Today is the 12th anniversary of the nonviolent demonstrations against the apartheid wall in Bil'in. Veterans For Peace were present along with members of CODEPINK. Surprisingly, the Israeli military was not in attendance for most of the festivities, only showing up at the end when the villagers managed to pry open the gate in the wall. Only two canisters of tear gas made an appearance, just enough to remind us that we didn't really feel like having more. One protester got injured when he was being chased by soldiers. He fell and broke his leg, at which point the soldiers decamped and the protesters carried him up to the road to the Palestinian ambulance.
