Bil'in protests against the Apartheid Wall and the grotesque awarding of the Peace Prize to Obama

Obama's "real price" for the Prize?

"Those regimes that break the rules must be held accountable. Sanctions must exact a real price. Intransigence must be met with increased pressure" : When Obama opined those sweet words during his acceptance speech of the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, they seemed to be crafted with Israel in mind, but not a whit, just another Orwellian baa from the wolf dressed in sheep's clothing, yet more Prozac to keep us standing idly by in a soothing semantic haze marvelling at the Imperor's new clothes and his committment for exacting a "real price" for Iran's pursuit of nuclear power for peaceful purposes - nuclear "obliteration" perhaps.? (Hilary Clinton).

Not the case with the villagers of the West Bank village of Bil'in, I'm happy to report, for last Friday ably assisted by Israeli Anarchists Against the Wall and internationals the villagers highlighted the obscenity of the Nobel Peace Prize being awarded to a warmonger and in similar Orwellian fashion, rogue, criminal state Israel being described in the West as "The only Democracy in the Middle East" - a short visit here will quickly cure you of the latter delusion.?

Further afield, down in Hebron last Saturday, Israeli colonists as is their wont every week ventured forth from their fortified "settlements" at 3PM for their Garvaghy Road triumphalist "cultural" tour of the Old City shielded by heavily armed occupation forces and one "settler" tooled up with an automatic visiting intimidation and "democracy" at all and sundry. So it goes.
