The theme to this week's demonstration in Ma'asara was solidarity with Omar Ala-Din, a resident of the village and activist in the demonstrations, that was recognized as such by soldiers two weeks ago in a checkpoint, and was therefore beaten badly and held in custody for more than a week. Some hundred Palestinian, Israeli and international demonstrators marched through the village streets in the rain, carrying pictures of Ala-Din's scars and calling for an end to the occupation. Protestors were joined by Al-Aqsa mosque high Sheikh, Taisir Al-Tamimi, and were stopped by soldiers who blocked the village exit. The Sheikh and other demonstrators called upon the soldiers in Arabic, English and Hebrew to refuse to participate in the oppression of the popular struggle, this in the same week when four teenage Palestinian were shot dead by the army.
@cymer00 No brutal Israeli occupation that does not exist
Arabs and Jews living elsewhere live somewhere else
Maybe you do not live in Israel and you do not know what's going on really
If there is no fence at all times be the murder of two peoples
That Arabs and leftists do not understand

I see there are Israelis there too. It is nice to see that some Israelis know the injustice and cruelty of Israel's occupation.
