demonstration in support of Palestinian farmers, Biddu, Palestine- part 2

by MC
On Saturday September the 13, farmers from the village of Biddu came to demonstrate against the Israeli military denying their rights to work their fields. These fields contain olive trees (and other fruit trees) and are blocked by a fence and a gate that is monitored by the occupying forces. The farmers were joined by internationals and Israelis who also demonstrated on the other side of the fence, which has been confiscated for the settlement "Har Adar". This report covers the demonstration that happened on the "Har Adar" settlement.

Pini Cohen, the commander that in charge, seems to think that he is directing a movie. He keeps yelling at other police personal to film activists while ranting lists of grievances against them, and threatening to arrest everyone.
Towards the end of the day he is heard saying that no Palestinians will be allowed to cross the gate the next day, as a punishment. Maybe Pini is saving all the video images for the day when he retires from the military to write a movie about how hard it was for him to oppress people, the pain that he endured while denying people basic rights and assisting in war crimes. these kind of movies are very common in Israel, where soldiers "shoot and then cry" .

While leaving the settlement, I notice a monument to those who founded "Har Adar". An olive tree was planted in their honor. Those who live here see no contradiction between this monument and the fact that lass then mile from here hundreds of olive trees are surrounded by fences and walls.
