PEACEFUL  ACTIVISM  IN  PALESTINE:  THEY  TRIED  TO  KILL  ME
Iyad Burnet
Sept. 6, 2015
Friday 28th August afternoon we went to our weekly demonstration, against the theft of our land and apartheid wall, in Bil’in. We have been doing this non-violent demonstration for 10 years.
____As usual the soldiers were waiting for us in front of our village . . .
____To begin they fired a smaller amount of gas towards the peaceful demonstration, but as the march continued towards site of the old segregation wall the soldiers ambushed us and held me at gunpoint, threatening to shoot.
____The soldiers tied my hands far too tight behind my back, the plastic ties cutting into my skin. Still with their guns aimed at me, I was brutally beaten by five or six soldiers with sticks and they bound my eyes with blindfold material soaked with pepper spray.
____I did not resist, any resistance against these type of soldiers would just lead to more of a beating or worse.

“ON  AMERICAN  INDIANS,”  BY  SALEM  JUBRAN
Flowers on the graves, America,
And dancing and songs on the remains―
There is nothing left but films
Films that make you laugh and cry.
My dead brothers, it is funny and tearful.
The farms of the colonists stretch across the prairie
Large, green, and fertile.
The noisy factories of the colonists’ heirs destroy the earth
And pollute the sky―
What shall I say, brothers?
Alas for your history!
And death for a civilization that lives
On destruction―and blood.
