PALESTINE – The Internationalist and Kurdish Youth delegation in Palestine participated in the protest for the village of Beit Dajan, which was occupied piecemeal, and shared their impressions.
The delegation witnessing the protest action: “As the Palestinian delegation, we participated in today’s demonstration with about 100 of our comrades as a sign of international solidarity against Zionism. As every Friday, today’s demonstration was responded to with tear gas and rubber bullets. Two dozen police forces brutally attacked the protest. Children and young people were shot with rubber bullets. One of the protesters, a 15-year-old boy, was injured and taken to a hospital after a tear gas bomb hit his head. Other demonstrators were also injured by rubber bullets. Plastic bullets are illegally loaded with metal fragments. Demonstrators and the press were targeted with tear gas by the fascist Zionist occupation forces in Beit Dajan.
Despite the attacks, together with our Palestinian comrades at the festival and around, we made a statement against the occupation and presented ourselves as resistance.”
