Bilin village fights for its land
Before the 14 August demonstration began, a friend and I had a chance to sit down with Ibrahim Bornat, one of the lead organizers. After showing us the artwork he and his family make using discharged Israeli bullet shells and tear gas canisters, we sat down for some tea and began to talk about the current state of the demonstrations. As we talked, he showed us his scars from being shot with rubble-coated bullets, tear gas canisters (once in the head), as well as his wounded leg, which was hit last year with live ammunition "dum dum" bullets designed expand on impact.
