Palestine-Israel - The joint struggle contribute to the shift in the domination within the Israeli capitalist ruling elite*

Israel was built mainly by the national socialists who owned 75% of the economy at 1949. Due to the dependence on imperial powers the so called socialist elite invested a lot in building the Zionist-capitalist elite to which it lost the power in 1977. The interest conflicts within the Zionist-capitalist elite started to change balance between the small tycoons section that supported the Zionist wish to transfer the Palestinians out and the capitalist section that integrated in the neo-liberal globalization who wish to exploit the Palestinians and the workers of neighboring countries. The restructuring of power relations in the global capitalism after the last crisis had its Israeli expression in the near bankruptcy of the Tycoon elite and the present collapse of the government coalition. The economic damage already resulted from the B.D.S. which is enhanced by the joint struggle seems to hasten the shift in the balance of powers.


Bil'in

Haitham Al Khatib:"Today's demo was dedicated to AL QOUDS. The participants were Palestinians,Israeli and ‪#‎Internationale‬ ‪#‎Activists‬.We all decided to march towards AL ‪#‎QOUDS‬ to put an end to WALLS and ‪#‎CHECKPOINTS‬. Although the soldiers were not violent more than usual,they threw hundreds of tears gas and bullets at us.
There were dozens of protestors suffering from it. "They intentionally threw gas DIRECTLY at me with a clear intention to cause damage to me.
EVERYONE who truly cherishes FREEDOM and JUSTICE should have the RESPONSIBILITY to denounce ‪#‎ISRAELI‬ VIOLENCE ,OPPRESSION,and CRIMES:
WE will never give up our STRUGGLE for our LEGITIMATE HUMAN RIGHTS!
Bil'in today - 9 Israelis with the anarchists against the separation wall, many internationals (including A French delegation that visited the village of Bil'in with Mayor Onglavil Mr. Jean Doris, the delegation participated in the march, as an expression of solidarity with the Palestinian People and Bilin village).and Bil'iners - in spite the "competing" demo in Qalandia, demonstrated west of the village. Though the Israeli state forces succeeded to block us from even approaching the route of the older (dismantled) separation fence, because of the strong wind from the north, they failed to disperse us though they showered us with tear gas canisters.https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10203186102714443&set=pcb.10203186109794620

Friday in Bil'in, 7 Israelis "Paying the rent" for the pleasure of immigrants who are living in Palestine... and 10 internationals joined the locals in the demonstration against the separation wall and occupation, confronted the Israeli state armed forces. As usual lately, when we just marched within the village lands, the barrage of tear gas started. Due to a friendly wind our way was only blocked but we were not dispersed. After about an hour of confrontation and a change in the direction of the wind most of us returned to the built area of the village.

Occupied Palestine, Nabi Saleh 21 November 2014
Nariman AL Tamimi, Asid and Basel Al Rimawi were shot by Israeli live bullets today at Al Nabi Saleh village
Nariman is currently having an operation in her foot, which was hit by a live bullet. Asid Al Rimawi 15 and Basel Al Rimawi 24 were hit by live bullets while the Israeli army was violently suppressing the weekly demonstration at AL Nabi Saleh which started from Al Shuhada square in the center of the village and was heading towards the village lands confiscated by the Israeli occupation.
tens of international solidarity activists and Palestinians from the village and the surrounding villages took part in this demonstration.
The demonstration was under the title (Jerusalem is calling) and aimed to mark the second anniversary of the killing of Rushdi Al Tamimi by the Israeli army. The demonstrators chanted against the occupation and illegal colonial settlements and for Jerusalem, Palestinian political prisoners an martyrs
Once the demonstrators reached the Israeli army checkpoint at the entrance of the village, the Israeli soldiers started shooting live and rubber bullets in addition to gas and metal bombs. Nariman was injured with a bullet (called Tutu) in her foot and was immediately taken to Palestine health compound. A 25 year old man and a 15 year old boy from the village of Beit Rima were also injured by live bullets from the same type (tutu)and were taken to Yaser Arafat hospital in Salfit. Tens of demonstrators were hit by metal-coated rubber bullets and asphyxiation as a result of the Israeli gas bombs.

Haim Schwarczenberg: "Marking the second anniversary to the killing of Rushdi Tamimi by the IOF, residents of Nabi Saleh, including Rushdi’s family members marched to protest his killing and the routine killing of Palestinians by the Israeli army. The IOF fired live ammunition, injuring three protesters – two from neighboring Beit Rima and another woman who was sustained gunshot wound to her leg and was taken to hospital in Ramallah for treatment." http://schwarczenberg.com/?p=1674

Ni'lin continue to resist Israeli occupation and apartheid 28.112014 - one guy, 21 years old got shot in the stomach with a rubber coated steel bullet from close range in Ni'lin, as clashes continued until 03:00pm, in spite of the several attempts to shoot and cash protesters, luckily no one got caught.
soon full report at http://www.nilin-village.org/
This weeks demonstration started like all other weeks after the Friday prayer under the olive trees that grow in the outskirts of the village of Ni’lin. As every week the demonstration proceeded to march towards the separation wall carrying Palestinian flags and chanting slogans against the wall and in solidarity with the Palestinian struggling at the Al-Aqsa mosque.

However the situation in the village has been escalating since June of this year Israeli soldiers were waiting for the protesters as they approached the wall. Before the demonstration had arrived at it’s destination the soldiers attacked the protest with tear gas canisters fired straight towards the protesters as well as rubber coated steel bullets. The clashes continued until three in the after noon when the protestors managed to push the soldiers back towards the wall.

Since June 2014 the Israeli soldiers have been attacking Ni’lins Friday demonstration near habituated house and sometimes even inside the village, chasing protesters with jeeps and shooting at houses. We believe this is an attempt to make the villagers condemn the demonstrations and thereby making them stop.

Many new tactics have been put in place to make the Ni’lin demonstrations come to an end. One such tactic has been to let snipers shoot protestors in the legs in order for them to be easier to catch for the soldiers. Since June of this year 13 protesters have been shot in the legs but so far only one has been arrested. The military has also been adding more snipers over the course of the months. To start with they were using one sniper during demonstrations but now that number has grown to three.

The Israeli military's treatment of Ni’lin and it’s villagers are aided by the fact that the town has received no media coverage in more than a year and a half. This has led to Ni’lin being a testing ground for new military tactics against demonstrations.

Friday 21.11.2014
The mad armed forces showered the place with skunk water including the non participants who came back from the olive harvest, fired live ammunition while aiming at demonstrators and cursing out loud at us.
Then, the village answered.
Already one boy injured by tutu bullets fired on the hundreds of resident protesters in the weekly demo against the occupation in kufr Qaddum.
Dozens of Israeli soldiers heavily armed firing and storming us inside the village, and the ppl stand defiant.
Amnon Lotan https://www.facebook.com/amnonlotan/posts/10152859008237037
Today over 200 local participants matched in Kufr Qaddum, along with a couple internationals and 4 israelis.
The army invaded the village on the main road early, with a few dozen soldiers, with gips, gas cannons, skunk and tutu rifles. In the first hour before and after the march started they were very violent, firing all the above all over the main street.
At least two were shot and treated for tutu bullet injuries.
About an hour or so after the march began, the soldiers showed more restraint, and began to retreat even before the heavy rain set in. This led to the ppl burning even more tires than usual, taking advantage of a strong westerly wind that blew it all into Kdumim.
All in all, moral was very high.

28/11/14 Blocking the Jerusalem - Jericho road
Nabi Mosa occupied Palestine, demonstration faced by huge number of Israeli soldiers and police, demonstrations called for the end of occupation, freeing jerusalem and the stopping of bedouin displacement in the area. --- Palestinian popular committees accompanied by international solidarity activists succeeded today to block the Jerusalem - Jericho road to restrict the Zionist colonists and soldiers movement. The peaceful protest was faced and suppressed by a big number of heavily armed Israeli soldiers of all units who used tear gas canisters and stun grenades to disperse and oppress the peaceful protesters and prevent them from blocking the high way.
The main goals of the protest were to shed more light on the ongoing displacement of the Palestinian Bedouins from that area (H1), to confirm that occupied Jerusalem is a Palestinian capital and Palestinian have the full right to enter Jerusalem city freely .

Don’t say we did not know #428

They are allowed to continue living there but are prohibited from entering the rest of Jerusalem.
The soldiers demolished three homes and an ancient cave used as a sheepfold.
Twenty one people were made homeless.
The next day the soldiers returned and confiscated tents donated by the Red Cross, following the demolition.
