Violence broke out when one Klan sympathiser, trying to distribute white-supremacist literature, got on to the protesters' side ofthebarricade and ran into an anti-Klan group burning a Confederate flag.
Some 20, 000 people who live on the Palestinian side ofthebarricade have become separated from their orchards, farms and groves on the Israeli side, with their future rights of access a mystery.
Most of its farmland will lie on the Palestinian side ofthebarricade but the village itself will remain on the Israeli side, exposed to the widening grip of Alfei Menashe, a settlement built partly on Dabaa's land and home to 5, 000 settlers.
