Israeli soldiers have broken up a demonstration by hundreds of villagers and peace protesters outside the West Bank village of Nabi Saleh, a week after a protester died at a similar event.
The video there, at 49 seconds, claims no stones were thrown. The correspondent, Rupert Wingfield-Hayes, gets so agitated I thought he was in danger of over-exciting himself.
Wafa claims
Upon arrival of protesters near the fence, where they were able to remove some of the barbed wire, soldiers behind the concrete wall shot stun grenades and tear gas toward the participants, which caused suffocation to dozens.
some of the participants threw stones at the soldiers, who continued to fire tear gas at them.
Who am I - and you - to believe?
No violence and the IDF started it or - Arab propaganda filtered throught the BBC?
P.S. At around 2:25, you can see how not-smart the IDF is. The wind is blowing in the wrong direction but they are still shooting tear gas - which is just blowing back at the soldiers. Can a dumb tactic like this be the norm in an army that is supposed to have killed, on purpose, a demonstrator last week?
