Palestinian activists organized another protest against the West Bank separation wall on Friday. Protesters dressed and painted themselves as the native blue “Na’vi” characters from the Oscar-nominated blockbuster film Avatar. One Palestinian activist said, “We are here Avatars and Na’vis fighting against the sky people who are taking away our land and occupying our people. Here, as opposed to Hollywood, this is real.” The Palestinian activist Ahmad al-Khatib took part in the protest.

Ahmad al-Khatib: “We do not expect that an Israeli court will give us more than what we have got. This is a small achievement and not enough. Today’s idea is to embody the film of Avatar, which is an imaginary film but won the sympathy of millions of people, while what is happening in Bilin and in Palestine is real, as you can see.”
