Heads up: Larger riot than usual in Bil'in planned for Friday
The 'Palestinians' have announced that Friday's weekly riot in Bil'in will commemorate the 'killing' of Jawaher Abu Rahma. Following the tragic killing of Jawaher Abu Rahmah as a result of tear-gas inhalation during the weekly demonstration against the Wall last Friday, the residents of Bil'in will dedicate this week's protest to her memory. The demonstration is expected to be joined by hundreds outraged by Abu Rahmah's killing, most notably women from across the West Bank, as well as representatives of Israeli women organizations.And they are trying to defend themselves against the claim that no one else has died of teargas inhalation.
Contrary to Israeli claims, Abu Rahmah is not the first to have died as a result of tear-gas inhalation. Already during the years of the First Intifada, Amnesty International had reported forty deaths from CS tear gas inhalation from December 1987 to June 1988 alone in its report "Israel and the Occupied Territories: Amnesty International's concerns in 1988" (published 1989).Well, there's a spurious claim if I ever heard one. Amnesty's biases against Israel are known, its report likely documented claims of the 'Palestinians' without independent verification, those killed more than 20 years ago may have been killed in closed areas, while the 'Palestinians' claim that Abu Rahma was killed in an open area, and even if it turns out that the report was true, do we know that the teargas used in 1988 is the same teargas used in 2011? Food for thought.
But in any event, Friday has the potential to be one heck of a 'demonstration.'

Just switch over to bullets and stop wasting useless tear gas canisters.
the border police have one day to get and mount digital cams on all their vehicles
it is important to show that the use of crowd control, only happens after the rock throwing begins
either that, or they should just stay far away and let the animals rage
and they are using 20 year old stats....from amnesty? total joke
note...they arent bringing out the story about the infant who died...that went nowhere
One can only hope Israel's security forces are well prepared to handle tomorrow's riots.
What the Palestinians are not seeking is peace with Israel.
Forget about that this year.
ShyGuy, as a first resort? Why not howitzers and flame-throwers? Or ... maybe the security forces can start with something a little less lethal but more effective than past measures and creepy-crawl up to the "good stuff".
Water cannon and area foam can disperse areas; might be room for helicopters to constrict Pali riots.
