Israeli Police Raid Palestinian Protest Camp After Obama Leaves 
----------------------------------------------------------------


 
Roughly a day after President Obama left Israel, Israeli police raided a
Palestinian protest camp on the outskirts of Jerusalem. Protesters had
erected the camp on Wednesday within the E1 settlement zone, which
bisects the West Bank and cuts Palestinians off from their land. More
than 200 Israeli officers leveled the camp before dawn on Sunday.
Palestinian lawmaker Mustafa Barghouti said he and four others were
arrested. An earlier encampment on the same site was dismantled by
Israeli forces in January.
