Palestine-Israel, Ten years of a persistent joint struggle educate Israeli social struggle activists*

On February 1968 The antiauthoritarian anticapitalist Matzpen initiated in Jerusalem the first (18 strong) vigil again 1967 occupation. Two years later, the Israeli Black Panthers activist who were in intimate contact with Matzpen members (mostly in Jerusalem) initiated the first social struggle of immigrants from eastern countries. Many of the present social struggle activists regards themselves as successors of the Panthers - many others were in association with or participated in the joint struggle of the anarchists against the wall. The 2013 wave is still much smaller than the 2011 wave of struggle but is more radical and confrontational. The joint popular struggle in the occupied Palestinian west bank is still fluctuating - mainly because the holding back of the Palestinian authority.

Bil'in

These last few Fridays in Bil'in

Over the last month or so, things have been escalating in Bil'in. Until a few weeks ago, two soldiers teams made to play sitting ducks over the wall in few points were the only reachable targets for the few shabab, who joined the non armed demonstration or preceding it a bit. The soldiers shot gas at demonstrators from behind the wall - some times in response to the thrown stones, some times even before the first stone was thrown. But for the last month or so, possibly due to an Israeli campaign to escalate the violence (using media outreach, lobbying and counter-demos), the army has been crossing the wall to chase demonstrators away, leading to more violent confrontations. Since the gas is usually enough to get most demonstrators to back off, it eventually continue with a prolonged confrontation of a dozen of shabab trying to stone away a dozen or so heavily armed soldiers.

This week, instead of waiting for us behind the wall, the soldiers had already been stationed half way between the wall and the built area of the village. The road that the demonstrators usually take was blocked, so they took a detour to reach the gate from another path despite fierce gas and bullet showers. One demonstrator was arrested when he helped a few internationals maneuver through the clouds gas. The demonstrator told the group to cross the route where the soldiers were stationed, and one of the policemen, who does not understand Arabic, decided that he was ordering them to throw stones. The demonstrator was released when the demo was over. In the meantime, soldiers kept pushing in, spraying rubber bullets at the shabab who were trying to make them turn back. That none of the bullets hit their target was a pure "accident".

We did two actions in front of the games in Teddy Stadium Jerusalem, and Bloomfield Stadium in Jaffa

In.: "On Tuesday, several Israeli activists including myself, went to protest the UEFA21 (football) championship taking place in Israel right now, and to call on UEFA and participating teams to show the red card to Israeli apartheid.
Each one of us drew their card for a different place, though this are but examples of the apartheid policies, for which Palestinians have called for the BDS campaign.
Mine was held for the people of Nabi Saleh."
"I'm pulling a red card for Israeli apartheid for the children of Nabi Saleh protesting for freedom and dignity, for the boy in Messi's t-shirt, kicking a tear gas canister instead of a football, for the girl who refused to run away from the soldiers, for all my comrades who love football but can't make it to the game. and for Mustafa and Rushdi that will never play again."
