Shaul Golan managed to photograph houses that had been set on fire by settlers before a group of masked individuals noticed him. He documented them, caught them in the act. And they did not hesitate, as mentioned, to beat him while he was pleading for his life. He remembers one of them telling his friends: "Not the face, not the face, so he won't have marks on his face." They pummeled and kicked the elderly man, the age of their grandfather, and cursed him with hatred again and again that he was a "traitor." Someone like that, they break their hands.
"I told them - 'I'm a Jew like you', 'I'm a Jew, don't hurt me, I'm a Jew', but it didn't help. There were around 30 masked individuals and they cursed me - 'Jew?! Aren't you ashamed? You're a traitor!'"
