Christmas in Bilin
Today in the West Bank village of Bilin after morning prayers, five activists dressed as Santa Claus marched with Palestinian, Israeli, and International demonstrators to the apartheid wall during the weekly demonstration. The activists were armed with bags of toys and boxes of candy. The local children swarmed the Santas as they passed out toys and noisemakers. A Christmas tree decorated with an assortment of spent tear gas canisters was rolled to the wall, and immediately upon arrival the Israeli army began firing tear gas and sound bombs at the crowd. The Santas responded by throwing candy back at the soldiers. Many people suffered tear gas inhalation.
