Ameer Tlaib told LRC reporter:
“The village is surrounded by Palestinian villages from all sides , but settlers gangs were able to enter the village and cause chaos, before they withdrew at 3:00 am as it is shown in security cameras”.
During the recent months LRC documented tens of attacks carried out by the Price tag gang in the Palestinian suburbs especially in Nablus, Ramallah , Salfit and Qalqilya suburbs , such attacks occur in the eyesight of the occupation forces who do nothing to stop them.
The price tag gang is a terrorist group related to the Zionist right wing parties that carry out organized attacks in west bank , Jerusalem and the occupied territories of 1948 under the protection of the occupation army , their attacks are mostly slashing car tires, throwing stones and writing hatred inciting slogans. Such attacks are motivated by a racist terrorist mentality . Their most popular slogan is “A good Arab is a Dead Arab” , which reflects their radical mentalities, the price tag group is formed of students of seminaries aged between 18-23 . The price tag gang appeared in 2008 and immerged from Kach movement.
