Today Aug 26, 2011 in Palestine, the OliveRevolt March was planned: a march from all sides to the Holy city of Jerusalem. The march never started for it was dispersed violently as every non-violent demo in Palestine, mostly before it even starts.
Today the first “violence”, again was seen by witnesses who saw an Israeli soldier from a watchtower spitting on people who had gathered for the march. After prayers ended violence was initiated by Israeli Occupation Forces, some injured, arrested and many tear gassed. Also a reporter of Al Jazeera which was live on television suffering from an Israeli tear gas attack.
