Israelis, Palestinians protest new Israeli-only road
Palestine-Israel, Politics, 12/23/2006
Around 200 Israelis and Palestinians marched on Saturday against the construction of a new West Bank viaduct that will be open to Israeli traffic only.
The viaduct will run along the existing Route 60 from the Etzion colony bloc to El Arub iHebron.
Among the demonstrators were activists from all the Palestinian factions, including Fatah and Hamas, as well as members of Israeli organizations "Anarchists Against the Fence," "Ta'ayush," and "Fighters for Peace."
The demonstrators said the viaduct, which they termed an "apartheid road," not only discriminates on the basis of race but will also necessitate the expropriation of land from the Palestinian villages of Halhul, Beit Umar, and El Arub, according to the daily.
The march set out from Beit Umar and ended in the El Arub school.
