It is interesting how Israel’s apologists will argue that they it is legal to know down a houe or evict a Palestinian family becasue the court has decided so, but just as easily, dismiss court rulings that are inconvenient?

In any case, this event proves that non violent protest and resistance is not tolerted or effective, which leaves vilence as the only other option.

RE:” donate to the Bil’in legal fund by paypal click link to tinyurl.com

MY COMMENT: I made a modest contribution. To save you a little effort, when you get to this PayPal page, your contribution will be in Israeli Shekels. PayPal Conversion Rate as of Aug. 7, 2009: 1 U.S. Dollar = 3.81897 Israeli New Shekels

Consequently, a contribution of 200 Shekels is a little over $50. ($52.37 to be exact)

The crème de la crème of Palestinian leadership, intellectuals and people of influence are behind bars. It is one way of controlling the population. This indicates to me that Bi’lin is becoming uncomfortably familiar to the more enlightened section of western opinion. Is Ni’lin leadership similarly attacked?

Seems the Israelis studied the 3rd Reich’s tactics very well.
