Press Release
Israeli Soldiers Attack Peaceful Demonstration
24 December, 2001


A peaceful demonstration, in which thousands of Palestinians and
around 100
foreigners participated, was met with  violence by Israelis when
troops in
tanks and armoured personnel carriers attacked them with tear gas and
rubber
bullets.

The demonstration organized by the Palestinian NGO network – PNGO,
was held
in conjunction with the Grassroots International Protection for
Palestinian
(GIPP), a programme whereby individuals from overseas visit Palestine
to
show solidarity with the Palestinian people, to learn more about the
situation here, and to also fulfil the role of international
observers.

The march left the Menara and proceeded peacefully to Irsal Street,
to where
the Israeli army has moved, refusing to withdraw.

The soldiers opened fire on the peaceful civilian demonstration,
using tear
gas and rubber bullets. Dozens of people required medical treatment,
at
least three of the foreign delegation and numerous Palestinians.

Matthew, a 35-year-old French participant, was completely mystified
by the
Israeli soldiers behaviour, "I don't understand what these soldiers
are
doing, and I certainly do not know why they are attacking a peaceful
civilian demonstration in this way". Others were also horrified, but
assured
Palestinians that upon their return home, they would tell everyone
what they
has seen here, and remain working with the Palestinians until they
had a
just and independent state.
