6 April 2012 | Refusing to be Enemies: The Book


I’m a bit slow at writing things up, so in the meanwhile, here are some photos  of this past Friday’s action in Ni’lin.  To me the the most vivid pictures were the shebab, including boys who looked as young as 12 , symbolically lobbing stones at and over the gate and wall (probably not visible in my photos), amid clouds of stinging teargas and stinking “skunk water,” and Mohammed Amira calmly standing with his megaphone addressing … Continue reading

Today the weekly demo of Al-Ma’sara, near Bethlehem, was underway as dozens of Palestinians and Israelis demonstrated in  the heavy rain against the wall in solidarity with Hana Shalabi . Israeli Occupartion Forces first attacked Mahmoud Zawahre, the coordinator Of Al-Ma’sara Popular Committee, tearing his clothes before he managed to escape them. After that they started attacking people with their batons and  arrested four Israeli activists. They were later released. They  also broke the camera of … Continue reading

In the outer part of Bethlehem very close to Rachel’s Tomb, Mariam (who wishes not to use her actual name) runs her small Palestinian souvenir shop. But this is not a shop in the usual touristic places of Bethlehem,  and not a place you find if you don’t know about it.

Despite these facts, this small shop has become the only income for Mariam and her family since it opened two years ago.

Before 2002 her husband had an auto mechanic shop in this building, perfectly located right next to the main road … Continue reading

Dismantling Apartheid - Click here for more photos

13 March 2012 | by Rune, International Solidarity Movement, West Bank

Like every Friday, on March 9th residents of Ni’lin village, west of Ramallah, went to protest the Apartheid wall, which encloses their lands and denies them of basic human rights. A part of the protest was an attempt to break a hole in the wall. Activists were met with rubber coated steel bullets, skunk water and tear gas, sometimes fired directly at the demonstrators.

Rune is a volunteer with International Solidarity Movement (name has been changed).

Introducing Bil’in: The ritual of resistance and oppression

Posted on: March 5, 2012

by Sophie Van Dijk

2 March 2012 | International Solidarity Movement, West Bank

Today we went to Bil’in, a small village 17 km from Ramallah. For decades it has been harassed by the Israeli army. When the Apartheid Wall was constructed, it separated the farmers from their land.

Seven years ago, the villagers succeeded in moving the wall a bit towards the settlements again and gained back a few meters of the land where their great grandparents already lived.

Every Friday after that, there where demonstrations organized. For my friend and I, this was our  first demonstration in the West Bank.
Luckily we had a bit of an … Continue reading

Al Ma’sara: House on the seam of looming Apartheid Wall becomes center for peaceful resistance

Al Ma’sara: House on the seam of looming Apartheid Wall becomes center for peaceful resistance

by Aaron

14 February 2012 | International Solidarity Movement, West Bank
There is a place where a ground-level concrete line runs beside a country road through olive orchards, grape vines, blossoming almond trees, and homes—all Palestinian. This is the projected path of a new segment of Israeli Apartheid Wall through Al-Ma’sara, a small village 13 km south of Bethlehem in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Since 2006, protesters have held weekly demonstrations opposing the Wall’s construction—which was halted in 2009, possibly due to financial constraints. But attacks on Palestinian homes … Continue reading

5 February 2012  | International Solidarity Movement, West Bank


Hundreds of peaceful demonstrators confronted heavily armed Israeli soldiers this Friday, February 3rd,  at a new protest in the village of Qaryut, planting nearly one hundred trees and partially demolishing the roadblock that has obstructed access to the highway since the First Intifada.
Although organizers were prepared for military violence, the protest remained peaceful until the end, and demonstrators marched home triumphantly with a promise from the military to remove the roadblock with a bulldozer, which they … Continue reading

Seeds to Apartheid sewn by Zionists - Click here for more images

16 December 2011 | International Solidarity Movement, West Bank

Today, Israeli soldiers once again denied the Palestinians’ right to assemble and protest against the construction of the illegal separation wall.

About fifty villagers of Qalandia gathered after the Friday prayer and went to the construction site in a peaceful demonstration. They were not more than halfway before the Israeli occupation forces shot a large number of tear gas canisters towards the demonstrators, most of them minors, and then started to fire rubber bullets straight into the crowd.

“You know, … Continue reading
