Despite the snow and the closure of different streets in Hebron, the
activists of Youth Against Settlements managed to organize the annual
demonstration asking for the reopening of the Shuhada Street and were
also commemorating the massacre of the Ibrahimi mosque that happened 21
years ago

Before the friday prayers, Palestinian and
international activists gathered together along with local and
international media next to the Ali Baka mosque in the city of Hebron.

The
activists managed to get to the east entrance of the Shuhada Street,
trying to open the gate which was installed by the occupation to prevent
Palestinians from entering the Shuhada Street.

The ingenieur
Issa Amro said: Today, we are challenging both, the snow and the
occupation. Both closed our street, but the difference is that the snow
will melt away easily, in contrary of the occupation which must be
resisted until it ends. We will continue with our demonstrations to show
the world that the challenge of a Palestinian is not the weather. It’s
clearly the occupation

Today’s demonstration was lead under the
motto: The 21st commemoration of the 29 martyrs who lost their lives in
the Ibrahimi mosque.

Political ad produced by the Shomron Settler Council, which is an official Israeli government organization.  They released it with this blurb:

Dozens of radical leftist organizations receive millions
of Euros from Europe.  In the best case scenario, they believe that they
are leading us into becoming a more enlightened, polite and cleaner
country. Europe.


Well, for the Europeans, for the past hundreds of years you have been
good for only one thing.  The money that seems to you so shiny when it
slanders settlements and soldiers will at the end be revealed to you as a
unique self-destruction budget.
