The American news media presents a false image of Jewish settlers in the West Bank, Sen. Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii) said here Monday.
There is no foundation to the image created by American television of “scared people holding Uzi submachine guns in their hands,” Inouye said.
“They even have a country club,” he said.
He was speaking of the West Bank settlement of Alfei Menashe, which he visited in order to get better acquainted with the settlements.
