Protests in Solidarity with Tristan Anderson and Palestinians

Tristan Anderson, from Oakland, CA, was shot and critically injured in the West Bank on March 13 while protesting the Israeli apartheid wall. Demonstrations were held in solidarity with him and with all Palestinians under Israeli occupation.

She discusses the weaponry that Israel has deployed against Palestinians and international supporters, including live ammunition as well as the controversial high-velocity tear gas projectile shot at Tristan.
