More than 20 activists were wounded when IOF fired rubber bullets and tear gas grenades at protesters marking three years of struggle against the West Bank separation fence in the West Bank town of Bil'in.

More than 1,000 people attended the milestone demonstration last Friday, though the event is a weekly occurrence with several dozen activists gathering in Bil'in every Friday over the last three years to protest the separation barrier that imposes hardship on Palestinians living in the West Bank (more details here).

Here is the Israeli terrorist in action:

    That he was shot, is OK.
    He was not a Bush supporter.
    Just remember. If you support Bush, he will fight for you.
    If you do not support Bush? TFB.
    This world is not about people anymore.
    It has become a world only concerned about money.
    And only the rich need apply.

    @kimmy – @kimmy –

    Typical uneducated Middle-American post. Upper-North Americans, Canadians and some Canadian-like States of the U.S. are laughing at your misinformation.

    George Bush is dead to us (he's an absolute idiot), get over him (he wasn't Jesus). Even if he were, there are more important things to think about… people are dying, people are being injured… If you think this is about which political party you vote for, you have completely lost touch with reality.
