This Xmas in Bilin - ‏ 25-12-09

This Xmas in Bilin - ‏ 25-12-09:

"Some 30 Israelis and 15 internationals joined the weekly local demonstrations against the wall, celebrated Xmas in Bilin (and the 42nd anniversary of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine), with St. Nick and Mrs. Claus (how come she hasn't got her own name?) costumes and toys for the kids. The soldiers were offered a Xmas tree decorated with used gas canister baubles, and reciprocated with brand new gas canisters for the demonstrators and village youth. But since collecting and displaying used army projectiles is grounds for arrest and indictment (as shown by the case of Abdullah Abu Rahme), the good boys of the local shabab politely returned the army's spent ammo. High level Fatah officials joined to congratulate and show solidarity. The demonstration ended with no casualties, and most Israelis continued to Sheikh Jarah."
