Last week's Bil'in demonstration focused on being able to walk, along with Israeli activists and internationals to the village's land (where currently an Israeli settlement is being illegally expanded). It didn't work. Sometimes I think of it like this: pretend are Canadian and you went to Sweden. Maybe you bought some land there and built some houses and sold them to your other Canadian friends. Maybe you even built a little fence around your compound. But is it okay to raise the Canadian flag, impose immigrant restrictions, have the Canadian military protect you, and announce it to be part of Canada? The same thing is happening here and some people think it's just fine.
