ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)<br/> <br />STORY: Scuffles erupted between protesters and Israeli border police on Saturday as Palestinians marched through the streets of Jerusalem one day ahead of the 38th anniversary of "Land Day".<br/> <br />An Israeli police spokeswoman said that border police used stun grenades and rubber bullets to break up the demonstration. Four journalists, three paramedics and a boy were injured. Six Palestinians were arrested.<br/> <br />"Land Day" commemorates the 1976 Israeli government announcement to expropriate Arab land in the Galilee region, that resulted in a general Arab-Israeli strike and mass marches. The annexation of the land was seen by the Arab community as a means of altering the demographics in the Galilee in favor of Israelis.<br/> <br />In the 1976 confrontations between Israeli security forces and Israeli Arabs, six Israeli Arabs were killed.<br/> <br />Ever since, March 30th has become a Palestinian day of commemoration.
