Unarmed American peace activist Tristan Anderson sustained life threatening injuries today after being hit in the head by a tear gas canister launched into a nonviolent demonstration by Israeli soldiers in the Palestinian town of Niilin. Troops regularly attack the weekly joint Israeli-Palestinian demonstrations against construction of an illegal West Bank barrier that cuts many villages from their agricultural land. In past marches four villagers ranging in age from 10 to 22 have been killed by Israeli fire.
Anderson was taken to a hospital after his brain was exposed through the gaping hole left in his forehead by the canister. Soldiers showered medics with tear gas as they loaded Anderson onto a stretcher and initially refused to allow an ambulance through. Several Palestinians were also injured when live ammunition was fired into the unarmed crowd.
