Uri Avnery writes about two demonstrations:
The day before yesterday, two demonstrations were held, just a few dozen kilometers apart. One took place at the Homesh settlement, not far from Jenin. Tens of thousands of settlers and their sympathizers came to demonstrate against the planned evacuation of this settlement. The demonstrators swore to sabotage the decisions of the government and the Knesset. [...] Hundreds of soldiers and policemen were stationed along the route to protect the demonstrators against all eventualities. [...] At the same time, another demonstration took place at Bil’in, west of Ramallah. The inhabitants of that and the neighboring villages, together with Israeli peace activists, demonstrated against the “Separation Fence” that is being put up on their land. This demonstration was savagely attacked by soldiers and policemen, who assaulted them, beat, injured and arrested them, using old and new weapons. ¹
