Hello everyone,
I have been back from Israel and Palestine for almost a week, and thanks be to God I had no problems getting back home.
There are some videos of the events I described in my blog. I will post them as I find them.
This is a video of international and Israeli activists being arrested in Hebron on August 14. It was my second last demonstration, and one during which the army was extremely rough with the protesters. Two ISMers, people I had gotten to know and respect, got arrested that day. One was grabbed by the neck, the other thrown to the ground and pinned down by the soldiers. One was falsely charged with "assaulting a soldier". The video shows pretty clearly where the violence was coming from.
The arrests were filmed in very slow motion. In a way it is good because it shows how these people were taken, a problem is that the sound was slowed down a lot as well and it sounds a bit strange in my opinion.
You can see me in the video wearing a gray shirt with green stripes, I was also yelling "what are you doing" at the soldiers.

Unfortunately my wallet was stolen and some of the videos I had on my camera were in it. I had one video saved on my computer, when I have some time I will upload it on Youtube.
