This is an excellent example of how Israelis feel the UN attacks us.

The October 6th statement condemning the Israelis destroying property in Huwara comes a month after an Israeli father and son were murdered in Huwara, and hours after another gunman in Huwara fired at Israeli civilians. The UN said nothing about the two murders or the continued gunfire at civilians. But property damage is something that they find important enough to comment on?!?

And to be absolutely clear, the attack by Israeli settlers was condemned by almost every single Israeli citizen, group, and media. Whereas Hamas, the PA, and the Islamic Jihad praised the two murders, I remember that only because they didn't claim the murderer as one of their own (which they usually do).

And to clear up one last detail, the Israeli settler attack in Huwara did damage property and there is a disputed incident in which an Arab attacking the Israelis (who may or may not have been those attacking) was killed - it's not clear if by Israeli civilian attackers or the military. The property damage was mostly (but not only) a car wrecking yard that was burned. See the photographs of the damaged vehicles, note that they are stacked on top of each other:

That is an Arab media source, that I found by searching for Huwara in Arabic, because I don't want to bias this answer with a link to an Israeli source (I'm sure there's bias in here despite my attempts to present dry facts).
