Part 2: Nabi Saleh Protest 25-06-2010.wmv

Today, yet again, protestors in Nabi Salah were subjected to merciless Israeli violence with one youth injured and ambulanced away for treatment. This time, however, the perpetrators were repeatedly challenged by a brave, brave woman: Huwaida Arraf, who blocked with her body two Israeli Occupation Forces soldiers from firing killer, high velocity tear gas projectiles at some stone throwing youth. With telling truth she informed them that: "The demonstration was over and their continued presence was designed to provoke and intimidate and to go home". Her pleas were in vain as the IOF made continuous terrorising forays on foot and jeep into the village until late into the evening. Prior to the protest, at the cermony in the village square honouring the many Palestinians jailed for inordinate periods of time by Israel for resisting the Occupation, she urged people of live conscience worldwide to boycott Israeli blood diamonds as the cut diamonds are the foundation of the Israeli economy and amount to some $20 billion in exports annually. Huwaida Arraf is a Palestinian-American human rights activist who co-founded the International Solidarity Movement and is currently chair of the Free Gaza Movement, she was on board Challenger 1, one of the six siege-breaking ships ferrying desperately needed humanitarian supplies to Gaza when the flotilla was murderously attacked in international waters by Israeli commandos on 31st May 2010 - nine other human rights activists aboard the Turkish ship, Mavi Marmara were murdered in cold blood, . Huwaida witnessed the terrorist attack on the Marmara before her own ship was boarded and its passengers and crew subjected to Israeli savagery. In August 2008, Huwaida was on the Free Gaza boats that sailed from Cyprus to Gaza, the first boats to challenge Israel's closure of the Strip and dock in Gaza Port in over 40 years. She has since lead 4 other successful solidarity missions to Gaza with the Free Gaza Movement. In February 2009 Huwaida was part of a National Lawyers Guild delegation that traveled to Gaza to document possible Israeli violations of international law and war crimes that may have been committed during Operation Cast Lead.

@ByTheShortAndCurlies thanks for the reply. i had a look at your web site, and have to say very informative. the reason i needed to comment initially was to out line the disaster possibly coming for both sides of the conflict. this is a terrible conflict, with innocent people on both sides. i know this may sound crazy, but i think if land was set aside for those on both sides who do not want to contribute to this conflict, they could at least go there and settle in peace.

@Ianjcarroll

Its disputed territory read carefully UN resolution 242. When Egypt had Gaza it wasn't "occupied" and when Jordan had 'West Bank' it wasn't "occupied" when Israel fought a defensive war instigated by multiple Arabs and gained the land its suddenly "occupied" That's odd. Jews are indigenous to that land, not the Arabs.

Arabs were offered land for peace 3 times in the last 10 years each time they refused and/or started terrorism.

They have 22 Arab states, Jordan is their home!

@Zionyy

The Arabs are masters at distorting the truth, lying when they don't want peace when offered and refuse or become murderously violent.

The Islamist, useful idiots, leftists and Jew haters all lap the lies up when they should be concerned with the tragedy of the lack of: human, gender, racial, sexual, religious rights in the Arab world.

A future Palestinian state like Gaza will be 100% Jew free, yet no cries of racism. The people make me puke.

The Kimberley process was because of blood diamonds and not to purchased them where they are SOURCED and to trace the process.

Palestinians fired over 10,000 rockets into civilian Israel, for peace it withdrew all 8000 Israelis from Gaza leaving it Jew free, in return a 400% increase of rockets were fired by terrorist Hamas.

In Camp David Arafat refused 97% of all land, starting the second intafada killing over 1000 Israelis.

Olmert offered 100% of West Bank Abbas refused.

WAKE UP PEOPLE!

@avi1500

I agree the Arabs and their apologists twist the truth, invert reality and make the victim the victimizer whilst completely omitting what they do to Israel and its citizens.

[Zionyy]

LOL. Israel was one of the establishing countries of the kimberly proces. in 2011 Israel was the head of it.

I think it says one thing to the crazy people in the video: F U

People, stop buying Israeli goods.... IKEA and the like are all funding the Israeli occupation by fitting out homes in Israel with all the IKEA crap you can imagine for low prices....  looking at these reports reminds me so much of the north of ireland conflicts in the 1960 - 70.... its all going to end some day, but precious lives and i mean all lives on both sides will be lost from this conflict..

@hamidious: Me too..........she seems to genuinely care about this cause........unlike certain others we know{i.e. David Duke}

[hamidious]

Huwaida Arraf is always on the frontlines isn't she? Probably the bravest woman I've seen, I hope she isn't hurt in the future.

@avi1500 The biggest loser is you faux Jews aka Zionists. Take that tired worn out holocaust card and shove it up your ass because the jig is up and that piggy bank called "US Taxpayers" is out of money.
