THE NEWS GUYS GIVE US >> "SETTLERS ATTACK ......... blah blah blah"
HOWEVER HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED TO A KNESSET HOPEFUL ON THIS TOUR:
Near the Palestinian village of Turmus Ayya, dozens of rioters attacked our delegation, hurling rocks at their vehicles and attempting to block their passage.
WE Came to See the Truth
We Nearly Didn't Make It Home.
Dear Friends,
They came to see the truth. They were met with rocks.
Today, a delegation of international pro-Israel influencers joined Regavim on a special fact-finding tour of Judea and Samaria.
They came to see the reality on the ground with their own eyes, to challenge the narratives dominating international headlines, and to share what they learned with millions of people around the world
Instead, they found themselves under attack.
Near the Palestinian village of Turmus Ayya, dozens of rioters attacked our delegation, hurling rocks at their vehicles and attempting to block their passage.
A windshield was shattered. One participant was injured. And what should have been an educational tour became a terrifying fight to escape.

“If our driver hadn’t told us to lower our heads, I don’t know where we would be today. He saved our lives.”
Those are the words of Cindy Seni, one of the influencers injured in the attack.
Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, another participant, described the experience:
“It was horrifying to be attacked by a group of terrorists for the mere fact that we were there. This is the reality that the residents of Judea and Samaria experience on a daily basis.”
And that is precisely why we brought them there.
For years, Regavim has worked to expose the facts that too often disappear from international reporting about Judea and Samaria.
We investigate illegal construction, document environmental destruction, expose the Palestinian Authority's efforts to establish a de facto state, and challenge the deeply flawed narratives that influence international policy toward Israel.
One of the central issues our delegation came to examine was the international campaign surrounding allegations of "settler violence," a narrative that has fueled sanctions and condemnation of Israel.

But today, our guests experienced a reality that rarely makes international headlines.
They saw the violence firsthand. They experienced the fear. And they witnessed the danger that residents and travelers in Judea and Samaria face.
They came to document the story. They became part of it.
We are profoundly grateful that our guests and team members escaped without more serious injuries, and to the Israeli security forces who responded to the attack.
But we refuse to let violence and intimidation dictate what the world is allowed to see.
We will not stop.
We will continue bringing journalists, influencers and decision-makers into the field.
We will continue investigating, documenting and exposing the facts.
And we will continue making sure that the voices and experiences so often left out of the international conversation are heard.
