Israeli army blocks activists’ rally for West Bank town
Jews and Arab citizens protest attack by radical settlers
By Majdi Mohammed and Isabel Debre, Associated Press, Hawara, West Bank
Transcribed from the clipping
“HAWARA, West Bank — Israeli troops fired stun grenades and tear gas on Friday to block busloads of Israeli left-wing activists from staging a solidarity rally in a Palestinian town that was set ablaze by radical Jewish settlers earlier this week… According to Sally Abed from the group Standing Together, at least two protesters were briefly arrested… In another case, a group of soldiers violently pushed former Israeli parliament speaker Avraham Burg, until he stumbled to the ground… ‘It is ridiculous that the army allows settlers to enter Hawara as we speak, but we — Israeli Jews and Arabs who wish to show our solidarity — are told that there is no entry,’… The protesters chanted, ‘No to occupation’ and ‘End Jewish terror.’”
Context added by this archive
Israeli Jews and Palestinian citizens of Israel, on buses, stopped by their own army on the way to a Palestinian town. The chant printed here is End Jewish terror.
