israel shooting at International and Palestinian Peaceful Demonstrators

At a peaceful nonviolent demonstration against the forceful cessation of farming within what Israel defines as a buffer zone, which was attended by 150 people, two Palestinians demonstrators and one International activist were shot. Israeli soldiers opened fire on the demonstrators from the border fence. Nidal Al Naji (18) was shot in the right thigh. Hind Al Akra (22) was shot in the stomach and is undergoing emergency surgery. Bianca Zimmit (28) from Malta was filming the demonstration when she was shot in her left thigh. The wounded are currently being treated in Al Aqsa Hospital.
Shortly after 11 a.m., women and men, including 6 ISM activists, marched from Al Maghazi towards the Israeli fence closing off the Gaza strip. After being met with live ammunition upon cresting a ridge, some demonstrators continued walking forward. This group included six women, two ISM activists and 20 men. The 20 male demonstrators reached the border fence. Zimmit was shot while filming the demonstration between the ridge and the fence, at a distance of roughly 80-100 meters. Hind Al Akra, also standing between the ridge and the fence, was shot in the stomach, and Niadal al Naji was shot in the leg near the fence. Demonstrators carried the wounded back across rough terrain to taxis for transport to Al-Aqsa Hospital.

The demonstrations are held in protest against the arbitrary decision by Israel to instate a 300 metre buffer zone as no-go area for Palestinians where shoot to kill policy is implemented. People have been shot regularly as far as 2 kilometres away from the border. Popular Campaign for the Security in the Buffer Zone, an umbrella organization that includes organizations representing farmers and Gaza residents living near the border, and also a number of political parties are present at many of these demonstrations.

Those venturing to the border regions to gather rubble and steel do so as a result of the siege on Gaza which, along with Israels 23 day winter war on Gaza, has decimated Gazas economy, including 95 percent of Gazas factories and businesses, according to the United Nations. Additionally, these recycled construction materials are vital in Gaza where the Israeli-led siege bans all but under 40 items from entering.

The siege prevents vitally needed construction materials from entering Gaza, where over 6,400 houses were destroyed or severely damaged in the Israeli war on Gaza, and nearly 53,000 sustained lesser damages. Hospitals and medical centres, schools, kindergartens and mosques are among the other buildings destroyed and damaged during the Israeli war on Gaza.

@nbarile18 i agree with the noone killing anyone part but its difficult to say blankly that Israel did not start the fight.....the fight has been going back n forth.......I understand and respect Israels right to exist and prptect but i think suffocating the Palistinians is not the answer. I think Israel needs to get new leaders just like we do here in the USA.....noone is faultless .......peace

[nbarile18]

@232323C I don't believe ANYONE should be killing anyone over religion but Israel did not start this fight.

Damn you Israel.......I am doing my duty and speaking loudly to all my fellow americans hwom i come in contact with about the evil things you are doing to the Palistinians. even to my biased christian parents.. Slowly though people here are waking up. I wait for the day when USA takes a clear stand against the evil Israel is doing. I wage information war against you and if a real war I will happily march through your streets in victory

[232323C]

@nbarile18 maybe you should go take a bullet from the zionists pigs and then get back to us all.......all you have to do is be unarmed and show up at a peaceful protest.......or try to block a bulldozer from destroying a families home.......go for it......yea, get back to us after and fill us in on how great you think the zionists are.......ciao

[232323C]

@nbarile18 "You are a disgusting extremist pig who clearly has a major intelligence disorder and an inability to comprehend facts and ethics" Your sentence is completely ridiculous. First off I am NOT an extremist.. Zionism is extremism. secondly, how can you say i cannot comprehend the facts when clearly you are the ONE who is unable to comprehend the facts even when their right in your face as in this video. You came here to defend zionism solely. Zionism is supremacy, and oppression.

[232323C]

@nbarile18 you sound in fact similar to me....I am non religious, non political, against killing and oppression. The fact is the Zionists are oppressing and killing Palestinians by the thousandss. You cannot throw up the "Palis fire rockets so its defense" excuse because what Israel does is NOT defense. It is out right slaughter. The death toll comparisons speak for themselves. I attacked you for attacking anyone who attacks zionist Israel .Your biased and all you have is insults. No logic
