Friday Protest in Bilin Becomes Celebration

CNN International

Congratulations to residents of Bilin, including the Popular Committee Against the Wall, The International Solidarity Movement (ISM) and Anarchists Against the Wall

From ISM

On Friday, September 7th, the villagers of Bil’in were joined by international and Israeli comrades. Normally they come together every Friday to express their outrage of the unacceptable Apartheid Wall. Normally the day is filled with military violence, tear gas, sound bombs, and billy clubs are common. Once the military begins to fire gas into the crowds, the non-violent protesters tend to back off eventually leaving only the Palestinian children throwing rocks in anger. A mild response in comparison to the rubber coated steel bullets used against them….

Note in the video that Ben Wedeman just can’t help himself, he never fails to present the narrative that Palestinians attack and the Israeli army responds.
