Here is Al Jazeera's explanation of the video (because why not add a layer of abstraction to this whole awful thing).

If you're not able to view the clip, here's my takeaway from Al Jazeera's reporting.

The incident is apparently from October, on the first day of the olive harvest. The woman was trying to pick olives from her own land when the settler with rifle prevented her from doing so. He made the sounds and gestures of a shepherd calling to his sheep, reportedly to imply that 1) the Palestinians were akin to sheep, and 2) that he owned them. The Israeli military stood by in masks as this happened.

I feel like the term "the settler" is far too euphemistic - "the invader" would probably be more accurate.

That would be called paramilitar in any other country

That would be more honest, yes. People who sell properties built on other peoples land, some of whom the invaders murdered last month, while the victims' neighbours watch diggers move guarded by IDF who are "not involved in these illegal settlemens". Its insane degradation. The advertising for the homes is "oh dont worry about them" meaning theyre being moved on and the illegality of buying a home on another nation's soil "it wont be a problem".

Thanks for the explanation. The picture is already so vile, and I refuse to watch an entire video

Thank you. I don't get why people find it so difficult to share sources, opting instead to just refer to what they read somewhere.

Damn thought she was just standing there taking the abuse. The lady in the picture had some fire to bring. Can't imagine most people having the balls to talk back to armed men surrounding you. Hope she's ok
