Tiananmen-tank-like showdown

The world is watching. Astonishing footage of a woman with what sounds like an American accent standing in front of Israeli soldiers who are firing at Palestinian demonstrators. "You're shooting at kids! Don't you understand that?" she says. Brave brave woman. Provenance seems to be Korean film crew, per Juan Cole, who says that it was in Gaza and soldiers are shooting rubber bullets. Still. Youtube says December 28. Looks like West Bank to me.

Update: I am told this is the great Huwaida Arraf, an American, in the West Bank last January.
