JERUSALEM -- Despite the signs of progress, new violence broke out Tuesday between Israeli security forces and Palestinian protesters opposed to the separation barrier Israel is building in the West Bank.
About 45 protesters in Walajeh, a Palestinian village that straddles the outskirts of Jerusalem, lay down in front of bulldozers working on the barrier.
Oh, that brings up SUCH THOUGHTS and MEMORIES filled with TEARS!
See: Rachel Corrie Remembered With Love
Always. She was a saint.
Protest organizers said soldiers beat activists, including a 14-year-old boy who had climbed on a bulldozer. Mahmoud al-Araj, one of the organizers, said soldiers forcibly opened the boy's eyes and sprayed pepper spray in his face.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the protester punched a police officer.
Somebody say something?
Israel began building the barrier in 2002 after a string of deadly Palestinian attacks, saying the structure is a security measure. But Palestinians say the barrier is a land grab because it frequently juts into the West Bank, gobbling up territory they claim as part of a future state.

"Israelis raze structures in settlements" by Associated Press | April 28, 2010
JERUSALEM — Israeli security forces demolished nine illegal structures in West Bank settlements yesterday, including a wooden bunker that hard-line Jewish activists had defiantly named after President Obama.
Notice they MSM never says Zionist terrorists or militants?
Israeli forces also clashed with Palestinian protesters opposed to construction of Israel’s West Bank separation barrier. In one case, paramilitary border police wrestled a teenage boy to the ground, then fired pepper spray directly into his face to subdue him. The youth, screaming in pain, was then arrested.
Notice some BIG MACHINERY MISSING, folks?
Nine structures in Jewish settlements were removed, including a wooden bunker north of Jerusalem known as Obama’s Shack, Israeli military officials said. Young settlers threw burning tires at security forces in another location, and two people were arrested.
Yes, young settlers. You know, like harmless young fools, right?
The crackdown coincided with signs that Israel and the Palestinians are on the verge of resuming peace talks after a breakdown of more than a year.
So Israel will need to slow down on that end, 'eh?
PFFFFFFFTT!
