West Bank Village Defiant after Israeli Crackdown
In which the source of this An Nahar article, Agence France Presse, fondly believes it maintains an air of neutrality throughout.
[AnNahar] With a four-day lockdown and economic sanctions, Israel cracked down hard on the West Bank village of Qabatiya after three of its sons killed a policewoman in a Jerusalem attack.

But residents of the hilltop village of 25,000 pledge to keep up their long history of struggle against foreign masters, come what may.

"Here we have resisted every occupation," mayor Mahmoud Kamel told AFP, citing centuries of Ottoman imperial rule, followed by nearly 30 years of British control and Israel's capture of the territory from Jordan in the 1967 Six-Day War.
