[Bil'in, 5 years later] Palestinians tear segregation barrier (TheREALnews)CMAQ via Mic, Lundi, Février 22, 2010 - 01:03 (Reportage ind. / Ind. news report | Droits / Rights / Derecho | Guerre / War | Repression | Solidarite internationale) In weekly Friday protest in Bi'lin, Palestinian territories, thousands tear through segregation barrier. During the weekly protest in the Palestinian village of Bil'in, thousands of activists assembled to celebrate five years of non-violent resistance. This form of popular struggle has spread to many other Palestinian villages and areas in East Jerusalem. The protests are made to show opposition to the confiscation of roughly half of the village's land by the Israeli Jewish-only settlement colony of Modi'in Illit. In 2007, after the village protested every Friday for almost 3 years, the Israeli Supreme Court ruled that the barrier does not serve a security purpose and ordered it rerouted. The Israeli army however, did not start to reroute the barrier until last week and informed the village that it will only return 364 (or 60%) of its 575 taken acres. During this week's protest the army fired dozens of tear gas canisters, shock grenades, and sprayed the crowd with liquid smelling like sewer and feces.
