A Greek group participated with the people in Bilin to give their support. The international activists carried banners showing their solidarity with the Palestinian people and the Palestinian right to resist the occupation and live in peace on their land. A British activist, Jody Macantyre, said We came to be in solidarity with the Palestinians, we believe in their right to live in peace.

We are here today in Bil'in because we see the Wall as an obstacle to the building of a Palestinian state from America Sasha Solanas said Im here today to show my solidarity with the Palestinians in Bil'in on the International Day for the Solidarity with the Palestinian people. I have heard a lot about this village and the weekly protests against the wall and settlements. I admire the struggle in Bil'in, and Im happy to be here with you today.

The protesters marched towards the wall built on the land of Bil'in chanting and singing slogans to resist the occupation hold on to the Palestinian rights, and a national unity among the Palestinians.

Great video. It was good to see so many people from Bil'in there that I know. Bravo to you all. Unless you have come to Bil'in and demonstrated, you have no idea how vicious that tear gas is. To all of you who have been so steadfast every year... my greatest admiration. Greta

i agree with bwanje

what are they going to do next with their time?

why dont they do a fireworks display

more fun for everyone involved.

better way to entertain people

it's not like they don't have any money with all the funding they get.

can't they spend it on being nice to people since they're supposed to be the sons of god?

i thought gods were supposed to shine with splendour and goodness and generally support healthy things like 'life' 'goodness' and 'happiness'.
