Israeli settlers beat Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine and a group of Palestinians during an attack on an olive grove harvest on Friday. Levine’s colleagues found her lying on her side during the attack in the illegally occupied West Bank. She struggled to run as the settlers, armed with slingshots and gas canisters, chased after her team. “I had my camera bag and my pouch with my passport, and my telephone was on a rope around my neck and they broke that off me, and they broke my cameras off me, and they broke my bag, and they kept kicking me,” Levine said later in a video statement. “I don’t know how a parent can raise such a monster. They’re not even humans, and yes, they are Jewish terrorists,” Levine added. “And you know what? Sadly, none of them will be prosecuted. I am sure of it.” Levine was wearing clothing that clearly identified her as a journalist. She was taken to the Ramallah Government Hospital and is now in a stable condition, the Foreign Press Association said. The Palestine Red Crescent Society said it was treating a 63-year-old Palestinian woman and a 40-year old man who were also beaten by settlers.
