kudos to the IDF

For upholding the rule of law in Hebron against settlers as well as Palestinians. Israeli settlers, an arrogant breed of people I have minimal tolerance for, often think that they are above the law. In Hebron particularly, where a tiny group of settlers controls 20% of the city (having displaced Palestinians from the historic old city), the settlers abuse soldiers with rotten fruit and rocks; they want the soldiers to be harsher on the Palestinians. Well, I'll bet the soldiers were glad to get back at the settlers, evacuating 200 of them and arresting 6 or 7 for placing an illegal outpost. Of course, the settlers will eventually get what they want, because they're noses are tougher than the State of Israel's backbone. But it's refreshing to see them at odds with the army... I'd love to see the army pull out completely and leave them to fight the Palestinians on fair terms.
