Court orders change to Israeli barrier
The Israeli Supreme Court today ordered the government to reroute the best known section of its West Bank separation barrier, dealing a symbolic defeat to the state after a 2 1/2-year legal battle that has turned Bilin into a flashpoint of opposition to the contentious structure.
Protesters gather every Friday in the West Bank village to protest the barrier that cuts villagers off from their fields, and symbolically to oppose the whole barrier project.
