Radical Young Israelis and the Price Tag Attacks: Rockets and Revenge (Dispatch 7)
1,962,107
Published 2014-07-20
For a few years, a young radical group of Israeli settlers in the West Bank have committed random acts of violence and vandalization against Palestinians and their property to make them pay the price for affronting their way of life. They call themselves "Pricetaggers," and they've largely avoided prosecution by Israeli authorities.
VICE News gets rare access to the young members of the Price Tag movement -- at the homecoming of Moriah Goldberg, 20, who just finished a 3-month sentence for throwing stones at Palestinians. She and her family remain proud of the act, even as the current conflict in Gaza was sparked after an all too familiar round of retributive violence.

A lack of empathy is the ugliest trait a human can have.
-
I didn't see any difference between her ideology and the one isis has
-
Looking at how the Palestinians keep somehow their sanity and are able to embrace life in the midst of this violence amazes me
-
She must’ve missed the parts in the Torah that say: “thou shall not kill” and “thou shall not steal”.
-
Love the way Mr. Goldberg explains how he has a right to this land, in his American accent. Having dual citizenship and two homes naturally he wouldn't want the indigenous people to have even one.
-
She said it unexpectly. " I don't care.." That's the whole point.
-
It's so bizarre that the people who where treated this horribly not so long ago whould do the same to others.
-
The reporter literally asked her to concider the fact that Palestians lived there for generations and they see it as their home, and she just answered "I DON'T CARE"!!!! and they dare call the Palestinians who retaliate as the oppressors.... The audacity!!!!
-
The entitlement with which she said "according to the Thora" makes me angry.
-
“Our goal is to be a light upon the gentile nations” girl I am sure that you instill a deep darkness into the souls of the Arabs you throw rocks at
-
The dad saying "I'm proud that she put herself in harm's way for the cause" is so backwards. She threw rocks at strangers simply because they were Palestinian. She's not a hero, she's a bully with no sense of compassion or empathy. Disgusting.
-
The journalist can be seen deeply concerned about the morality of that family
-
Isn't this Hitler's ideology? "We are the best, we are the chosen ones". So the persecuted are the ones persecuting. Irony!!!
-
I've never seen this level of evil in a person outside of a movie violin.
-
If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? 1 John 4:20
-
The way she talk is like she is giving an evil supervillain monologue, it actually is
-
3:46 There you have it. "According to the Torah..." End of all sensible discussion.
-
He went looking for Moriah the price tagger and realized the entire family are price taggers!!
-
Everybody needs to see this video, and they call them the victim
-
As an Israeli I am deeply saddened I feel nothing but remorse for the Arabs that had to deal with these nut cases. These people don’t represent myself as a Jewish Israeli or my Values. They are projecting their hatred towards extremes on people who just trying to live their lives with the hope of providing a better future for their kids. Absolutely unacceptable.
