(en) Palestine-Israel, The expanding of the joint struggle is less than welcome by Israeli state forces
Date
Tue, 20 Mar 2012 23:48:46 +0200
It was a second Friday with Israeli activist of the anarchists against the wall initiative
seriously wounded. Last week demo it was a metal bullet rubbed by rubber that hit the nap
of the neck of one of our group in Naby Saleh. The previous Friday it was a tear gas
canister that broke the leg of another comrade. It seems the state force stop to
discriminate between us and the Palestinians in the demonstrations. They need may be
another scandal in the Israeli media following a serious assault on an Israeli activist
documented by us. Though it is not easy, the new persistent villages struggles are slowly
absorbed by our initiative. Bil'in and Ni'ilin who were in the front of the struggle and
repression are receding to the background, Naby Saleh draw most of the pressure, and we
still have to see how it will be in Qaddum and A-Dic.
Beit Ommar
Saturday weekly protest, Mar. 17, 2012
The Beit Ommar popular committee organized today's weekly peaceful protest adjacent to
(Carmi Zsur) settlers colony built on the stolen land from Beit Ommar farmers. When we
arrived next to the so called security fence surrounding the colony, more than 60 heavily
armed Israeli occupation soldiers Intercepted our way and tried with force to force us
back, but we resisted their violence and carried on our protest program. This protest was
in solidarity with Hana Shalabi who is on hunger strike for the last 31 days in the
Israeli occupation jails, and in memory of the ninth anniversary of the martyrdom of
RACHEL CORRIE who was bulldozed 9 years ago by an Israeli occupation military bulldozer
while she was trying to stop the bulldozer from bulldozing a Palestinian house in Rafah in
Gaza Strip. Itâs important to note that the popular committee of Beit Ommar is on hunger
strike for the last two days in solidarity with Hana Shalabi Justice and Freedom for Hana
Shalabi, Long live the memory of Rachel Corrie LONG LIVE PALESTINE

Bil'in
Friday 16-3-12. About 50 activists: 10 Israelis, 10 internationals and about 30
Palestinians - most drove at this rainy noon from the center of the village towards the
Abu Lamun park which border the separation wall. Few, insisted on doing the not too short
pilgrimage by foot.
Upon the arrival to Abu Lemon area participants raised Palestinian flags and posters of
prisoner Hana Shalabi; we chanted slogans calling for national unity, the departure of the
occupation, destruction of the apartheid wall, and for freedom for Palestinian
prisoners... We called the usual slogans too. Few protesters dared the soldiers by
entering between the barbed wire fences "protecting" the wall. Some were able to remove
additional part of the barbed wire fence. Some young demonstrators threw rotten eggs at
the soldiers. Then the soldiers who were situated behind the concrete wall shot a sound
bomb, rubber bullets, and tear gas canisters toward the participants. There was also a
truck spraying skunk water at the demonstrators.
On the other side of the concrete wall, under the army's protection, some settlers shouted
obscenities against the participants in the march... and got response in kind.
Due to the strong northern wind and the lack of militancy of the state forces, I missed
for the second time in a row the smell of the tear gas.

Jerusalem-Al-Kuds
Friday protests in Sheikh Jarrah
"Itâs been nearly three years since demonstrations against evictions in Sheikh Jarrah
began, and no one has heard a thing about the neighborhood in months. I went to check out
the situation there on Friday â and found a shell of what it used to be." [At the
beginning, the radical Zionist left mobilized combined with more radicals and even the
AAtW activists hundreds to whom many of the radicals of the non-Zionists joined. Now, the
remnants of the radical Zionist left and some real radicals concentrate their activity in
the Silwan neighborhood that face mass confiscation of lands and transfer. I.S.]
"Handful of people stand in Sheikh Jarrah Park (Photo: Mya Guarnieri
http://972mag.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/DSC07981.jpg) Nearly 30 protesters gathered
in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah on Friday to demonstrate against the
appropriation of Palestinian houses for Israeli settlers. An overwhelming majority of the
protesters were Israeli; six Palestinians were present.
It was a far cry from the protests that put Sheikh Jarrah and the Israeli Solidarity
movement on the map. Those spirited weekly gatherings attracted hundreds who chanted, held
signs, and made music in the name of ending the Israeli occupation and settlement expansion.
Fridayâs demonstration had no signs, no chants, and no music. A few people waved
Palestinian flags. Most milled about and chatted.
A jeep full of border police blew past, uninterested by the small group.
Speaking about the nature of the joint struggle, an elderly Palestinian man whose
neighbors lost their home to Israeli settlers remarked that it didnât matter to him
whether protesters were Jewish or Arab. âAnyone who supports [the struggle] against the
occupation, he can protest.â
He added that his neighborsâ home is like his home and that joining the demonstration is
about the collective, not âsomething individual.â
Amira Salamon Abdl Aziz expressed a similar sentiment. She lives in A-Ram, a Palestinian
village located between Ramallah and Jerusalem. If the separation barrier is constructed
as Israeli authorities plan, the village will be hemmed in from three sides.
Amira Salamon Abdl Aziz in Sheikh Jarrah
Speaking of Sheikh Jarrah, Abdl Aziz reflects, âToday itâs their houses. I never know
tomorrow if itâs going to be our house. God knows. God knows.â
She has been attending the weekly protest in Sheikh Jarrah after she goes to Friday
prayers at Al Aqsa mosque since the demonstrations began. She takes heart in the peaceful
nature of the protest and the fact that both Israelis and Palestinians attend it.
Abdl Aziz, who lived in New York City for 11 years, elaborates, âOver there [in New York],
they have Jewish people and Arabic people. There is a chance that we can get alongâbecause
over there, our neighbors, we go [to them and] they come to us.â
Even though âthings have changed,â Abdl Aziz says regarding the small size of the protest,
she keeps coming because of the communal spirit.
Speaking of home evictions, in general, she adds. âYouâre sitting there and some
[people]âdonât say the Israelisâsay aliens came from outer space and they told [you] get
out, this house is ours. How [would you] feel?
âThatâs the one question I want to ask the world.â

Nabi Saleh
March 16, 2012 Nabi Saleh Stands by Hunger-Striking Prisoner Hana Al-Shalabi; Israeli
Protester Shot in the Head
Hana Al-Shalabi, an imprisoned Palestinian woman held under administrative detention after
she was released by Israel as part of the last prisoners swap, is on hunger strike for an
entire month now to protest her treatment and bring about her release. Nabi Saleh
residents and other Palestinians joined Al-Shalabi this Friday, carrying posters, as the
weekly procession left the center of the village.
The demonstration was immediately attacked by Israeli occupation forces âskunkâ truck,
spraying foul smelling water. This was shortly followed by volleys of tear gas canisters
shot from a military jeep with an automated cannon. Israeli soldiers also approached the
village's built area on foot, until they raided the village and its surroundings entirely,
targeting protesters by shooting tear gas and bullets directly at them. In one such attack
an Israeli protester was shot in the back of her head by tear gas canister or some other
kind of âless-lethalâ bullet. She was rushed to a hospital in Ramallah and released after
she received initial treatment. At least two more protesters were also injured by Israeli
fire. Todays demo followed a week of heavy repression by Israeli forces, who raided Nabi
Saleh four nights, entering and searching houses and arresting youths at gunpoint.
PNN: Israeli Forces Raid Nabi Saleh Village, Break into Houses
Details Published on Friday, 16 March 2012 13:20
On Friday March 16, Israeli forces continued its attacks on Nabi Saleh village, north of
Ramallah for the fourth consecutive day.
Israeli forces raided the village and broke into several houses, searching them and their
contents.
Eyewitnesses said that Israeli forces brought along pictures of the people who
participated in the anti-wall and anti-settlement weekly activities, so they could arrest
them.
Confrontations between the Israeli forces and the village's citizens began when dozens of
youths faced the Israeli jeeps at the entrance to the village. The Palestinian popular

She was treated in Ramalla hospital and now back home).

Qaddum
Israeli comrade: "Four Israelis, ten international and two hundred Palestinians
demonstrated this week in Qaddom. The demonstration began as usual in a procession
accompanied by music to the road which was blocked for Palestinians. This block
significantly interfere with the right of movement, and their way of life, increases the
cost and prolongs the arrival to the district town of Nablus.
A few minutes after we arrived, the army began to fire volleys of gas and then happened
what in my opinion is rare:
Army released a German Shepherd and launched it at the protesters. The dog grabbed one of
the protesters, Ahmed, knocking him down and not let go for very long minutes. The guy's
uncle and an Israeli activist tried to approach to help him but were not allowed and even
had their face sprayed with pepper gas.
During the demonstration, three people were injured by gas canisters, two in foot and
another wounded in the shoulder.
After the demonstration we sat with the villagers to be informed about Ahmed's condition,
to meet, and comfort Ahmed's family who was really worried. As well as to provide legal
assistance to detainees. For the first time people arrested during the protest in Qaddom.
I think they think that if we were more than we were we could help more. Along with this
it seems to me there was an understanding of the importance of providing aid and influence
the Israeli state forces response. I of course thank our partners.
If you can, please, come to Qaddum so our visibility there will be more noticeable."
Media:
During a routine demonstration Palestinians protestors today carried an ancient village,
an unusual event occurred when the soldiers arrived they let a dog who bit one of the
protesters, Ahmed lust, his arm for several minutes, causing minor injury. According to
the demonstrators, and as seen in pictures of the event, including military dog ââhandler,
running dog, could not get him to release the jaws. Another demonstrator, a rebel lust,
asked to speak with an officer to help rescue dogs from Ahmed's arm, but he was arrested
while soldiers doused in pepper spray.
The incident occurred shortly after the weekly demonstration in the village, when young
men began throwing stones at Border Police sent a dog into a group of protesters to Lfzra.
Demonstrators fled but the dog caught one of them, knocking him and bit his arm. Said
Jonathan Pollack, a spokesman for the popular committees in the villages West, the
soldiers used dogs in the past, but so far has never bitten by a dog exhibits.

IDF spokesman said in response that "during a riot and unlawful held ancients, west of
Nablus, gathered about 100 Palestinians had rolled burning tires and threw stones at
security forces, who responded to them the means to disperse demonstrations. One of the
Palestinians was arrested for physically assaulting the forces there. Palestinians Also
arrested was bitten during his arrest by a dog belonging to the force. Instead he was
treated by military medical force and did not need to evacuate. The two were taken for
further treatment security forces. "
Weekly demonstrations of an ancient village, near the settlement of Kedumim, are held
regularly for ten months to protest the takeover of village land. The demonstration today
was dedicated to the memory of American protester, Rachel Corrie, who died 9 years ago
just hit by an IDF bulldozer in Rafah."
From the weekly demonstration against Israeli apartheid. Terrifying, appalling,
incomprehensible.... watch it nonetheless:

Social Struggle
Early evening time-marker on the Jaffa street in Jerusalem. The weather is warm and 150
protesters walking up the street battle spirit energy indoors are marching with the
megaphones, large signs, especially with their vocal cords. "The people" are public
housing requires shouting hoarsely. This demonstration that the noise much more than usual
thanks to late evening audience, as well as the acoustics that helps street protesters.
No, this is not the summer of 2011. This demonstration was held the week of March 2012.
Passersby on the street, which seemed a little way surprised, may think that it was the
tail of summer's protest, but the truth is that it is more a protest of the future.
