Palestinians Dress Up as Na'vi From 'Avatar' For Protest

Palestinian protesters painted themselves blue and dress up as Na'vi from Avatar in protest of the Israel's separation barrier near the village of Billin. Protest demonstrators painted themselves blue, donned long hair and slipped into loincloths in accord with the look of the Na'vi from James Cameron's Avatar.

Israel insists the barrier is necessary for the nation's security while Palestinians consider it a scheme to steal land.

Palestinian protesters parallel their endeavour to that of the Na'vi fighting for their land and culture drawing similarities to the plot of the #1 grossing film of all time as altercations with Israeli security forces often involve stones and tear gas.

That should bring a rather clear message across.

Typical - People who never owned the property they say was stolen. and were not a tribe or "people" protest the only people to ever bring civility or human rights to the MiddleEast (until G. Bush did in Iraq and Afghanistan) by doing what???? How do they protest? Oh, we stole Jim Cameron's/ twentieth Centtury Fox's property in an effort to protest the idea of stealing. Think about it... you have so little concept of right and wrong ,of property and theft, as a people - that no one in your ORGANIZED MOVEMENT puts togehter how IDIOTIC and amoral you will look when you PIRATE someone else's property to make your STATEMENT! THE THOUGHT NEVER CROSSED THEIR MINDS, JUST LIKE HUMAN RIGHTS DOESN'T!

Not a big fan of Hollywood but nevertheless this is still a lovely idea!   Tear down the wall and let the Palestinians back into their ancestors homeland!  Israel is about the most hypocritical concoction since the Declaration Of Independence and has no right to exist.  Christians, Jews, Muslims are all from the same hereditary line anyways.  We all bleed red.

Lovely, a crappy drawn-out movie being used in a crappy drawn-out cultural/land battle.
