This is pretty horrific.

A group of unarmed Palestinians (and some Israeli supporters) were demonstrating this weekend against a piece of the separation wall that divides a Palestinian town in two. (This is one of the parts of the wall that was built to make life more convenient for settlers).

They march. The Israelis tell them to go home. They yell back that they are unarmed and just want to demonstrate (as they do every week).

They keep yelling at the soldiers (in Hebrew) that they are a peaceful assembly of Arabs and Israelis.

Then the soldiers fire tear gas and a canister hits a demonstrator in the chest. Watch the rest.

President Obama needs to deal with the settlements now. The whole enterprise is insane.
