Palestine-Israel, The joint struggle really changed the world*

The failed arrest of 12 year old child in Nabi Saleh caused a million views storm in the media. This situation and the next Friday of the joint struggle demonstrated again how the involvement of the AATW Israeli Jews prevented in the past and prevent now the extinguishing of the non armed Palestinian struggle with rivers of blood. It was one shooting of Gil Naamati in 2003 in a joint action of the anarchists AATW that caused a real wide media scandal in Israel (which forced the higher commander of the army to visit him at hospital and apologize) that resulted in the change of shooting order about dispersing non armed demonstrations in the occupied lands when Israelis are involved. In addition to our helping to distribute the news, Our main contribution is the supply of "life insurance" to the Palestinians and even to the stone throwers in the demos.... though it is not perfect and along the years about 20 were killed and many more were injured.


Bil'in

Friday 21-8-15 Friday 21-8-15 in Bil'in. It started as usual with marching down the hill the village is located on towards the old route of the dismantled separation fence.
8 Israelis with the anarchists against the wall with dozens of internationals joined the village activists.
Just when we reached the valley the Israeli state forces started to shower us with tear gas. Taking advantage of the northern wind part of us moved north through the olive orchard to confront the other unit positioned there. After less than the usual 30 minutes of confrontation the state forces returned to their position behind the newer separation wall on the west.
We regrouped and we started a new march towards the last months forbidden area between the old route and the new wall.
It took a while to the surprised state force to return to our side of the wall and start shooting tear gas.
After a long confrontation we ended the demo and returned to the village.
Another week in a row I missed the tear gas because the northern wind and being too careful...

28-8-15 Border police came again for training in Bil'in Friday demo and arrested one activist and one photographer.
This Friday was promising surprises. The northern wind brought the hope the Israeli forces will not have an easy day. However, the 5 Israelis and two dozen internationals that joined the local activists could predict before hand that it will not be easy. There were more than usual armoured car waiting for us. There were border police which promised arrests...
As part of their vicious plan, they "allowed" us to cross the valley and come near them. Only then they started to shower us with tear gas. A unit positioned not far from the road as a kind of ambush was ready to get into action.
The abrupt change in the wind carrying the tear gas delayed the arrests for a while.
Not long afterwards the arrest were done and one long time activist and a young photographer were taken.
A moderate dose of tear gas covered for me the deficit of the previous two Fridays on which I was too careful.

4.9.15 It was just another Friday demo against the occupation and settlers but it turned to be a very strange one. Five Israelis with the AATW and bus load of few dozen internationals joined the Bil'iners. The Israeli forces came as usual the last few months to block our way to the new separation wall on the border of the lands given back by court order. They even positioned one armoured car nearer to the olive orchard at the foot of the hill so we will be within the range of tear gas shooting. When we passed the imaginary line, the state force shoot few grenades of tear gas and than stopped. Cautiously the more daring one advanced a bit but the usual barrage of tear gas never come. Even when the soldiers identified one of the shabab who was throwing stones, the just warned him they will come to arrest him - no tear gas, no rubber coated bullet and not live fire... just warning. After the usual 30 minutes of presence the state forces left the area and we declared another victory.

Nabi Saleh

Friday 21-8-15 Sarit Michaeli with binyamin police station with Bilal Tamimi and david reeb, arrested for
allegedly violating a closed military zone order while documenting clashes in nabi saleh. This has to be my lightest arrest ever, we still have our phones
on us! But of course the misuse of closed military zone orders to stop documentation of incidents in the west bank is unacceptable. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10206115156152162
"David and I refused the conditions they offered us, so we will be taken into custody until tomorrow night. We will then be brought in front of a judge
Bilal will be arrested until Sunday, and brought to the military court"
"With the news of the release of Muhammad 'Alan from administrative detention, Palestinian residents of Nabi Saleh, accompanied by solidarity activists, marched demanding the release of all political prisoners. 'Alan was on hunger strike for over two months, until the Israeli Supreme Court decided to temporarily lift his administrative detention order until his medical condition is clear. The IDF attempted to disperse the protesters using tear gas and rubber-coated steel bullets, and then proceeded to arrest three people, all of them were engaging in documenting the protest: Bilal Tamimi, a local journalist, Sarit Michaeli, Betselem's spokesperson and David Reeb, an Israeli videographer."

28-8-15 Palestinians marched on Friday towards their confiscated lands, chanting against the ongoing Israeli occupation. The IDF responded with tear gas and rubber bullets. A group of soldiers also ambushed the protesters, and while other soldiers diverted the attention of the villagers, this group began to chase after protesters in an attempt to arrest them. One Palestinian (19) and an international activist were thus arrested and taken away. An Israeli soldier tried to detain a minor (12 - with a broken hand) during clashes in the West Bank village of Nabi Saleh on Friday, but a number of Palestinian women and children managed to stop him. "Today the IOF attacked and arrested (the demonstrators) and they trays to arrested my son Mohammad (12) who was Injured two days before and shot his brother Salam 9 years old and hitting my daughter Ahed Tamimi and my wife Nariman Tamimi an they are at the hospital now" https://www.facebook.com/bassem.tamimi/posts/10206705088738165

4.9.2015 In the wake of events of the previous Friday and global media attention, more Israelis with the anarchists against the wall, internationals, and Palestinians joined villagers of Nabi Saleh in a show of defiance against the occupation. Settlers also gathered across the hill, in the entrance to Halamish, in support of the Israeli army’s suppression of the Palestinian march. The IDF attempted to disperse the Palestinians initially with stun grenades, then tear gas and rubber coated steel bullets. The soldiers also arrested five Palestinians, including the journalist. They were all released later in the day. Although several protesters were hit by rubber bullets, no serious injuries were reported.

Don't say we didn’t know #463

On Tuesday, 11th August, 2015, IDF soldiers came to the Palestinian village Jiftlik, in the Jordan Valley, to demolish two homes and two sheep-pens. The soldiers continued to Humsa, near the Bekaot checkpoint, and demolished a home and three sheep-pens there.

Eighteen souls were made homeless.


Sheikh Jarakh

Friday, 4.9, at 16:00 we will meet in the protest square in Sheikh Jerrah. Six years ago began the struggle against the evacuation of families from their homes by organized settlers, which manage to do so by an unequal usage of laws about the property following the 1948 war.
The successful struggle stopped any further evacuations in Sheikh Jerrah but could not do so for the entire city. The settlers’ organization discover new and awful ways to take control of more and more property in neighbourhoods like Silwan and the Muslim Quarter. In other places the city hall confiscates the lands that meant for development ; the separation wall was build inside the city to maintain an absolute Jewish majority.
In Sheikh Jerrah itself the trails about the different houses are about to be opened soon. In these days the tension is rising and the level of violence is again going up.
We will not allow the racist discrimination!
We won’t have privileges for Jews only!
We will not let the settlers expropriate steal and control!

Don't Say We Didn't Know 464

Many demolitions were carried out last week in the West Bank. Most of them were exposed in the media.

With the upcoming school year, I feel obliged to give voice to the following case:

On Thursday, August 20, 2015, Israeli soldiers demolished the schoolhouse that has been built in the Palestinian village of Khirbat Samra (in the Palestinian Jordan Valley, east of the Allon Road). Let it be known that in that entire area of the northern Palestinian Jordan Valley there is not a single school for Palestinian children now!


Don't say we didn’t know #465

On Sunday, 23rd August, 2015, earthworks for the building of the Jewish community Hiran, began. Hiran will be built on, and instead of, the Bedouin village Umm Al Hiran.

On Wednesday, 26th August, 2015, representatives of the government, escorted by the police, came for a day of demolitions in Bedouin villages in the Negev. In El-Za'arura, south-west of Arad, they uprooted olive trees and demolished a flood dam. In Kufr Ser, near Dimona, they demolished a home. In Bir El Hammam, near moshav Nevatim, they destroyed three homes. In Wadi Gawain, near Road No. 31, they demolished a shig (a Bedouin tent that serves as a community centre for men).
They demolished El'Araqib, yet again.
