2015-02-24 PALESTINE!

2015-02-24 PALESTINE!
===================
The wall in Bil'in has been the site of routine demonstrations and took the lives of a number of Palestinians over the years.
"The fifth anniversary of the struggle took place one week after infrastructure work finally started as Israel began to reroute the wall. At the height of the demonstration, protesters managed to get to the fence, dismantle a large section, and cross the wall, placing a Palestinian flag on top of an Israel army outpost.
"The Israeli army, however would not let the celebration continue. The soldiers responded by spraying “skunk water” and shooting scores of tear gas canisters. The scene of Israeli soldiers defending a wall that they themselves were about to dismantle was so absurd."
