Tristan Anderson from California, 37 years old, has been taken to Israeli Tel Hashomer hospital, near Tel Aviv. Anderson is unconscious and has been bleeding heavily from the nose and mouth. He sustained a large hole in his forehead where he was struck by the canister. He is currently being operated on.

Tristan Anderson was shot as Israeli forces attacked a demonstration against the construction of the annexation wall through the village of Nilin's land. Another resident from Nilin was shot in the leg with live ammunition.

Four Nilin residents have been killed during demonstrations against the confiscation of their land.

    Who cares! even if the Israelis completely destroy America with their lies to drag America into another world war, the Americans will never wake up or say a word against the Zionist state.

    Maybe the destruction of Israel is an option to consider.

    Certainly, the social structure of Israel as it exists now cannot survive. No matter how much land or resources they try to steal.

    Well at least they didn't run this one over with a bulldozer, I guess. They're getting to be a more heartfelt, caring Israel.

    The United Nations need to stop the Israelis from continuing their apartheid of the native Arabs. Some are Christian by the way. This confiscating of land is so criminals .Shooting protesters who own the land being stolen from them is perfectly legal.The Jews say "never again" but commit the same to others!!The allowing the settling in the Arab lands is an act of war.

    It's time to cut the Israelis off from US aid.It is time for the US to allow the hundreds of United Nation condemnations to pass. The US has been Vetoing the passing of hundreds of resolutions condemning Israel.

    Please read about this and don't be swayed by the pro Zionist news media.

    Gee...I hate to see Celine Dionys' obscure reference to a bulldozer pass without the full recognition it deserves. He speaks, of course, of the Rachel Corrie incident.

    Here's a link to St. Rachel in all her glory:

    Can you say "child abuse"? This is how Rachel Corrie and her ISM handlers brought the message of "peace" to Palestinian children.

    This is just rediculas. This is suppose to be democracy in the middle east? Isreal using deadly force, injurying and killing demostrators?

    Some of you rant on about sucide bombers and rockets being shot into civilian areas, but look at the horaneous misdeeds Isreal is commiting agaisnt the Arab. For what? Demostrating against their lands being unjustly taken away for Isreals greed.

    A Deadly Love Triangle
    Why Iran and Hamas Adore Darfur's Genocidal Dictator

    THE HEAD OF HAMAS'S POLITBURO in Damascus, Khalid Mash'al, recently telephoned Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir and denounced the International Criminal Court's accusations against him, according to an article that appeared on the Palestinian Maan News Agency website. The "armed wing" of Hamas also proclaimed Bashir's innocence on their website.

    Without addressing the allegations, Mash'al decried the submission of international organizations to U.S. pressure. He confirmed Hamas's solidarity with Sudan, its leadership and people "in confronting this new conspiracy targeting Sudan through its head of state."

    The Islamic Republic of Iran also defends Bashir. Last year, as international pressure mounted over the slaughter in Darfur, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad described Sudan as a second home full of "dear, pious and revolutionary brothers."

    Iran and Hamas like to cast themselves as defenders of "resistance." Indeed, both claim to fight for justice and the downtrodden. How can they defend mass murder?
