Is it a “wicked act” and a “crime against humanity” when the settlers do it? Sure, these dumb anarchists have carried out such acts, but there is also no doubt that settlers have done it to as part of their “price tag policy”

Didn't say it was a crime against humanity. I said they take it seriously, and why.

Moral equivalency arguments are so feeble, I think I'll be merciful and leave it at that. :)

Yes you are right, there is no moral equivalency. Palestinian farmers, whose sole income is the olive groves they aren’t even allowed to tend for most of the year, see their livelihoods go up in smoke after radical settlers attack them.

Settlers have also had their crops attacked. But as they grow olive trees for political reasons to further their illegal claims to occupied land they claim God gave them, I feel a hell of a lot less sympathetic for them.

The settlers are a rabid hard-core minority who are hijacking the desire of most Israelis to reach a peace deal and as such are endangering US and British military lives.
