Today Palestinians attempted to drive on the road from Jericho in the Jordan Valley in the Israeli occupied West Bank, up to Ramallah. As many of the roads in the occupied West Bank are reserved for the exclusive use of Jewish settlers, Palestinians found themselves violently blocked, and then arrested by Israeli occupation forces.

Haitham al-Khatib posted this video of what happened. People tweeted about the protest using the hashtag #CarProtest.

after having obeyed to unhuman orders, the day over? Their family life, the whole society, I am sure, will end corrupted. If it is this what Israel offers his young generation, the country will become victime of it's own crimes. No society can survive this for long.
