They are protesting against the route of the wall, which is their right, and have been somewhat succesful (even to the extent that the route was changed: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/Flash.aspx/150573.
Seems there is a chance, that if this gets up that non-violent protest might one day be viewed as a legitimate way of getting one's point across in the West Bank (who'd of thought it?). Finally someone with brains getting involved by the looks of it, I wonder if this will spread? Can't really see Hamas/Fatah embracing it, and I can't see the proponents of it using it succesfully against either, so unfortunately it probably is a flash in the pan (although I suspect the peace at any price crowd will try it again and again ad nauseum).
