Hilltop Youth ((ヘブライ語:נוער הגבעות), ''Noar HaGva'ot'') is a term commonly used to refer to hardline,〔('Ex-Shin Bet chief: Government does not want to deal with Jewish terror,' ) Ynet 8 August 2015.〕 nationalist youth from controversial settlements in Israel. ==About the groups== The Hilltop Youth are a "loosely organized, anarchy-minded group" often noted for establishing illegal/disputed outposts outside existing settlements. Members linked to the group have been accused of engaging in Israeli settler violence, including vandalism of Palestinian schools and mosques. Settlers have long been accused of carrying out what are called "price tag attacks", a term used for targeting Palestinian property in revenge for outposts demolished by the Israeli military, although no one as yet has actually been convicted of having been involved in such vandalism. Many of the hilltop youth feel that the mainstream settler movement has lost its way, opting for cheap housing close to major cities, built by local Arab labor, with tall fences and no space between their homes. The Youth often engage in organic farming and shun Palestinian labor in favor of 'Avoda Ivrit' - Hebrew labor. Much of Israel's organic produce is cultivated by the hilltop youth. A handful of the new hilltops, such as Sde Boaz, Ma'ale Rehav'am and Esh Kodesh are populated by both religious and non-religious Jews and there is a sense that they wish to serve as an example of religious tolerance in a society where the two groups often live apart from one another. Certain people associated with the mainstream Israeli settlement movement, along with some of the nationalist parties, have distanced themselves from the Hilltop Youth and insist that the youth are not part of their movement. The Hilltop Youth has been condemned in the past by figures within Israel's government, with Former Defense Minister Ehud Barak referring to the group as unacceptable "homemade terror, Jewish-made terror".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hilltop Youth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
