Palestine-Israel, The joint struggle is not intimidated by the change of seasons

Another olive picking season is ending with its confrontations with settler colonialists slowly encroaching on adjacent lands of Palestinian villages. Accompanying villagers at the lands coveted by neighboring settler colonialists and the Israeli state continue - in addition to the regular weekend joint demonstrations. Anata, Beit Ummar, Bil'in, Ma'asara, Nabi Saleh, Ni'lin, Qaddum, Sheikh Jarrah, South of Hebron Hills, Walajah. Within Israel the Bedouins are in a much wider confrontation than Arakib. The Struggle for Social Justice is still fermenting even if not with the original intensity. The not predictable political storms of the winter that just begin are approaching.

Anatot

Anatot is not a peaceful, so called "quality of life" settlement, just five minutes from Jerusalem. Anatot is a settlement which regularly robs private Palestinian lands, and terrorizes the neighboring villages. As in the most extreme out-posts, also in Anatot there is a kernel of violent rioters who believe they are above the law.

The past month will be remembered as the watershed moment in terms of the right-wing terror who focused it on Israeli activist at the gates of Anatot. Between the burned mosques, the uprooted treed and the wounded activists, it has become clear that this sort of violence is a wide-spread and growing phenomenon.

The calling out are not only against settler-violence, but against a whole system which has let this kind of behavior spread and has backed it up. Since the beginning of the "price-tag" actions there, the police is systematically failing in investigating these events and the vast majority of investigations that were carried out ended with no persecution (read more in the Yesh Din's report). Throughout the past month we have learned and seen how the security forces turn their watchful eye away from such actions, in the best case, or in the worst case, actively participate in them.

A protest vigil in Anatot, Friday, 11/11/11, 13:00.

Bil'in

Friday 11-11-11 was another demo in the chain of about 350 demonstrations against the separation/robbery wall/fence and occupation organized by the Popular Committee Against the Wall and Settlements in Bil'in with the anarchists against the wall initiative. At noon, about 10 Israelis, 20 international activists (including an Irish and a Brazilian delegations), and few dozens Palestinians marched towards the new separation wall. (The older separation fence was dismantled in June after 6 years of struggle - returning about third of the robbed lands of the village). Along the the march, participants carried flags and chanted for the departure of the occupation, destruction of the apartheid wall, freedom and rights for Palestinian prisoners.

Upon our arrival to the Abu Lemon nature reserve, some local participants were able to remove some of the barbed wire and iron posts that blocked us from touching the separation wall. Then The soldiers behind the concrete wall shot tear gas canisters and rubber bullets toward the demonstrators, which caused an injury to a Brazilian activist who was transported by Ambulance to Ramallah hospital. It also caused various levels of suffocation to many of the participants - some of them were treated during the demo.

Nabi Saleh

Dozens participated in this week's demonstration in Nabi Saleh, this time commemorating the seventh anniversary to Arafat's assassination by Israel. Nabi Saleh residents, other Palestinians, and international and Israeli supporters marched peacefully from the center of the village on the main road leading towards Ramallah. Israeli forces used their “skunk” track, carrying a foul-smelling water cannon, to attack the demonstrators. This followed shortly by volleys of tear gas projectiles. After a while, the entire area close to the soldiers smelled from the “skunk” and they retreated. At this point demonstrators started descending towards the village's spring, taken by settlers. The Israeli army shot tear gas and rubber-coated bullets at the descending crowd. It then deepened its incursion into the village, taking over rooftops and the village's center, shooting tear gas and rubber-coated bullets at passers-by, including children. More then ten people were injured, including an eleven year old who was shot in the chest and an organizer from the village, who was shot in the face and rushed to a near-by hospital. A local photographer was detained for a few hours. He was blindfolded and cuffed with his hands behind his back.

Another take:

"A peaceful protest in the village of Nabi Saleh was attacked with tear-gas from afar today by Israeli soldiers, as protesters tried to march to their lands adjacent to the Jewish-only settlement of Halamish. Following the attack on the peaceful procession, clashes ensued between soldiers and local youth.

The soldiers shot volleys of tear-gas projectiles into the crowd, as well as rubber-coated bullets, causing injuries to at least ten protesters, among them an eleven year-old who was hit by a rubber-coated bullet to the chest and suffers a suspected fracture to the rib. An organizer from the village was hit in the face by a rubber-coated bullet shot from close range and was evacuated to the hospital.

Bilal Tamimi, a local cameraman and a volunteer with the B'Tselem Shooting Back documentation project, was arrested by soldiers as he was filming the demonstration. He was blindfolded, cuffed with his hands behind his back and taken to the military base in the adjacent settlement of Halamish. Currently, soldiers have taken over the center of the village and are patrolling its streets."

Walajah

Friday the 4th of November -

After meeting outside the second mosque about 20 villagers, a number of Israeli and a few international activists walked to the entrance of the illegal Har Gilo settlement. There we stood chanting and a few speeches were given. After the head of security for the Har Gilo settlement came down and saw us with a Border Police van they were joined by the arrest van, another jeep and a police van. We were then joined by another car of Israeli activists. There was a basic stand-off while the army it seemed were waiting for us to do something. If we had crossed an arbitrarily imaginary line then there would have been action. Two sets of soldiers spread out on either side of us; one on the road to Jerusalem and one to the left of us. After an hour we left and those that wanted went on a tour with Shireen. Pictures from the day can be found here : http://www.flickr.com/photos/activestills/sets/72157602013963483/

Friday the 11th of November -

We waited outside the mosque at 1230 - two Israelis, three internationals, a member of active stills and a villager. When it was clear that there was not going to be a demonstration and after some debating we went to the house of a friend and sat in her court yard where we were joined by Mazin Qumsiyeh. Mazen shared with us his interesting and mostly amusing stories from the Flotillas and his experiences in Turkey and Cario. Some he has written about and others we were lucky to be privy to. You can find more about it here - http://popular-resistance.blogspot.com/ He also discussed the history of uprising in Palestine and this led him to mentioning a Popular Committee meeting scheduled for Saturday night. They will be discussing the rises and falls in uprisings, what actions can take place in the lulls and how they as Popular Committees can better organize and mobilize. He also mentioned to me their desire to arrange a meeting for and with Israeli activists. Just a heads up....

Palestine-Israel, Another week of joint struggle

The Media was busy regurgitating the acceptance of Palestine as full member in UNESCO. The happiness for the hundreds released in the Gilad transaction was still fresh, but the settler colonialist onslaught the Palestinian olive pickers and the Israeli activists that joined them was more intense than in previous years but state force had not show more than minimal intervention... and mostly on the side of the settlers. The consistent struggle at Bet Ummar, Bil'in, Ma'asara, Nabi Saleh, Ni'ilin, Qaddum, Sheikh Jarrah, Southern Hebron Hills, Al Walaja. The social struggle continue, in spite the tendency of the student organization to bargain for specific subjects instead of the struggle against the neo-liberalism piggery as a system to replace.

Akraba

The thirties time the villages meager dwelling were destroyed. The whole Bedouin population is in expended struggle as the eviction of tens of thousands is on the agenda in a renewed efforts of Israel to rob half of the lands not robbed yet, and relocate the victims.

Beit Ummar

In the Hebron-area village of Beit Ummar, Saturday’s demonstration was held in protest of the arrest of local activist Yousef Abu Maria. Abu Maria, a member of the Beit Ummar Popular Committee, was detained during a night raid that took place in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Bil'in

At noon, about dozen Israelis, two dozen internationals and similar number of Bil'iners participated in the 347th Friday demonstration against the separation fence and occupation. We chanted along the way to the new separation wall and when we arrived started the usual ritual: First, calls towards the few state force armed tugs, then a touch of the spools of barbed wire blocking the approach to the wall, than a kid threw some stones on the wall that served as an excuse for the soldiers to throw and shoot of us a salvo of tear gas canisters, then more touching and more trowing and even entering between the barbed wire and the wall.

The time passed slowly, the amount of tear gas increased and the strong wind changed direction frequently... as a result most demonstrators reached the limit of tolerance, and we returned to the village.

The non-violent demonstration in the Nablus-area village of Qudum on Saturday was also attacked by Israeli soldiers with tear gas, sound bombs and rubber coated steel bullets. During the demonstration--which drew some 250 Palestinian, Israeli and international activists--the leg of a Palestinian activist was broken after he was hit by a tear gas grenade.

Nabi Saleh

Dozens participated in this week's demonstration in Nabi Saleh against the Israeli occupation and settlements. Nabi Saleh residents, other Palestinians, and international and Israeli supporters wore “Freedom Flotilla” ribbons to salute the Freedom Waves to Gaza flotilla activists in their attempt to break the Israeli naval siege on Gaza.

Slightly after noon, a peaceful procession started at the center of the village and headed towards the village farmlands and spring, taken over by settlers. Israeli forces blocked the protesters from approaching the spring, shooting masses of tear gas from two different locations at the protesters. Two men were injured due to gas inhalation and required medical attention.

From then on demonstrators kept going back and forth on the village's main road towards the exit, blocked by Israeli forces. Others threw stones to ward off the army incursion. The army used a foul-smelling water cannon, rubber coated steel bullets and tear gas projectiles. Both the bullets and projectiles were shot indiscriminately and directly at protesters, sometimes at a pace of about a dozen at once, using automated cannons. As a result, more than a dozen were lightly injured. One protester required medical treatment and was taken to a hospital, after his finger was hit and broken by a rubber-coated bullet.

By the day's end, and for no apparent reason other than the well-known Israeli army habit to provide “practice” for its soldiers on the expense of struggling Palestinian communities, four Israeli jeeps entered the village and circled inside it, stones hurled at them throughout. At a certain point Israeli soldiers also hid behind a military tower, leaving the road clear, and then reappeared chasing nearing protesters. One Palestinian photographer was beaten while his arms were raised in the air and then arrested.

Al Walaja

Al Walaja Fights Back Illegal Construction of the Wall

In recent weeks, there have been significant legal developments concerning the Al Walaja residents’ legal efforts to challenge the route of the Wall, which could effectively encircle Al Walaja and confiscate more privately-owned Palestinian land.

Post a Comment

Al Walaja Demonstration against the Wall. Picture Credit: Anne Paq/ Activestills

The Friday demonstration was joined by several dozen residents and supporters from Israel and abroad. The protests took place near the gates of Har Gilo settlement, which is located literally on the top of Al Walaja, overlooking the village. During the protest, demonstrators sang songs and chanted slogans against the Wall and land confiscation. Near the end of the demonstration, while protesters were making their way back into the village, they were followed by two military jeeps who tried to provoke and incite violence. This attempt, however, was quite unsuccessful, and the demonstration dispersed peacefully. The local popular committee promised to maintain and expand the struggle in the coming critical weeks, as construction works are being renewed.

A similar demonstration also took place in the neighboring village of Al Ma'asara, where some 100 residents and activists flew kites and played ball games. The demonstration was blocked by the army however no injuries or arrests were reported.

Al Walaja, with a population of approximately 2,000 residents, is located north-west of Bethlehem and south-west of Jerusalem. In a recent decision regarding the western section of the Wall, (on the ‘West Bank’ side), the Israeli High Court lifted an interim injunction that had managed to stop work on the Wall in that area since 28 December 2010. On a positive note, the judgment confirmed a partial change in the route of the Wall, keeping an ancient water spring and a cemetery within the ‘West Bank’ side of the Wall. However, the decision also rejected another proposed change to the Wall’s path, which means that a large area of agricultural land owned by residents of Al Walaja will remain on the ‘Jerusalem’ side of the Wall, accessible only by agricultural gates and a permit system. Construction of the Wall continues although legal procedures are not exhausted.

Residents have raised a number of critical legal concerns in their appeal against the Wall: the wall will highly impede residents' access to their lands, the fact that lands were expropriated without necessary court orders and that construction persisted despite court deliberations without any security justification. Furthermore, at least in one part of the planned route of the Wall, a house will be completely encircled. At the same time, the expansion of the nearby settlement continues, proving beyond doubt that the main motivation for building the Wall is to advance Jewish settlements on Palestinian lands. For further reading see a detailed legal briefing on the situation in Al Walaja.

Palestine-Israel, The joint struggle continue with intensified confrontations

The settler colonialists intensify their assaults both in the occupied west bank and within Israel. The olive pickers are assaulted by settler colonialists with partial backing of state forces in spite of the participation of Israeli activists. International support for Palestinian state alarm the settlers and their reprisals are channeled against the Palestinians. The social struggle against the neoliberal capitalist piggery continue and the state try to divert attention by intensifying the terror on the Gaza strip. In spite half split in the social struggle as the students leadership try to pull it to the parliament quagmire, Nearly 100,000 marched and converged Saturday night in the town square of Tel Aviv for a long gathering with speeches and entertainment by artists of the top. The locations of joint struggle against the separation fence and occupation were as usual.

Bil'in

Friday 28 Oct demo was similar to other "regular" ones. No special theme, no special political guests from Ramalla, no special international delegation... Just 15 Israelis with the anarchists against the wall initiative with similar number of internationals joined few dozen people of Bil'in at noon, in the long march towards the separation wall with Palestinian flags, and a large banner painted with the images of the martyrs Basem and Jawaher Abu Rahma - both killed by the army while participating in a Friday demonstration, and the usual chants, (with an added one for the release of Ashraf Abu Rahmah - brother of the two martyrs, arrested at the previous demo whom the Military Court Orders the Indefinite Remand, on a trumped up stone-throwing charge. This despite testimonies and video evidence to the contrary. Ashraf is the brother of Bassem and Jawaher Abu Rahmah, both killed by the army while demonstrating peacefully in Bil'in). On the way, near the location of the demolished separation fence, we have seen the the renewed memorial tomb for Basem who was murdered there with a tear gas canister.

When we arrived at the separation wall - bordering the Abu Lemon oaks groove preserve, we have seen the Israeli soldiers who were looking on us from behind the wall - waiting a bit for a good excuse for showering us with tear gas. After a short time when we were chanting, but no one was throwing stones, they availed to the excuse that the spools of barbed wire "protecting the wall" were touched and they started the tear gas shower. First we retreated a bit, but as the wind was blowing along the wall strong enough, after a while it dispersed the tear gas and we returned... to repeat it in respond to following volleys - till the end of the demonstration was declared.

Not far away, at the end of the fence of spools of barbered wire, some participants managed to remove some of the barbed wire and iron rods.

Issa Mahmoud Abu Rahma, a 41 year old resident of Bil'in, was wounded on his right hand by a tear gas canister. Dozens of participants suffered various levels tear gas effects.

Ma’asara

Friday 28 October 2011 - New Israeli military tactic: Head butting

The Israeli military violently obstructed a peaceful demonstration against the Israeli separation wall in Al-Ma’sara, near Bethlehem, today.

Around 25 Palestinians and a similar number of international observers and some Israeli activists marched from the village at 12:20 PM today and attempted to reach olive groves on Palestinian land just outside of Al-Ma’asara in time for this year’s olive harvest. A line of thirteen soldiers, backed by reinforcements in three armored vehicles, pushed and shoved protesters, including a small Palestinian boy, in order to prevent them from leaving the village.

As demonstrators attempted to walk around the line of soldiers, one officer snatched a Palestinian flag from a protester and then head-butted him.

Mahmoud Alaaelddin, President of Al-Ma’sara local council and member of the Popular Resistance Committee, said “Every Friday we try to go to our land and the soldiers always prevent us from going. They don’t care if there are children at the demonstration; they use more and more violence every Friday.”

After being prevented from peacefully marching to Palestinian land, protesters chanted, sang and remonstrated with the Israeli military for around 30 minutes. The protest dispersed at 1:00 PM, with Mahmoud Zawahra, member of Al-Ma’asara’s Popular Committee of Resistance, alerting the soldiers of their continued persistence.

“Next Friday we will come with more people and we will fly kites with Palestinian flags. And for the hundredth time we tell you – you are not welcome here. You are killers and occupying forces,” he said.

Around five minutes after today’s protest ended, a small group of Palestinian youths threw stones at the military, who responded by firing a tear gas canister, causing billowing gas to enter a house and garden at the edge of Al-Ma’asara.

Demonstrations take place in the village every Friday in protest against the separation wall – illegal under international law – which has been used by the Israeli military to expropriate much of the village’s land since 2005. Work had ceased on the wall near Al-Ma’asara in 2008 after an Israeli court ruling, but it is scheduled to re-commence on 1 January 2011.

If completed, the barrier will expropriate more Palestinian land and will result in the closure of the main road that links Al-Ma’asara to nearby cities in the West Bank. Al-Ma’sara residents will be forced to take alternative routes, tripling the length of time it takes to drive from the village to Bethlehem or Hebron.

Alaaeldin says that over the past few years Israeli soldiers have come into the village late at night before the Friday’s protest; forcing entire families – including children – to stand in the cold, often for 2-3 hours.

According to Alaaeldin, the Israeli military “wants people to be afraid [to protest]. They say ‘we will arrest you, we will kill you ‘but more people come to the demonstrations and refuse to be scared.”

The Israeli military has not carried out such incursions into the village for three months, but Alaaeldin is concerned that they may start again as soldiers have taken advantage of the cold winter nights to harass people in previous years.

This week we will accompany Palestinians farmers and shepherds to their lands in several locations in South Hebron hills. Harassment of Palestinian farmers and shepherds in the area by both settlers and the army continues.

This coming Saturday, October 29 , we need as many activists as possible to accompany them and stand up for their rights. There is a direct link between the number of activists who come to accompany the farmers and their ability to harvest and work their lands.

Palestine-Israel, The joint struggle of grass root communities is part of the resistance to the continuous robbery of Palestine.

The local struggle of the villages against the crawling occupation frustrate the striving of Israel to take over all the areas around the Palestinian towns and leaving the towns and cities as separated islands. The picking of the olive trees open many battle arenas where settler colonialists are encouraged by the Israeli state to expand the areas around them "clean of Palestinians". The anarchists against the wall and other radical Israelis share with the Palestinian partners some of the injuries inflicted by settlers while state forces prefer a neutral position. Anata was the bloody arena at the beginning of the month. In addition to the accompanying farmers to fields and olive trees we participated in the usual location of week end demonstrations: Beit Ummar, Bil'in, Ma'asara (where they celebrated the 5 year anniversary), Ni'ilin, and Qaddoum (which joined for persistent struggle 4 months ago).

Beit Ummar

Bil'in

"Last week: Some 20 Israelis and over 30 internationals, including a Basque delegation, joined the weekly Palestinian demo against the wall, land-grab and occupation in Bil’in. The protesters marched from the old route of the wall to the new route, where the soldiers demanded that they retreat. The demonstrators started retreating in order to have a few peaceful minutes of protest, but the army started shooting gas. The shabab took their posts in the Southwest corner of the Abu Lamun oak grove, and the usual exchange of stones for gas and rubber bullets ensued. The soldiers made a point of shooting also the peaceful demonstrators at the back, and shooting at protesters who were trying to put down fires that spread into the few olive trees that hadn’t been uprooted and stolen before the wall was moved. An Israeli demonstrator called the Israeli fire brigade (the site being area C), but they did not come to the rescue."

"This week: Some 20 Israelis and about 10 internationals joined the weekly Palestinian demo for freedom, peace and Tsumud in Bil’in. The protesters, led by the new Libyan flag, marched to the new route of the wall, where the soldiers welcomed them with gas. The demonstrators moved upwind, eastward along the wall, where a handful of Shabab held their impromptu fort for about an hour. Since the spot was hard to hit, the soldiers retaliated by shooting canisters into the oak grove downwind behind the shabab, setting fire to some rare and ancient oaks. When the demonstrators were heading back, the soldiers decided to have the last word and crossed the gate. The shabab were swift to disappear, leaving behind peaceful Israeli, international and Palestinian demonstrators.

In line with apartheid rules, the soldiers jumped and arrested Ashraf Abu Rahme (brother of Bassem and Jawaher, the two unarmed and nonviolent demonstrators killed by the Israeli army in Bil’in during Friday demonstrations, himself shot in his foot by soldiers while arrested, bound and blindfolded at Ni'ilin demo). He was arrested under the false pretext of throwing stones (while he is a person whom I’ve never seen as much as pick up a stone to throw in the hundred or so demonstrations I’ve been to in Bil’in). His true crime: he didn’t run away from the soldiers like the kids who did throw stones, and wasn’t a Jew like the other demonstrators who stood next to him.

The soldiers promised to release him if the demonstration dispersed, which was anyway the case, but, of course, lied through their teeth. Two army jeeps then drove through the village to show who’s boss, and then left. Ashraf was taken to Ofer prison, despite the authorities’ awareness to his medical problems."

Jayus

Yesterday (17,10,11) I learned that an old man in Jayyous, father of a shaheed, is the only one in his family that got a permit to pick olives behind the wall. Without his wife and sons (he's alone), he is having a hard time. A friend called to ask if there was anyone that could help? ISM is stretched thin, as I know many people / groups are. But, if you know people that would be willing to go help this man pick his olives in Jayyous, it would be greatly appreciated -- internationals, Israelis, 48 Palestinians... basically, they would have to be allowed to go through the gate.

Olive picking Thursday 20.10, was attacked by settler colonialist including shooting with live ammunition. State forces responded by driving away the Palestinians and the Israelis who accompanied them.

Ma'asara 21.10.11

Pasta, flags, drums and blows: five years of struggle Ma'asara

For five years the inhabitants of Ma'sara out nonviolent popular demonstrations against the Wall and settlements. Today they celebrated with Israeli and foreign, with flags and pasta, and the soldiers who guarded the local tradition and again attacked the demonstration with blows.

Origin [translated here by machine] with Pictures at: http://www.mysay.co.il/articles/ShowArticle.aspx?articlePI=aaauqo

Today (Friday) afternoon were about a hundred demonstrators - Palestinians, Israelis and foreigners (mostly French) - specify five years of popular struggle in Ma'asara against the wall and settlements. Every week for five years out of the demonstration from the heart of the village, and gay procession moved toward the village's land and the surrounding villages, now to be confiscated by the security fence (whose construction was put on hold for now) for the settlement of Efrat.

Surprisingly, and unusual, at the entrance to the village waited only one jeep with two soldiers, who were unable to arrest many demonstrators, and for the first time these were able to leave the village and move toward land, marching most of the time the road. A few hundred yards of walking and reading slogans the protesters were stopped by a larger force of soldiers and border police, who began to push them back.

It should be noted that although the violence continued throughout the demonstration, with many pushing and beating demonstrators clubs, this has not been declared a closed military area, no arrests, no thrown grenades or gas - unlike many other demonstrations and similar instead.

The demonstration lasted about an hour and a half, limited to the roadside at the village entrance, with occasional urgency on the part of soldiers. Between protesters waved flags, sang songs in various languages, danced to the samba drums were there, blew soap bubbles, and declaimed speeches to mark five years of popular struggle. At some point drew solidarity activists Italians who were there, including Deputy Chairman of the European Parliament, former Louisa Morgantini, pots of pasta big, and began to distribute lunch the demonstrators as a birthday present struggle. Controversy easy broke out between some demonstrators as active Italian and French offered pasta also soldiers (who refused to ). Some said it was improper collaboration with representatives of the violent occupation, and the soldiers are entitled to join in the fun only if you will go out of their uniforms, and were insisting that this is - this is the way to convince them that the struggle is against the occupation and theft of land - not against them as people.

At the end of the demonstration dispersed back to the village and their homes, and promised to continue demonstrating the same way in the future.

Palestine-Israel The joint struggle expand while the political scene is very tense

The joint struggle continue this week with wounds of Anata pogrom by of duty settler colonialists of the state forces living in Anatot still hurting. The state force officers on duty but did nothing to prevent it...banned the Friday demonstration at the site. The tension around the return of the war prisoner Gilad Shavit and release of 1000 Palestinians in return were subject most talked. In regular Friday demos and in special ones near Ofer concentration camp solidarity with prisoners was prominent. The season of olive picking started few days ago increased involvement of Israeli activists in the protection farmers from harassment by settler colonialists. The usual locations of Arakib Beit Umar, Bil'in, Ma'asara, Nabi Saleh, Ni'ilin, Sheikh Jarrah, were joined by Jayus. The activity of the High Follow up Committee of the popular grass root comities collect momentum and involve coordinating of multi location demonstrations.

Anata

This Friday, October 14th, 2:00 PM – We will demonstrate again in the entrance of Anatot.

Anatot’s settlers trying now to portray themselves as a peaceful community, a ‘quality of life’ settlement. Only that their settlement and the lands they expropriated are surrounded by a fence which its route was illegally obtained . Real estate interests are mixed with the aspiration to execute a peaceful transfer to the local inhabitants. Trying to create a new reality from which there will be no option to turn back.

Over the years Anatot became a fortress terrorizing its surrounding. The people of Anatot fear nothing more then the story of how they plunder the lands, upon which they built their ‘quality of life’ settlement, will come to light. This is the reason why the mere act of a Palestinian farmer trying to work his land, alongside a group of activists who documented the event, were perceived by the settlers as a real threat, that might put the reality they were trying to built under danger of collapsing.

However, it is not only the case of Anatot. The story of Anatot is to a great extent the story of the State of Israel. The demo was banned using closed military zone trick.

Hi all. As you know, Palestinian prisoners associated with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) began a hunger strike on September 27 against the worsening of conditions imposed on prisoners by the Israeli government. Since then, prisoners from Hamas, Fatah, Islamic Jihad and the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) have also joined the strike.

The popular struggle coordination committee and others are organizing a vigil in solidarity with the hunger strikers tomorrow (11-10) at 12:00 P.M in front of Ofer military prison (the Palestinian side). Along the week protests were also at Beit Ola, Sosya in Yatta.

Palestine-Israel, After the September big noise the joint struggle continue

The pick of the struggle was the escalation in settler colonialists terror in Anata, where a mob of local settlers - including personal of state forces who live there, attacked Jewish radical activists who accompanied Palestinians who tried to access their land. The state forces - police and gendarmes present stayed presumably "neutral" but threatened the activists and even arrested three. As a measure against settlers escalating terror, the joint monitoring project of the popular grass root committees is collecting momentum. The "regular" locations of joint struggle - both within the 1948 borders, mainly the Bedouins of the south, and Jaffa; the weekly joint demonstrations the anarchists against the wall are involved: Beit Omar, Bil'in, Nabi Saleh, Ni'lin, and Ma'asarah; and Sheikh Jarrah too. Other sporadic locations like A-Tawna were active too.

Anata

Testimony 06/10/2011 of Stavit Sinai

How I was beaten up, stripped necked, tortured and threatened to be burned alive by the Anatot settlers.

Friday evening, 09.30.11, Anatot gate.

A balding stocky man with light-colored hair, wearing glasses, banging my head against a white transit van. One of the activists was next to me as we were surrounded by settler-police who’ve been shoving me back and forth in opposite directions. I fought back. I knocked off the glasses of the man who thrust my head and crushed them in my right hand. He bit my hand hard, trying to release the glasses from it.

At this time, a brown-skinned man on my left began to twist my left arm in ways I had seen Border Police do in previous protests I’d attended. He didn’t stop even when I screamed in pain. It was only a heavy blow – when my face was pushed down shattering one of his front teeth – that released my left hand from his painful grip.

Then I was knocked to the ground as a vehicle behind me moved, threatening to run me over. The activist tried to help by raising me up. The white van left and I got back on my feet and stood facing a tall brown-skinned man who never stopped yelling his insults at me. He told me: “Go fuck Arabs…”

At this point, the group of settlers began to shake and shove me in different directions as they tore the clothing from my upper body. They ripped off my bra, vest and shirt. The upper half of my body was stark naked. Other activists tried to cover and calm me. I remember especially that in all the efforts to get me out of there, the tall, balding brown-skinned man came close and said: “A Jewish prick isn’t good enough for you? You want an Arab prick, hah?”

I remember another man wearing a dark civilian shirt and a cap on which was the word “Police” tried to move me. I asked him for his police ID and instead he pushed me out of the way. Another activist brought me to her car and promised to drive me home when the protest was over. I got into the car and locked the doors. From that moment I tried to tweet everything that happened as long as my cell battery held out. I wrote what happened on the ground, the blows, the disrobing and the dire situation the protesters faced that night. I took a picture from the car and uploaded it to Twitter. I tried to hide, not to arouse interest. I saw how the protesters were driven backward by the settlers.

Only a few minutes passed from when I entered the vehicle when a settler noticed me. He drew the attention of his other settler friends and they began rocking the car. I tightened my seat belt and waited quietly for help. In my hand, I grasped a narrow synthetic strap from my purse. It was the only thing I could find nearby to use to defend myself and I was ready to use it to strangle the first person who approached me. Before that, I’d tweeted that I'm looking for means of protection in case they break in. I covered my breasts with the little fabric that remained from my torn clothes.

The crowd around me grew, but I tried to maintain my composure. At that moment, a soldier came by and I begged him to help me. He gave me a look of utter boredom. But after more begging he asked the group to move back a bit so I could leave the car. He suggested that I get into the army jeep, but I wouldn’t agree despite the pressure that the soldiers exerted on me. I was frightened that the settlers standing around me would resume their violence. Because no one offered protection I began to scream at the soldiers to block me [from the settlers]. They did this indifferently. They did check that I hadn’t left anything behind as I’d asked. Despite this, I lost my purse which contained all my IDs including the one categorizing me as “Jewish,” despite the fact that I am not.

The door of the military vehicle in which I was sitting was opened by an older soldier, clearly a member of some minority. He screamed at me and threatened to arrest me. Apparently because I gave the settlers the finger while sitting in his vehicle. I told him to arrest me already, because I was shamed by being in the midst of soldiers of apartheid. He turned away, slamming the door of the vehicle. Eventually, the soldiers returned me to my fellow activists.

I still have the tattered remnants of my clothes from that night.

Bil'in

Friday 7-10-11:

It was the smallest Friday demonstration ever in Bil'in. Only 9 came from Tel Aviv, and a bit more international activist came... mainly an hour too late. Bil'iners too were less even for the last demos as the olive picking started today. Most of us marched all along the double distance to the new location - the Abu-Lamun groove adjacent to the new separation wall. Few others came by cars - as it is more and more common lately, after the removal of the old separation fence doubled the distance of the march.

When we arrived there people approached the separation wall - a bit to the south of the park and checked the strength of the barbed wire structure located in front of the wall.

It took the soldier some time till they discovered it and started to shower us with tear gas. After consuming the proper weekly dose of it we returned to the village.

There will be a demo in yatta (in the south) tomorrow (Friday 7-10-11). if you can come please let me know.

Report from the demo in a-Tswana: at Friday 7/10 around 30 people from southern mount hebron area, yatta and Tswana, people from beit ummar, and israeli activists (5), protested in response to the new grip settlement called Amnir on the lands of a-Tswana, and in response to new destruction of wells by the civil administration (Minhal).

We were able to march until the olive trees, as the Israeli army prevented the demo from getting to the main road near the settlements there. the protest ended without special cases.

The patrols are continuing,

If you can make it in the next days starting tomorrow please let me know.

k.

Hi all. The popular committees have asked us to support this campaign (see below). We will try to cover shifts for the next period. if you can please let me know when you can come and I'll schedule people.

Popular Committees to Launch a Documenting and Intervention Campaign Against Settler Attacks

The popular committees will inaugurate the Eyes of Resistance project to allow for quick intervention in cases of settler attacks on Palestinians.

What: Launching of the Eyes of Resistance campaign

Where: Nabi Saleh, at the contested Ein al-Qaws spring

When: Monday, September 19th, at 11:00 AM

Media contact: Jonathan Pollak +972-54-632-7736

In light of the recent augmentation in settler attacks on Palestinian body and property, the popular committees will initiate a volunteer-based campaign, in which several cars will patrol the West Bank to quickly respond to cases of settler attacks.

On-the-ground teams, composed of Palestinian, Israeli and international activists, will be directed from an operations-room in Ramallah, to which toll-free calls will be routed. The teams will document settler-attacks, but will also intervene to prevent and stop them when possible.

On Monday, four teams will set out on their first drive, from the contested Ein al-Qaws spring, near the village of Nabi Saleh. The location was chosen because of the continuous attempt by settlers from the adjacent settlement of Halamish to take over the spring and oust Nabi Saleh's residents from their lands.

Mohammed Khatib of the Popular Struggle Coordination Committee said, "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. This is exactly what these volunteers will do in a civic and peaceful manner".

---------------------------------------------------

Don't say we did not know #282

On Thursday, 29th September, 2011, Palestinian farmers from the village Shweiki, in the South Hebron Hills, discovered that settlers had uprooted 50 of their olive trees on their land.

The farmers called the army and police. An army tracker traced the vandals' footprints, leading to an outpost called Mitzpe Eshtamoa. On a rock was written: "Halhul price tag."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On Friday, 30th September, 2011, in the afternoon, several settlers and a dog entered the Palestinian village Yasuf (near the settlement Tapuah). The dog tried to attack people in the village. Villagers threw stones at the dog and the invaders, and managed to get them out. IDF soldiers then arrived and threw teargas grenades in the village and fired volleys into the air.

Palestine-Israel, The joint struggle is threatened by settler colonialist assaults on the Israeli partners

The desperation of the settler colonialists resulting from the approaching of the moment of truth and the shattering of their dream of the enlarged Israel, cause mounting of brutal assaults. Latest escalation was in the brutal assault on the Israeli non violent activists in the village Anata near the Settler colonialist settlement Anatot. The escalation was also of the state forces who were present at the confrontation but all they did was arresting three activist on concocted charges. State force personnel living in the settlement who were of duty participated in the assault. The main locations of joint struggles the anarchists against the wall activists are the leading Israelis: Bil'in, Ni'ilin, Nabi-Saleh, and Ma'asara keep the struggle going, and so are the struggles in Sheikh Jarrah, Arakib, Wallaje, and the South of Hebron Hills.

Anata

Friday, There was a kind of a pogrom committed against Palestinians and Israeli activists today in Anata. Israeli colonialist settlers, with the Israeli security forces doing nothing to calm them attacked both Palestinians and Israelis.

First round:

This morning (30/9) Israeli activists and Palestinians were attacked by settlers near the settlement of Atarot. The landowner of the plot to which the activists came in order to plant trees was also attacked by the settlers who cracked his head open, as well as attacking his wife. The two were have been hospitalized at Hadasa Ein Karem hospital.

Police officers who were present at the scene did nothing while the activists were beaten and their cameras smashed. Some of the attackers wore police shirts and carried service weapons, which attests to the fact that they are a part of the police force even though they were off duty.

Three of the Israeli activists who were attacked are... in detention at the Maale Edumin police station.

Three other activists have been hospitalized at Hadassa Ein Karem and an additional three have been arrested by the police, who have NOT arrested any of the assaulting settlers, in spite of having witnessed everything."

Peaceful moments before the first major clash with settlers on Palestinian Anata after today's event in Anata to hassle with the settlers, this video has become more urgent. us simply forbidden to be alone. http://youtu.be/WWSz3lBhHfw == http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWSz3lBhHfw

There will be an urgent demo this evening. Meeting point : 18:00 at French Hill commercial center. Transportation from Tel Aviv will be too.

Second round:

Later this evening, more activists arrived to protest against the pogrom which had taken place earlier. They too were attacked and beaten, with stoned being thrown at them too. In spite of police presence at the scene, the police did nothing.

As a result of the second attack, 19 people have been injured, requiring medical attention, and three have been hospitalized at Hadasa Ein Karem. Again, several cameras were destroyed. Moreover, cars belonging to the activists, which were parked outside the settlement of Anatot, were damaged by the attackers, who smashed windshields and head and tail lights, as well as puncturing tires.

Fascist media:

"During the new year "Rosh Hashana" holidays, tens of anarchists and Palestinians arrived at at Anatot in the Biniamin region, waving PLO flags. Anatot people did not remain quiet and confrontation developed and more than 10 anarchists were injured, and their cars were damaged."

Bil'in

As every other Friday we marched at noon from center of the village towards the separation wall. we were about 20 Israelis with the AAtW initiative, about 20 internationals, leading figures from Ramalla, and the Bil'iners. Near the route of the old and now removed separation fence, at the memorial site for Bassem Abu Rahme speeches were carried - including the declaration of "green Palestine". Then we continue the march towards the new route of the separation wall. There, at the Abu Lemon nature reserve there was an art exhibition of struggle scenes pictures and also enjoyed some refreshments. Then we approached the separation fence. After a while, the state forces showered us with tear gas and we returned to the village.
