Quadum
"Friday the -25/5 about 200 Palestinians, 4 Israelis and five international marched in the weekly demonstration against blocking the main access road to Nablus - the county city.
Following the road blocking and expansion of Kdumim colonial settlement, excess to 11,000 dunnam (2750 acres) of farmland the village was blocked. Thus, the villagers appealed to the Israeli High Court and subsequently won their case. The court held that the road should be opened, but the army did not comply with it and declared the road closed for safety of travelers... (Strangely, the health and safety of the Palestinians became very important to the army...) Just after that step, the villagers began to protest against the illegal closure of the road. Like every week the army placed a barrier at the entrance to the village to block Israeli and other participants from out of the village to come to the demo, but we passed around it easily through the agricultural area. The demonstration began ceremoniously as usual, walked toward the soldiers who were waiting in invaded homes in the village near the road. It continued with shouting at the soldiers with megaphone, with music, and dancing. soon after that began an exchange of tear gas shooting and thrown stones in response. Canisters of tear gas were fired directly into the crowd and five protesters was directly hit by these and two of them were evacuated to hospital in Qalqilya. The skunk spraying car stayed by and made sorties from time to time to the improvised road block prepared by the demonstrators. When it could not hit the demonstrators, it sprayed in stead the houses and the fruit trees around it "generosity". At the same time, two teams of troops began moving from the hills surrounding the village into the olive groves and there too developed exchange of stones and tear gas. Some two hours later, the soldiers began to retreat pursued by the youth of the village with their shouts of victory and stone throwing.
After the soldiers exited from the area of the village back to the settlement of Kedumim, the protesters advanced up the road, burned tires as a sign of victory blackened the air of the settlement of Kedumim (the wind was friendly to us and took the black smoke directly to the settlement. On the road one can clearly see burn marks from previous demos one further than the other... it seems that every demonstration advance more and more forward and liberate another part of the road and also challenging the occupation soldiers. This time the youngsters reached a point very close to the expansion of the Qdumim colonial settlement and set there fire to the last tire."
