Involvement of Youths
Some settlers who attacked or harassed Palestinians are disaffected youths, referred to in the Israeli media as Hilltop Youth. In 2008, welfare minister Isaac Herzog (Labor party) labeled them a "security threat" as well as a "societal and educational danger". In December 2011, following an outbreak of settler violence against IDF property and personnel the Israeli Defense Minister, Ehud Barak, said with reference to the Hilltop Youth, "there is no doubt that we are talking about terrorists."

Famous quotes containing the words involvement of, involvement and/or youths:
“In the planning and designing of new communities, housing projects, and urban renewal, the planners both public and private, need to give explicit consideration to the kind of world that is being created for the children who will be growing up in these settings. Particular attention should be given to the opportunities which the environment presents or precludes for involvement of children with persons both older and younger than themselves.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
“Juggling produces both practical and psychological benefits.... A woman’s involvement in one role can enhance her functioning in another. Being a wife can make it easier to work outside the home. Being a mother can facilitate the activities and foster the skills of the efficient wife or of the effective worker. And employment outside the home can contribute in substantial, practical ways to how one works within the home, as a spouse and as a parent.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
“How could youths better learn to live than by at once trying the experiment of living?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
