murder in Bil'in

Today I was again with Fez and Yuval in Bil'in, at a demonstration against the wall. As usual, we are the road to the wall (or the fence) and gone before we were all arrived, we were well received already friendly with tear gas. About
since the beginning of the war in Gaza by the Israeli army is a new type tear gas grenade used up to 500m fly far. 5 weeks ago was hit in Nil'in Tristan Anderson (38 Americans) from 60m away from a grenade on the head and is since in Tel Aviv in the ICU in a coma. The Israeli law does is banned, the grenades to shoot directly into the protesters, but as some other laws also is that of the IDF (Israely Defense Force) often ignored. Also today was again extensively shot directly into the protesters, that is us.
One shell hit a man from the village, Basem Abu Rahme, 29, of perhaps 20-30m distance in the torso. I was standing about 10m away. fell as the shots I had turned myself when I'm again being scrutinized, was Basem bleeding from a chest on the floor. It took some time, pre-set to the Israeli bombardment. The soldiers had apparently no ambulance there and also wanted nothing to do on first aid, with a car he was driven from the "combat zone" and died on the way to the hospital in Ramallah.
A video shortly after he was driven away, it was clear that he is seriously injured, but not that he would die:

were at the demonstration today also cast the part of the demonstrators stones However, only 3-4 young people who were a little off. No stone has also taken anywhere near a soldier.
Tomorrow is the funeral and another demo, then I'll write more again.

Nablus

A week ago on the weekend I was with my cousin, who is currently on a visit there, in Nablus, the 2nd largest city in the West Bank. We have
Wafaa, a Palestinian woman who knows Roza there, visited and were a little out of it by Nablus.

Among other things we have seen parts of the ancient castle of Nablus, an old factory for olive oil soap, a woodworking shop, which was formerly a prison, a spice factory the Jacob's Well and the old town.
the way we were with Wafaa, her son and a friend of hers.

Nablus is in itself not very touristy, however (other than us, we have actually seen anyone who looked European, and we have already noticed).
Many of the really interesting old buildings in Nablus dilapidated or built over. The people we met there said, that this is by design by the Israelis because Nablus is to be not a tourist town.
