"Moshko, Ruch"

As I have reported here previously, Arabs from Qaryut who claim to own agricultural land aside Highway 60 and to the left and north of the Tel, assisted by Arik Ascherman, went to court and lost their case. The fields legally belong to Moshe 'Moshko' Moshkowitz and his partner, Yaakov Sharvit (who was injured defending their land from trespassers during an earlier demonstarion).

Arabs from Qaryut returned today to demonstrate. I was on the scene, together with Yona Tzoref, a graduate of the Tatzpit program, and we took pictures.

The protestors, shouting 'Palestine Free' and 'Ruch Moshko' (= Moshko Get Out), brought along flags and olive tree saplings and also hoe-type shovels to try and dismantle the dirt blockade to prevent them entering/exiting from Highway 60 which is quite dangerous.

Pictures:

a) waiting at the east side of the Tel:


b) the fields of Moshko (all the way to the stone fence off on the right)


c) the crowd


d) leaving


e) the arrow points to the leader:


Will wait for MSM (mainstream media) reports.
