From there they begin to shoot rubber bullets and tear gas. There are wounded, ambulances and private cars arrive to take them away and the group of demonstrators moves back. Small boys remain behind the carcasses of overturned cars and continue to throw stones. The situation is chaotic. We didn t expect it, and we quickly look for a place to be out of the way from which Gianna tries to film.
People are everywhere.
The boys collect more stones and then move forward to throw them. There are a number of TV cameramen who are filming. The person with us from WATC explains that these demonstrations have become daily appointments of protest which follows the same routine every day. We see this demonstration as a play which has been written ahead of time, a desperate form of resistance to the continuing episodes of violence, humiliation and injuistice to which Palestinians are subject every day. In the late afternoon we go to another demonstration in Jerusalem.
