An Israeli bulldozer destroys a children's playground near Bethlehem

Guarded by Israeli soldiers, a bulldozer demolishes a garden and children's playground to make way for the continued construction of Israel's illegal apartheid wall. International Solidarity Movement activists joined local Palestinians and two Israeli activists to attempt to block the bulldozer. All were violently removed by the soldiers - one Palestinian was hospitalised after his stomach was repeatedly stamped upon - and had to stand by and watch the destruction unfold.

@klotsjak And you wander why they fight back

That's sad to see, why didn't someone spend an hour or two and dig up the playground to put it somewhere else? They let it be ruined. If I lived that close to that area I'd sell my house and move to a place where I could live in peace. I've lived all over the world, there are beautiful areas everywhere.

if you don't want them to do this, don't launch mortars at them. they could do things alot differently. they don't round people up and send them to gas chambers, now do they?
