UshGhrab.m4v:

"Ush Ghrab is a part of the land of Beit Sahour that was used by Jordanian and Israeli armies in the past, but is now being developed for the benefit of all the people of Beit Sahour. The part that is being slated for a hospital has been the target of colonial settler interest. On October 16, 2008 over 300 settlers swarmed the area protected by over 100 soldiers and police. Town people and international friends were at the site with normal activities inclusing bird watching, hiking, and music. The Settler police and soldiers attacked us and kidnapped 6 people (2 Palestinians and 4 internationals)."
