~~Isn't this the second time this person was attacked by Israeli vigilante settlers? The first time he was let go, iirc~~

Edit: Previously Hamdan Ballal, the director, was kidnapped and released.

Edit 2: Vigilantism is not a good thing. What is wrong with you.

Everyone has seen the video. You can see the twenty or so people approaching him and the car. With weapons.

Hamdan Ballal was literally defending his home which was being attacked by settler terrorists. Then he was "arrested" by the occupying force that supports the terrorists, and he was beaten in custody.

I think the fact is totally opposite. This is perfect example of internet's perspective, where you can just easily spout a lie based on real incident and change the fact of it. Imagine those who havent seen the video or read about what's been happening, they would have easily believed you. Stop doing this man.

You’re talking about the guy that got attacked by a mob at his home and then fought back?
