“The freedom defenders who will partake in these peaceful demonstrations and rallies around the world are marching for dignity toward Jerusalem. Together with them, Palestinians will continue their certain path toward national independence.”–Saeb Erakat
March 30, 2012, Israeli forces have killed at least one, and wounded at least 37 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The Palestinians are taking part in Land Day demonstrations.
Also part of Land Day, is the Global March to Al Quds. A Palestinian elected official in West Bank, Mustafa Barghouti, was wounded by Israeli forces as he took part in peaceful protests at Al Quds.
Red Cross officials say more than 170 Palestinians are wounded because of Israeli military and police actions. Russian media sources, citing the Red Crescent, say at least 200 unarmed Palestinians in West Bank have been wounded by Israeli forces.
Israeli forces are using water cannons, rubber bullets, tear gas, stink gas and high frequency sound weapons. There is a photo that shows Israeli police, mounted on horseback, trampling Palestinians with their horses.
Palestinians are responding with rocks and bricks.
Don’t think Palestinians are only Muslim, there are Palestinian Jews and Christians taking part in the protests.
Several U.S. Jews are taking part in the protests, they’re wearing badges that say, in English and Arabic: “A Jew, Not a Zionist”. They are part of a U.S. based organization www.nkusa.org
Western media sources say at least 1,000 protesters have gathered at the Lebanese/Israeli border.
Russian sources say 20,000 people have gathered on the Jordanian/Israeli border!
The U.S. puppet military junta of Egypt has turned its forces against people trying to demonstrate on the Egyptian/Israeli border. The official reason is that Egypt’s “internal situation… and political tensions at the current time” will not allow it.
