Um Salamoneh weekly Protest
(c) Anne Paq/activestills.org; Um Salamoneh; 22 June 2007.
Sous un soleil brulant, la manifestation hebdomadaire contre la construction du Mur s'est encore déroulée, à Um Salamoneh. Comme chaque semaine, les soldats israeliens etaient aussi au rendez-vous, avec leur armes tandis que les Palestiniens et internationaux brandissaient des pousses d'arbres qu'ils voulaient replanter sur leur terres desormais innacessibles. Ils ne sont pas allés bien loin; et se sont heurtés à la haie de soldats.
Des arbres ont été plantés là, symboliquement; comme pour dire nous replanterons encore et encore. Comme d'habitude au bout d'un moment les soldats ont commencé à charger violemment, et ont arrêté deux Israeliens....rendez vous pris pour la semaine suivante.
ENGLISH
Under a very burning sun, the weekly demonstration against the construction of the Wall took place in Um Salamoneh. As every week, the Israeli soldiers were waiting. Their number were equal as the number of demonstrators. The soldiers have their arms while Palestinians and internationals were carrying trees, to be replanted on the lands they cannot access anymore. We did not go very far as the soldiers stopped us rapidly. Trees have been planted there. it was all symbolic as for sure they will be uprooted as soon as we will turn our back. whatever. it was all about to say that again and again we were replant...
as usual, after a while the soldiers violently pushed away the protestors, and arrested two Israelis....see you again next week.
