Today, March 30, marks the twenty-ninth anniversary of Yom-el-Ard, Land Day. This day marks the "first act of mass resistance inside Israel." Six people were killed, hundreds wounded and hundreds jailed protesting Israel's theft of five thousand acres of Galilee land, declaring them "closed military zones." These people are protesting the Apartheid Wall in Bil'in, near Ramallah. Picture by AP Photographer, Muhammed Muheisen
