YUP.... you read it right.
BUT..... who's the 'terrorist'?
According to the settler terrorists themselves, it's the likes of one Hanin Zoabi, a Palestinian member of the Israeli Knesset....*

According to others....
The word used for terrorist in Hebrew is “Mechabel” (mechablim for terrorists). In Israeli discourse this is a synonym for Palestinian.

Israeli newspaper Yidioth Ahronot published today (June, 18th, 2012) about a tourist’s activity offered by Gush Etzion settlements, where visitors can practice how to shoot “terrorists”.
Stories about such tours both in settlements and army bases are always published, but no serious attention given to such scary culture of hatred and violence. (see here one example in Hebrew from 2003)
Tourists from across the globe visit Gosh Etzion settlements, where they are offered by settlers “enjoyable” package under the name “Hebrew Extreme Tourism” with range of activities that include: story telling about battles, view live shooting performance and an activity where visitors can practice shooting at “terrorists-mechablim”‘s cardboard pictures hung on the wall.
In Israeli discourse this is a synonym for Palestinian.

So now we know who the 'terrorist' is... how to deal with them is still another question.... right wing settlers came up with a money making solution which can keep tourists busy for a day or so....
