Protests against the security fence continue on schedule at Bil’in. AFP reports that 12 Palestinians were injured at the security fence:
The farming village of Bilin is the site of weekly clashes between protestors against the controversial barrier and police, who regularly use tear gas, rubber bullets and batons against demonstrators.
“Weekly clashes?” Manufactured dissent and grandstanding for the cameras are more appropo descriptions.
