Bethlehem Villagers Celebrate Wedding on Land Razed for Wall

by the ISM media team, January 26th

Villagers from neighbouring villages gathered this afternoon on the bulldozed land of Umm Salamuna to celebrate the wedding of Mohammed Brejiah, 28, and Sunai Abu Raiyeh, 25. The local men and children sang and danced Dabka while soldiers and settlers looked on from afar.

The villagers have vowed to resist the annexation and confiscation of their land for the wall and the nearby Israeli colony of Efrat, part of the ever expanding Etzion block.
