Bil'in demo another arrest and lots of gas 07.08.09

At today's weekly non-violent demonstration, the occupation forces arrested yet another Palestinian man, Rany Ayoub Yousef Najar. He is a local cameraman who was wearing the clearly visible green jacket of the Press at the time of his arrest.

Once the protesters arrived close to the Separation Wall, activists from Italy, France, Israel and Bil'in were addressing the soldiers, demanding an end to the military occupation and the Wall. Then the chanting of Palestinian freedom slogan resumed while some of the activists tried to open the gate at the Green Line without success. The Army threw a multiple of tear gas and sound bombs into the crowd. Then the first arrest occurred. After having blindfolded and handcuffed the cameraman, the soldiers entered through the gate a second time. But the air was still heavy with tear gas which made the soldiers retreat to their outpost without arresting anyone else.

The protesters held their ground and were soon sprayed with the foul chemical water and more tear gas. After one hour into the demonstration, the protesters returned back to the village.

Muy buen vídeo. De buena calidad y que demuestra que la lucha por la libertad del Pueblo Palestino tiene muchas caras. Y todas son legítimas.

El tal AndrésHerutnoséqué hostias no es más que un miserable genocida, un asqueroso sionista que no tiene ningún argumento y sólo sabe llamar a los palestinos y a los solidarios ratas. Que es lo que son los no valientes soldados israelíes.

Palestina roja y libre ya.

Israel game over.
