International Activists Dispersed at Israel Embassy Protest in Jordan
(Jordan Times) Areej Abuqudairi - International activists from the "Welcome to Palestine" campaign were dispersed by Jordanian police while demonstrating outside the Israeli embassy in Amman on Thursday, protesting against Israel's decision to deny them entry to the West Bank last week. The police asked the activists to move to a different location but they refused, and when police officers arrived to physically remove them, some sat or lay down on the ground. The demonstrators who refused to move were placed in police vans and driven to the alternate site; none were arrested. Earlier, the activists demonstrated outside the French embassy to denounce France's support for Israel.
