People were falsely accused of being violent when they weren't.

''For the past two years, Bil'in residents and anti-fence activists have been holding demonstrations against the separation barrier in the Palestinian village, near Modi'in Illit. The fence cuts through the village, severing it from about half of its land.

The prosecution claimed Borant had attacked a soldier who asked him to move away. Defense attorney Gabi Lasky showed the court a video that convinced the judge that the charges were false and that the soldiers had used violence, not the demonstrators.'

But let's talk about violence and how it's defined. Attacking people with tear gas etc isn't exactly non violent, though I'm sure you'll have a myriad of reasons to justify that violence...
