Israelis and Palestinians clash in West Bank on ‘anger day’

Clashes between Palestinians and the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) erupted after Friday prayers in several cities across the West Bank.

Euronews correspondent Mohammed Shaikhibrahim reported from the Hewara checkpoint near Nablus. He reported dozens of Palestinians throwing stones and petrol bombs at the Israelis who responded with tear gas, rubber bullets and “sometimes real bullets,” according to an English translation of his report.

Dozens of Palestinians have been wounded.

“Today is anger day,” said one Palestinian woman. “We are here to take revenge for our people and our martyrs, and to revenge from those who occupy our country, we are all men and women at the front line to fight them.”

A Palestinian man said: “Our message to the Israelis who occupy our country is: we will keep fighting them until the last drop of our blood, until we force them to leave us, we will do all what we can to achieve this.”

The violence has sparked fears of a new Palestinian Intifada, or uprising.

“We don’t know if its is the third Intifada or just a wave of escalating violence between the Palestinians and Israelis. Here on the ground, it appears that the path to peace between the two sides is a long one,” reported Shaikhibrahim.

" ' angry ' for more than 40 years now, and a whole lot of good it

Do you expect them just to shrug their shoulders, smile nicely, and walk away?

Would you be angry if you had your house, that has been in your family for generations, bulldozed to make way for a garden that an illegal immigrant wants to plant for his relaxing pleasure?

I'd be more than angry.

heres an idea why dont the Israelis retreat to the land that they gifted themselves via their control of the UN in 1947 and then i have no doubt that peace will reign in the region

Every day is "Anger Day" for Palestinian terrorists. The anger would be better directed at their own Arab leadership and the greater Arab and Muslim world which has used them cynically as pawns.

Now they're all riled up over a fake issue, the allegation that there is change underway to the status quo at the Temple Mount ... but that's a big lie and their horrible leadership promotes that lie and actively incites terrorism and murder against Jewish people ... any Jewish people, IDF soldiers or not.

No they didn't and no it wouldn't.

That is about right, about 40 years, but not more, since the first illegal orthodox (Dos) settlements in the territories, e.g. Elon Moreh. And a whole lot of good those settlements have done Israel as a whole other than garnering votes for the ruling Likud party. Perhaps you are too young to remember the days before the hatred spread upon the land, on both sides, when Israelis and Palestinians could sit and talk civilly together in the old Petra Cafe inside the old city and discuss issues such as the long forgotten Allon plan.
