Were there briefings about what happens if a settler sets fire to an olive tree grove, about what you need to do?Settlers are citizens of Israel, the border police is a [civilian] police force, and they take care of them, we don’t deal with the settlers at all.

If a Palestinian throws stones at a settler and a settler throws stones at a Palestinian, what are you supposed to do? Protect the settler. No question. It’s so obvious that nobody has to say it. I’ve never heard of a single case where the IDF arrested a settler, unless they got a special order. If here, everything is imagined in one way, over there everything is imagined in a different way. Anybody who’s an Arab – you view him as an enemy. You are part of an army that’s meant to defend the settlers, and you defend them from the Arabs. This division is very clear.
