Shame that the @IDFSpokesperson. Twitter is run by american Jews. They give the Jewish people a bad name. Shame shame shame on them

Follow @IDFSpokesperson to see how they lie about demos in the west bank.

BtS member attacked in Hebron now by settlers. Police watched and did nothing, until settlers suggested they arrest him. Which they did.
— Breaking the Silence (@BtSIsrael) June 3, 2011
After nearly an hour in nabi saleh not a single stone has been thrown. Perhaps there will be stones in the course of the demo but none now
— joseph dana (@ibnezra) June 3, 2011
Tear gas was just fired into civilian homes in nabi saleh. Still not stones.
— joseph dana (@ibnezra) June 3, 2011
A strong showing of non violence on the palestinian side in nabi saleh
— joseph dana (@ibnezra) June 3, 2011
Watching palestinian chant in front of soldiers captures the unsustainable nature of this occupation. The popular will is strong in the WB
— joseph dana (@ibnezra) June 3, 2011
It is a demonstration about human and civil rights of the people and that is difficult to crush anywhere
— joseph dana (@ibnezra) June 3, 2011
The settlement of halamish across from nabi saleh looks exactly like what it is; a large army base full of civilians.

Still no stones in nabi saleh
— joseph dana (@ibnezra) June 3, 2011
One building on the settlement is half military and half a kindergarten for the settlers. A civilian occupation.
— joseph dana (@ibnezra) June 3, 2011
Still no stones in nabi saleh but the army has brought in the 'shit water' truck
— joseph dana (@ibnezra) June 3, 2011
I'm receiving medical help after the military tried to arrest someone and we manage to stop them. #Silwan
— SJActionAlerts (@SJActionAlerts) June 3, 2011
Military retreated without arresting anyone. They broke the door to the house. They r looking at us from a roof top they captured. #Silwan

— joseph dana (@ibnezra) June 3, 2011
The skunk is a petro chemical the israel uses against nabi saleh often spraying the village water sources making them not usable
— joseph dana (@ibnezra) June 3, 2011
I have a feeling that they will use this device of collective punishment in nabi saleh before the day is over
— joseph dana (@ibnezra) June 3, 2011
Strangely the soldiers are leaving slowly the village. I am not sure what is happening
— joseph dana (@ibnezra) June 3, 2011

Soldiers have left the village and now they are on the outskirts
— joseph dana (@ibnezra) June 3, 2011
I did not see a single stone thrown in nabi saleh today. A triumph of non violent resistance in the face of gas and collective punishment
— joseph dana (@ibnezra) June 3, 2011
