Commander just said that if the palestinian men go home, the detained will be released. Let's see if it happens in walaja

— joseph dana (@ibnezra) July 31, 2011

The palestinians and israelis have been 100% nonviolent. Not a single stone or anything thrown in walaja today

— joseph dana (@ibnezra) July 31, 2011

Would it be difficult to get 500 israelis to join this protest for social justice in walaja? #j14

— joseph dana (@ibnezra) July 31, 2011

One stone just thrown by a palestinian not with the demo. Soldiers getting ready to tear gas the houses in walaja

The commander's strategy worked well. As soon as he finished the sentence from last tweet, a stone was thrown. Quite amazing timing

— joseph dana (@ibnezra) July 31, 2011

The stone throwers were not members of the demo and came right at the end out of nowhere in walaja

— joseph dana (@ibnezra) July 31, 2011

The commander said to one israeli that he was working releasing the detained protesters. It will not happen now, they will go to jail.

— joseph dana (@ibnezra) July 31, 2011

9 people arrested last night in tel aviv. 6 arrested so far today in walaja

— joseph dana (@ibnezra) July 31, 2011

The demo is ending. The nonviolent demonstrators are leaving the palestinians that want to throw stones and want no part in the violence

— joseph dana (@ibnezra) July 31, 2011

https://twitter.com/#!/NabiSaleh/status/97580354348658688

The nonviolent protesters pleaded with the stone throwers to stop but they refused and so the nonviolents are leaving and demo is over

— joseph dana (@ibnezra) July 31, 2011

I am told that over the last weeks all internationals arrested in walaja have been deported from israel within 24 hours

— joseph dana (@ibnezra) July 31, 2011

One press photographer was detained by the army at the checkpoint and fainted because of the tear gas. The army then let him go.

— joseph dana (@ibnezra) July 31, 2011

The army threw a stun bomb at a house which did not explode. People are trying to sort out what to do with it now

— joseph dana (@ibnezra) July 31, 2011
