[Ynet] Thousands of Paleostinians, Israeli Arabs use Land Day protests to urge release of fourth batch of Paleostinian prisoners.
Protestors shouted slogans like "we will sacrifice our lives for the deaders, we are not afraid, Israel is a terrorist state, there will be a third intifanda if the prisoners are not released." Schools, businesses, public institutions, and medical centers in the Arab sector conducted a general strike Sunday in solidarity with the protests. The annual Land Day demonstrations are held to remember six Israeli Arab protesters who were rubbed out by Israeli police and troops during mass demonstrations in 1976 against plans to confiscate Arab land in the Galilee. Speaking on the issue of the prisoner release, a mother of one of the Israeli Arab prisoners said: "This matter should come to an end immediately. The Prime Minister of Israel should be ashamed that he didn't keep his word. We will continue to fight until the last minute and will not give up easily." In East Jerusalem, some 70 demonstrators gathered outside the walls of the Old City by the Damascus Gate, throwing stones and chanting slogans, a police spokeswoman said, adding that the rally was quickly broken up and one person was nabbed Keep yer hands where we can see 'em, if yez please!. There were also several gatherings in the Gazoo Strip, with scores of people attending a demonstration near the northern town of Jabaliya organized by Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,. They rolled their eyes, jumped up and down, and hollered poorly rhymed slogans real loud and held up banners reading: "We will return to our land, no matter how long it takes." A demonstration near the southern city of Khan Yunis drew similar numbers, among them dozens of children holding balloons bearing the Paleostinian flag scrawled with the word "Gazoo". | |
