| YCMTUIYT JERUSALEM (AP) - Palestinian protesters have added a colorful twist to demonstrations against Israel's separation barrier, painting themselves blue and posing as characters from the hit film "Avatar." The demonstrators also donned long hair and loincloths Friday for the weekly protest against the barrier near the village of Bilin. Ok - so how can you tell the difference? They equated their struggle to the intergalactic one portrayed in the film. Israel says the barrier is needed for its security. Palestinians consider it a land grab. The protests have become a symbol of opposition. They often end in clashes with Israeli security forces involving stones and tear gas. Meaning that the 'peace-loving -just like the Navi- Protesters often turn violent and start throwing rocks at security. The "Avatar" protest comes a day after the Israeli government began rerouting the enclosure to eat up less of the Palestinian village. |
