Taxi to Bethlehem, 40 shekels

Nonviolently Opposing the Wall

After worshiping at a Palestinian Pentecostal church in the West Bank one Sunday, I participated in this nonviolent demonstration against the wall’s destructive path.  This is part 1 of a 4 part story that shows the use of violence to repress nonviolent protests in the West Bank.  The sound grenades, or sound bombs, that were thrown at the men, women, and children in the march have caused serious bodily injury and have been lethal – yet this was the first response to this completely nonviolent demonstration.
