I agree with soulinite. They are sacrificing themselves which is a big key in winning. A Bomb is coming so they stand in the way. Brave I say.

Hopefully they realize that this is a more effective form of protest.

This IS protest!

[soulinite]

So the palistinians are learning non-violent resistance eh? Excellent, This is bad news for the isrealis and the best news to come out of the region in some time!

There appears to be only one video version - which is originally from Al Jazeera, I believe - on all TV reports. The differences are in the language used by the reporters. CNN for instance, uses an Israeli PR person at the end, which colors the report enormously.

I know the picture and especially sound quality is bad. If anyone sees a better version, let me know, I'll link it. In response to some emails I received: This is the first time the Palestinians have reacted in this way after many many house demolitions and attacks. To me, it shows both their desperation and their solidarity. It also seemed to me that the BBC report showed more understanding of the terrible situation in the occupied country than most Western reports.

Good video. Switch off 'steady shot' on camera. That may help picture.
