“I was hit with a tear-gas bomb on the side of my head and my back,” Dr. Barghouti said in a telephone interview from his hospital bed. “My scalp is injured, my right ear has problems, and they are checking to see if I have any spinal injury.”
The Israeli military spokesman’s office, in a set of Twitter messages and later over the telephone, said Dr. Barghouti had not been hit by an Israeli canister but had been attacked by other Palestinians. A few Palestinian witnesses offered a similar account.
...At the Qalandiya rally in the West Bank, a set of posters and a map put up for the rally showed Palestine consisting of all of Israel as well as the West Bank and Gaza. A demonstrator, Yusuf Abdulrahman al-Turk, when asked if he favored a two-state solution, replied: “We want all of Palestine. The Jews have no right to even one inch.”

Mondoweiss offers an update provided by Palestinian eyewitnesses including Jalal Abukhater that Barghouti was attacked by Palestinians.
In fact at Jalal's twitter account, there is an exchange between him and Budour.
"@Budour48 I'm deeply ashamed of what has happened, he just shouldn't have made a public hero of himself out of it by obviously lying!"
MaanNews reports that "A witness in Qalandiya, Jalal Abukhater, says Mustafa Barghouti was indeed the victim of an attack on partisan grounds."
Finally, here is Elder of Ziyon's take. Mustafa Barghouti was injured by Arabs, not the IDF.

Hint : Palestinian - nonviolence - Gandhi - Martin Luther King
Israel- opression, segregation, apartheid....
