Nobel Peace Prize Winner Shot by Israeli Army in Palestine

The footage shows Irish Noble Peace Prize recipient, Mairead Maguire getting shot at with rubber-coated-metal bullets by the Israeli army in an unprovoked attack. The Israeli soldiers opened fire on peaceful demonstrators in the West Bank village of Bilin on April 20, 2007, following an international conference on popular resistance (April 18-20, 2007). Maguire was wounded by a rubber-coated-metal bullet in the leg. After receiving first aid, Maguire speaks about the plight of the Palestinian people and the possible routes for remedying the woeful and inhumane condition under which they are forced to live as a direct result of an illegal and brutal military occupation.
