An Israeli border guard restrains a Palestinian protester who was trying to reach tractors working on the construction of Israel's controversial barrier in the Cremisan Valley, which lies between the sprawling settlement of Gilo in annexed east Jerusalem, and the smaller West Bank settlement of Har Gilo, on August 19  in the West Bank mainly Christian village of Beit Jala. Israel plans to build its controversial separation barrier through the 170-hectare Cremisan Valley, which hosts a Roman Catholic monastery, convent and adjacent vineyards, on a route that residents say would cut off their community.     Photo : AFP
