Internationals, Israelis, Palestinians Join Festival in Suseya
The village of Suseya in the southern West Bank hosted a festival on Saturday, May 28, that drew well over a hundred attendees. Internationals, Israelis, and Palestinians gathered together to celebrate the village’s many proactive programs, especially their language exchanges.
The village offers Arabic courses to Israelis and internationals, as well as language-intensive, guests stayed with village families. The same organization also offers Hebrew courses to Palestinians and internationals, with the aim of increasing constructive interactions between Israelis and Palestinians.
The day was filled with speeches, kite flying, and Palestinian dabkah, as well as appearances by an Israeli samba band and clown troupe.
Bil'in
Two dozens Israelis and a similar numbers of internationals joined the Palestinian in the demo in Bil'in. The protesters marched, chanted, reached the wall, got skunked, and watched the army escalate its repression as kids responded to the attack of tear gas by starting throwing stones to get them out of their lands. Last week the army continued shooting massive amounts of gas, regardless of the actual presence of protesters, in order to start bush fires that endangered the olive trees. This week the demonstrators ended the demo early in order to support the local group in the regional soccer tournament.
Another take:
Today in the weekly march in Bil'in organized by the Popular Committee Against the Wall with the participation of US student delegation of American universities, one young men was injured, and dozens of people suffered from the effects of tear gas fired by Israeli soldiers. Dozens of Palestinians were joined by international and Israeli activists, The march began in the center of the village after Friday prayers. In the area above the wall, demonstrators raised the Palestinian flag, and pictures of the imprisoned Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti. Participants chanted slogans in favor of the right of return, and slogans calling for an end the occupation . At the eastern gate of the wall, Israeli soldiers fired a shower of tear gas;; they also sprayed 'stink' water, water treated with a chemical that gives it a foul smell that can't be removed from people's clothes. Among those injured were Ibrahim Bornat, 28, who was hit by a tear gas canister in the eye and shoulder. He had to be treated by ambulance team and then transferred to the medical compound in Ramallah. The soldiers also fired tear gas into the olive groves, with the purpose of setting fire to them. Fortunately, the people of Bil'in were able to put out the fire.

Jordan Valley
Ras-Ujah
"In the Jordan Valley, Palestinians are struggling just to remain on the land as the predatory settlements and occupation authority make everyday life an uphill battle.
The region is on the first priority for annexation by Israel, to separate the Palestinian from Jordanian state.
On 29 May, a group of Palestinians, internationals and Israeli activists joined the Jordan Valley Solidarity Project to help build a school out of mud bricks.
Nearly the entire Jordan Valley is under Israeli control (categorized under Area C). Lacking permission to even build a rainwater collection device, most communities suffer from a constant threat of home demolition. The day of action was about supporting Palestinians in the Jordan Valley to continue their steadfast resistance in the land. The Jordan Valley represents nearly 30% of the West Bank, and therefore is crucial to a future Palestinians state.
We drove through the rain to the beautiful Jordan Valley, made mud-cakes that turned into a school building, lunched with Palestinians, Israeli and international friends, and most impressive of all - didn't get sun-burnt".
