During Nabi Saleh’s latest protest, tear gas canisters were once again fired at a group of peaceful protesters at head level, injuring a French and a Dutch activist. “The Israeli Border Police told me I was hit by a rock thrown by a Palestinian” says French activist Amicie P. “It’s crazy because it’s so obvious I wasn’t.”
