12 years strong: Hundreds march against Israel's wall in Bil'in
Perhaps finally learning the value of nonviolence from the villagers, the Israeli army did not disperse the weekly protest on Friday. Youth manage to pry open gate in the wall.
Some 300 people — Palestinians, Israelis and internationals — took part in a protest march Friday from the West Bank village of Bil’in to Israel’s separation barrier, built on the village’s land, to mark 12 years of continuous popular struggle against the wall, Israel’s settlements, and its military occupation of Palestine.

Unlike nearly every other Friday over the past 12 years, no soldiers came to break up the protest, an anomaly that allowed the demonstrators to march unimpeded through blooming almond trees and olive groves, all the way to the wall.


A group of U.S. military veterans against the Israeli occupation came to the protest to stand in solidarity with the people of Bil’in, February 17, 2017. (Oren Ziv/Activestills.org)

Not a huge protest but makes one wonder still.

It's because of those "hundreds", that the wall is there.

Build it higher!
