A few images from day long protests and strikes across Israel/Palestine in opposition to the Prawer Plan, which will forcibly move up 70,000 Bedouin from their unrecognized villages in Israel into government-approved towns. This action is receiving international protest and condemnation.

Here's a video from Jerusalem.

Following a weekly sit-in in the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)'s courtyard by families and supporters of Palestinian political prisoners held by Israel, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) rallied outside as part of a national "Anger Strike" against the Prawer Plan, an Israeli proposal to forcibly displace 40,000 Palestinian Bedouin in the Naqab (Negev).
