Palestinian protesters have added a colorful twist to demonstrations against Israel’s separation barrier, painting themselves blue and posing as Na’vi characters from the hit film “Avatar.”
The demonstrators also donned long hair and loincloths Feb. 12 for the weekly protest against the barrier near the village of Bil’in.
They equated their struggle to the intergalactic one portrayed in the film.
The “Avatar” protest came a day after the Israeli government began rerouting the enclosure to eat up less of the Palestinian village. — ap
