Last week there was escalation in the pressure against the Palestinians in chosen locations Israel want to transfer them from - in the south and East Jerusalem neighborhoods. After the first successful hunger strike of two Palestinian administrative detainees, the hunger strike of the 1500 administrative detainees is wide scaled and the demonstrations of support and solidarity hunger strikes are abundant. In addition to the weekly demonstrations promoting this theme, Ramallah and the concentration camp Ofer are the main locations with mounting confrontations between demonstrators and Israeli state forces. In addition to the social struggle within Israel that collect momentum, we had actions and solidarity demo with the African refugees. May 1st demo with a black block in it will start in Tel Aviv in the early evening.

The demonstration was powerful, and long. The police attempts to capture a number of Palestinians who did not do anything, but failed. Eventually they settle for one Israeli detainee. She stayed a few hours in the patrol car that was prevented from leaving the area of the demonstration. Finally, after hours of demonstration full of energy the protesters decided to let the police car go and take the detainee to the police station where she was questioned and released immediately.
There were several dozen police officers, to suppress the demo. They pushed, beaten, and trampled protesters, but did not used more drastic means like tear gas or fire of live ammunition.
The neighborhood made it clear this demonstration is only the first opening of the struggle to expel the occupation from Beit Hanina.

Beit Umar
Saturday protest, 28.4.12 "Our protest was in solidarity with Palestinian prisoners on hunger strike and against the Israeli occupation colonial activities in the town. One Israeli peace activist (K.) was arrested. Our main demands were: to Free Palestinian prisoners from the Israeli jails, to stop colonial activities, to allow the farmers to cultivate their land freely, and of course number one demand was to end Israeli occupation."
"I was arrested in Beit Umar yesterday for being in a closed military zone. The police decided to keep me for the night and take me to court on Sunday to ask for a 2 month restriction from the area. Thanks to the great work of Leah and the rest of the legal support the police were forced to reverse their decision and bring me to court the same night.
I finally got to see a judge at 1 am he released me without and restriction from the area." K.

Salfit village Deir Istiya
"Call to come to Deir Istiya, Monday evening... As already mentioned in a previous mail, 9 farmers of the Salfit village Deir Istiya received an order to uproot 1400 trees in Wadi Qana by May 1st. We visited Wadi Qana last Friday and were invited to participate in a meeting this Monday evening, to lay out a plan of action.
People from the village together with some internationals have also established a presence in Wadi Qana and stay there the nights and would really love us to join, specifically Monday to Tuesday night, i.e. the night before the expiry date.
We will be leaving Tel Aviv Monday evening at around 6. If you are interested in coming to the meeting and/or to spend the night, please contact K."
On April 25, 2012 nine farmers of Deir Istiya, Salfit were given orders to
uproot 1400 olive trees in the Wadi Qana agricultural area by May 1, 2012.
This is the largest order for uprooting trees that the farmers of Wadi Qana
have ever been given. Most of the trees were planted approximately 5 years
ago on privately owned Palestinian property. The orders, placed on
retaining terraces, rocks and fences in the vicinity of the trees, state
that if the farmers do not uproot their trees they will face punishment
which could, according to Deir Istiya mayor Nazmi Salman include large
fines and imprisonment.
On Friday, April 27, villagers and international activists will proceed
from the village of Deir Istyia to the Wadi Qana agricultural area for
Friday prayers and an educational walk through the valley. Internationals
and Israeli activists are encouraged to show solidarity with their presence
Meet at 12:00PM in the village of Deir Istyia, Salfit, where transportation
to the agricultural area will be arranged.
"Going with a few friends. We have been active in the village for a couple of years. We're leaving from Tel Aviv"
Tel Aviv
Tonight (April 25, 2012) at 22:30 15 activists intended to get into action in Rabin Square. As we seek to leave the office of Zochrot (remember - the 1948 Nacbah) we discovered that the police are closing around the building and closes all exits (from the main path leading to the building and a courtyard that connects the buildings). Staff officers on the scene made it clear that he is determined not to allow us to "violate the public order" and therefore not in and out.
Sieged near Ibn Gvirol Mane Street intersection, we were interned for almost four hours and were forbidden to go outside the building unless we agree to give the police force our materials, submit our identity documents and undergo interrogation that includes search in our personal belonging. It was made clear to the police by attorney Gaby Lasky which helped us (and a big thank you!) That they commit false imprisonment and that they have no reason to ask us to identify ourselves but they ignored her. Around 02:00 most of us were released, except three arrestees from the supporters who converged out of the sieged building and were reading the names of the demolished villages at 1948. "We work for their release" (They were supposed to be brought Thursday 20:00 before judge but released by court a bit earlier). On Sunday we will submit a complain for false imprisonment.
Silencing sailed this evening from Ibn Gvirol Mane Street intersection, towards new realms with the bitter taste of totalitarian regimes.
Israeli police blocked the exit from the event, claiming activist were planing to take part.
