Pals shud paint-over, tag-out, or glue posters
that say "Siedlers Raus!" and have a skull/cross
bones on them. Pal kids shud NOT throw stones at
anyone--especially IDF GIs and private goons. The kids shud avert eye contact and, if possible
ignore these enemies--have nothing to do with
them...Aaron Allen...
This is very sad that such things are happening!
