yes, everyone is in a big conspiracy - the Israelis are actually the good guys here -
it's 'they' who are distorting the facts
yeah right
The US has announced sanctions against three more Israeli settlers and - for the first time - two farming outposts, as part of new measures by Washington and London to stop the violent displacement of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
Fares Samamreh may not carry a gun, but he now has a global superpower defending him. He's still losing the fight.
A Palestinian sheep farmer on the sun-tinged slopes of the South Hebron Hills in the occupied West Bank, his battle with his neighbour, an Israeli settler called Yinon Levy, has drawn both the US and the UK into the dispute.
"Yinon Levy came here three years ago and started bothering me," Fares said, his head wrapped in a piece of white cotton, his eyes narrowed in a permanent squint against the sun.
"Before the war [in Gaza] it was the usual thing; they would come with drones. But a few days after 7 October, it became serious. They all had guns. They started coming to us day and night. I have little kids - some of them are four and five years old."
Fares said Yinon was one of a group of local Israeli settlers who would regularly come to harass his sheep with their dogs and weapons, and even, he says, to assault his family.
"They destroyed water tanks, closed down roads, they fire at the sheep," he said. "He told my wife if we didn't leave here, we'd all be killed."
He said when his wife then swore at him, Yinon Levy hit her with the butt of his gun.
Soon afterwards, Fares and his family left their village of Zanuta. Activists say it's one of four communities around the settler's farm that have been abandoned by their residents.
Yinon has denied acting violently towards Palestinians in the area - and said he didn't own a gun until very recently.
But he's now the subject of sanctions from both the US and the UK.
Most countries deem the settlements, which are built on land captured by Israel in 1967 in the Middle East War, to be illegal under international law, although Israel disagrees. The settler outposts are also illegal under Israeli law.
