Art of resistance: Palestinians plant flowers in Israeli tear gas canisters — RT News: Residents of a Palestinian village have planted flowers in hundreds of Israeli spent tear gas canisters, to honor those killed during their weekly protests against the separation barrier.
The village of Bil’in, 12 kilometers west of Palestinian de-facto capital Ramallah, has recently become a symbol of peaceful resistance to the Israeli settlement program. Residents have created an oasis in the middle of the desert landscapes of the West Bank, and sown flower seeds in tear gas canisters, which they collected following clashes with Israeli police.
“We can make life out of these gas canisters which can kill people. We plant flowers inside these things,” Khadi Abu Rahma, a Palestinian journalist and one of the garden’s creators told RT.
