2. Beit Surik struggle continues
1. Brian seeks justice.
Brian Avery thanks all those that helped make it possible for him to
attend his Supreme Court hearing Monday.
"I hope the investigation continues until someone is found
accountable. Hopefully this will make them think before they shoot
that they might be held accountable." Says Brian.
Some coverage on Brian's case-

2. Beit Surik struggle continues
Tomorrow residents of Beit Surik village will return to the
construction site of the wall to protest the theft of their land.
They will be joined by Israeli and international activists.
The march will leave the centre of Beit Surik, north-west of
Jerusalem, at 800am.
The mayor of Beit Surik, Mohamed Kondil, was arrested on Monday
while negotiating with soldiers at a similar demonstration.
He is currently being held at the Ofer detention center.
Today a large gathering of demonstrators and media postponed the
construction of the wall on Beit Sourik land.
During Monday's demonstration, the Israeli border police threw
stones at the demonstrators and undercover agents arrested people
from the crowd (footage available upon request).

Brian Avery had repeatedly claimed that the IDF shot him in the face willfully, in daylight, purposefully, recklessly, and failed to offer him medical assistance after he was wounded.
He further complained that the IDF delayed the ambulance by one and a half hours, suggesting they did so purposely.
Yet in court, Avery's attorney tells us for the first time that the soldiers fired into the dirt in front of Avery and his companions.
(I always wondered how they could fire 30 shots at up to five people and only wound one person!)
We also find out that these events took place at night.
No mention is made of a delayed ambulance, but we find out that Avery went FIRST to a Palestinian hospital where he was transported via an (Israeli??) helicopter to an Israeli hospital in Haifa.
Avery admits he was out knowingly violating a curfew---and since he had just heard shots, it was likely the IDF were engaged in a gunbattle (not withstanding Avery's testimony that he ONLY heard IDF bullets!!!)
Is it possible that the IDF fired WARNING shots and Avery was hit by a riccochet?
Is it possible that from a moving vehicle at night, the IDF, having just fired into the dirt, continued to drive on completely unaware that Avery had been injured?
Its not only possible, its likely.
Why didn't Avery share these details about his case before?
