Neta writes about their conversation.-AG]"

There is know way he could have thrown a stone at you from so far away, let alone a boulder.""

For years, Efrat settlers have coveted the land belonging to al-Khader, and, in recent months, settlers set down 3 mobile homes on a hilltop to "establish ownership". The Palestinian villagers decided to stage a nonviolent protest march today, and invited Israelis and internationals to join them..."
