Ni'ilin

Friday 23.09.2011 One demonstrator got shot in the weekly protest against the apartheid wall. Last friday demonstration in ni’lin, dozens of Palestinians together with a number of internationals and Israeli peace activists gathered in a peaceful march against the nearby Apartheid Wall. The demonstration was called by Ni’lin’s Popular Committee and started at 01:00 pm after Friday prayers under the olive trees in the fields.

The demonstrators raised Palestinian flags and carried a grave with “Good bye Occupation” written on it and chanted slogans condemning the last speech of the American president Obama who showed his full support for Israel and its ugly policy in Palestine.

Upon arrival at the gate of the Apartheid Wall, Palestinians, in a speech to the Israeli army, said that Palestinians will never give up or be scared by the Israelis threatening our existence and that freedom and justice will prevail someday. All the world is waking up and everything will change and Israel will pay for its crimes against the Palestinians.
The army responded with tear gas grenades and rubber coated steel bullets which caused a back injury to one Palestinian – dozens suffered from tear gas inhalation.

The demonstration continued until 03:00 pm

Tel Aviv

Vigil in memory of Ibrahim Zaza, 12 years old who was murdered by the Israeli-American killing machine in the Gaza strip Ghetto in front of the US embassy, Hayarkon 71, Tel Aviv Tuesday 20th September, 19:00. We were about 20 activists - mostly of the AAtW initiative.
Invitation: Tomorrow, Tuesday 20/9, we will hold a funeral/vigil for 12 year-old Ibrahim Zaza. Ibrahim succumbed to his wounds today after being severely hit by a rocket fired at him and his cousin, Mohammed (15), from an Israeli UAV (drone). The boys were were hit one month ago in Gaza, while playing on the street near their home, several meters away from the hospital gates.

The barbaric attack on these kids, which took Ibrahim's life, has been carried out with the absolute support, militarily and diplomatically, of the US - a full partner in crime. Ibrahim's death is a direct result of a murderous regime that disrespects human rights for non-Jews, as well as thanks to the overwhelming support for this regime by most western governments and primarily the American government.

REFUSING TO DIE IN SILENCE

A project of the popular comities for non violent struggle for monitoring colonialist settlers terror and sabotage - converging at Nabi Saleh Monday
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL7ez2_digo
MEDIA: Settlement Leaders Concerned Over Arab Patrols Following the announcement that Palestinians will begin unofficial civil defense patrols throughout Judea and Samaria.
The Popular Committees, a Palestinian group known for its involvement in protests against Israel’s West Bank security barrier, and Anarchists Against the Wall, an Israeli organization with which they frequently collaborate, have called for volunteers to man “several cars [that] will patrol the West Bank” in order to “quickly respond to cases of settler attacks.”
Participants in the “volunteer-based campaign” will also stand guard over local Arab villages in order to prevent price tag attacks by Israeli settlers.
Price tag is a term adopted by the extreme fringe of the settlement movement for assaults on Arab infrastructure and property as a retaliatory measure against the dismantlement of unauthorized outposts.
Mohammed Khatib of the Popular Struggle Coordination Committee commented that “if anyone needed further proof that Palestinians cannot count on Israeli authorities to prevent settler violence, recent events show beyond doubt why we need to organize to defend ourselves.”

Teams on the ground, which will be “composed of Palestinian, Israeli and international activists, will be directed from an operations-room in Ramallah, to which toll-free calls will be routed.”
Among the settlement leaders who have expressed their concerns is David Ha’ivri. Ha’ivri alleged that the patrol initiative was “another effort by the extremist left wing and Anarchist activists in Israel to cause friction between Jewish and Arab residents.”

Despite prior assurances from Palestinian police spokesman General Adnan Damiri that no forces independent of his command would be allowed to operate in the territories, the PA has come out in favor of the civilian initiative.

“This is not about any security functions, but rather about Palestinians, Israeli[s] and international [activists working] to document, in order to protect, Palestinians from settlers’ attacks. Therefore it does not contradict with what Damiri said,” stated PA spokesman Ghassan Khatib.

Day after day, year after year, the struggle against the Israeli advanced expansion, suppression and pressures on the Palestinians to transferred out of the region continue all the time. The efforts of persistence - Tsumud in Arabic continue all the years with scant portion of the Jewish community members join that struggle. Some of them join specific aspects of the struggles only. Only very few join the struggle whole heartedly with out reservation. The struggle against the separation fence initiated by grass root activists of villages along the route which was joined by the Israeli anarchists against the wall (AAtW) 2003 brought the non violent direct action mode of the struggle to the focus of the media - to a large extent thanks for the video photographers of the AAtW and the active steal collective.

When we arrived closer to the "security zone" surrounded the settlement and the settlers about 20-25 IOF soldiers were waited for us and closed the road so we could not went further up to the settlement fence. After some speeches we came closer to the soldiers and protested with some slogans promoting justice and end of the occupation (in Arabic and English). 20 minutes later we felt that the message delivered and we went back into the village, leaving behind the fully armed soldiers."

In spite of the sectarian desertion of the less radical "Solidarity Sheikh Jarrakh" from the Friday demonstrations, more than a hundred Israeli and Palestinians participated this Friday - including 10 with the anarchists against the wall who came after the Bil'in demo.


South of Hebron Hills


Walaje

"hi all, we are having a a demonstration on this Friday after the prayer at 13:00 in Al walajeh, the gathering point is the mosque at the entrance of the village. can you please spread the word and invite more people, this is especially important because we are trying to get more attention before the coming supreme court which will be on the 27-09"
“This village is a microcosm of Palestine” – al-Walaja fights the Separation Wall BY STEFFI UNSLEBER – SEPTEMBER 15, 2011http://www.palestinemonitor.org/?p=1805

The trees stood in the path of the Israeli Ministry of Defence’s planned extension to the controversial Separation Wall.
The machines work noisily in the background, clearing a path through the village’s traditional farmland. On both sides of the path lie recently uprooted trees. Al-Walaja residents claim over 100 were uprooted when Israeli workers entered the village in the early hours of Monday morning.

Al-Walaja is located four kilometers northwest of Bethlehem. Following the Six-Day War and the occupation of Palestinian territories in 1967, the Israeli government expanded Jerusalem Municipality’s boundaries to include some of al-Walaja’s land. The settlements of Gilo and Har Gilo neighborhoods of Jerusalem were established nearby in 1971 and 1972, respectively.

Sheerin Al-Araj, born and raised in al-Walaja, was visibly upset at the sight of the destruction and ignored the warnings of armed security personnel by moving to the lead machine. Followed by international activists, media and security personnel, her presence forced the construction work to stop.

After an hour-long standoff, several trucks arrived carrying Israeli defense personnel and protestors were told they had five minutes to clear the area or face arrest. Three female activists huddled together next to the digger and sang, “we shall overcome.” A female Japanese protester jumped in front of soldiers, raising a piece of paper, which said “No!”

Sheerin throws her hands into the air and looks skyward. “This village is a microcosm of Palestine,” she says. “Traditionally its lands were 18,000 dunams. In 1948, after Israel’s "independence" war we lost 11,000 dunams. Following the 1967 war we have had two settlements built, a by-pass road and now the Wall. We will be left with 2,200 dunams.”

According to a report in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, the Supreme Court of Israel decided that the construction of the wall was legal as long as al-Walaja residents maintained access to their land through two gates.

The court decided that the fence provides Israel with protection from terrorism and that its path should not be changed. Villagers object the decision and say that there have been no terrorist attacks emanating from al-Walaja and have appealed the ruling. A decision is scheduled for September 27.

Sheerin believes the continued construction – despite the pending court ruling – is a deliberate tactic to ensure the position of the wall.
“They are doing this now because they know that if the Supreme Court finds in our favor it will be deemed too expensive for them to alter the Wall’s path,” she said. “The village was able to prevent the Wall’s construction from 2007 until 2010 but work began again in April.”

The protestors were dispersed, forced by the Israeli soldiers to run away. They scramble up a steep hill covered in thorny bushes, as the nearby construction machinery resumed its dusty and noisy work.

Palestine-Israel, The joint struggle interwoven with the expectation for the UN show down

Though Israel is in panic, and many Palestinians are with mixed feelings - the joint struggle against the separation fence, occupation, and the suppression of the Israeli Palestinian continue. The struggle against the new wave of attack on the Bedouins - both within Israel and the occupied west bank continue. So is the struggle against the terror of the colonialist settlers against the Palestinian neighbors. And of course the struggle against the separation fence already built and in building. Special focus is in fierce struggle in occupied east Jerusalem - mainly Silwan and Sheikh Jarah. The main locations are: Arakib, Beit Ummar, Bil'in, Kufur Qaddom, Ma’sara, Nabi Saleh, Sheikh Jarah, Silwan, Social Struggle, South of Hebron Hills. The social struggle against the neo-liberalism continue in the various locations in both Jewish and Palestinian communities.

Beit Ummar

4 nice Jewish girls [with the anarchists against the wall] joined about 10 internationals and 20 Palestinian residents of Beit Umar in what was probably the shortest demonstration in the village history. 2 minutes and 3 slogans later, the general crowd was dispersed via extremely vindictive military use of pepper spray, aimed straight to the eyes of the peaceful protesters. 3 international activists were arrested and several others, both Palestinians and Israelis, were in need of medical care. Todays lesson, boys and girls: DO NOT WASH pepper spray with water. It burns like shit.


Bil'in demonstration 09-09-2011

About 20 Israelis of the anarchists against the wall and a dozen international activists joined the local village activists and a political party delegation from Ramalla in this Friday demonstration.
"The march began after Friday prayers from the center of the village and headed to the land that was restored and the nature reserve Abu Limon. Participants raised Palestinian flags and banners proclaiming 'Palestinian state 194' and 'the Palestine key to peace' as well as banners painted with the image of the captive leader Marwan Barghouti. They chanted the national calls for the end of the occupation, destruction of the apartheid wall, and steadfastness with the principles of Palestine. Upon the arrival of participants to the Abu Limon reserve, they walked along the concrete wall, set fire to tires, and tried to storm the fence adjacent to the wall. They addressed the settlers in the settlement of Matityahu East through loudspeakers, telling them to leave and leave the Palestinian territories to the Palestinians. During these actions the occupation forces stationed behind the concrete wall fired tear gas, live ammunition, and rubber bullets towards the participants. This led to the asphyxiation of dozens of participants and private network television crews present in the area".

Palestine-Israel, The involvement of activists in the Israeli uprising was in parallel to the joint struggle

The Israeli uprising included also the Israeli Palestinian citizens. Within the social justice struggle, the anarchist against the wall were involved mainly in the Lewinski tent camp that included the African refugees and in the Jaffa Jewish-Palestinian tent camp. We continued - though with smaller numbers in the regular joint struggle with the occupied west bank villagers in Beit Ommar, Bil'in, Qaddom, Ma'asara, Nabi Saleh, Ni'ilin, South of Hebron hills, Wallaje.

Bil'in demo September 2, 2011

Today, dozens of demonstrators suffered asphyxia during the weekly march organized by the Popular Committee Against the Wall and Settlements in Bil'in. Those participating included dozens of Palestinians dozens of international activists, and Israeli peace activists.

The march including 15 Israelis, few internationals and Bil'iners, began after Friday prayers. We started from the center of the village and headed to the Abu Lemon nature reserve located in the part of land that was restored lately after 6 years of struggle.

Upon the arrival of the demonstrators to the Abu Lemon preserve, we walked along the concrete wall and addressed the settlers through loudspeakers to leave the settlement and leave the Palestinian territories to Palestinians. During this, the occupation forces who were stationed behind the concrete wall fired tear gas at the participants. It also started fires in the land just restored. When the demonstrates arrived at the gate in the wall, soldiers came to our side and comrades confronted them for a while till we returned to the village.

An-Nabi-Salih 2-9-11

Some 60 Nabi Saleh residents and their international and Israeli supporters held on Friday the first weekly demonstration after Ramadan, demanding an end to the occupation and to the Oslo accords and peace processes that sustain it. The procession was able to reach outside of the village's built area and onto the hill that overlooks the village's spring, which is, along with the surrounding village's lands, threatened by settlers' annexation. Typically, at the time of the demo, these lands were foreclosed by the Israeli army and border police which began shooting tear gas from below and above the descending protesters. While the Israeli soldiers and police forces avoided for the most part from entering the village's built area, they did encircle that area and did not cease their habit of firing tear gas into that area, on and around houses, putting the village's population under attack and not allowing for peaceful demonstrating to take place. These measures were sure followed by clashes between the Israeli forces and unarmed civilians throwing stones in an attempt to ward off the military incursion. At a certain point the Israeli forces started shooting live ammunition above the heads of civilians. A few people were hit and injured by the many tear gas canisters shot during the long hours of a sunny day.
