9/12: Intifadat el-Hijara


22 years ago, on 9/12/87, after a hate-filled Zionist settler crashed the cars of Palestinian labourers on the Salah E-ddine main road*, who were on their way to work inside the Green Line, a mass movement against the Israeli occupation, an upheaval occured. This was just the beginning of the First Intifada of 1987, the intifada (upheaval) of stones or intifadat el-hijara. Hit them with the stones and... the kanader**.
