The Palestinian press reports that a 10-year-old Arab boy was killed by the Israeli Army in Ni’lin, where villagers have been protesting the construction of the “separation wall” on Arab lands. Saif Ammous comments:
“Another week, another barbaric Israeli response to Palestinian non-violence resistance. And another bout of deafening silence
from all the people who never shut up telling Palestinians about the
importance of non-violence, dialog, listening and being nice.
“Ni’lin has been holding continuous non-violence resistance actions
to the Israeli apartheid wall stealing most of the village’s land for
years now. You never seem to hear about it anywhere but in Palestine;
and it never registers in the brains of the immoral westerners whose only
take on the conflict is to lecture Palestinians about how nice it would
be if they would take their oppression a little more nicely. You can
read more about it here at wordpress.”
