This false news item would, perhaps, deserve no special mention, if it were not typical of the whole media coverage, not only of this specific demonstration, but of all joint demonstrations of Israeli peace activists and Palestinians.

Without this connection, it is doubtful if the occupation could have lasted for the 39 years it has so far. Therefore it is worthwhile to analyze the events in detail...
When it was decided to build the separation wall around Jerusalem, the plan was to cut a-Ram off from the city. Worse: The path of the wall passes right down the middle of the main street —so that it does not separate between Palestinians and Israelis, but mostly between Palestinians and Palestinians.
When this was only in the planning stage, the inhabitants held a number of non-violent demonstrations. To all of them, Israeli peace activists were invited and came. But in the meantime, the monstrous wall has become reality. |
