Today we went farming with the family of Ahmed Saadat.  We arrived in Khuzaa at about 7 AM and met Ahmed. He told us that the Israeli’s had already shot at his family when they went to their land to begin work.  We went to the land, which lies 300 meters from the border and directly on the buffer zone.  You immediately know the buffer zone, nothing is planted in it, no trees are left, and everything has been … Continue reading

Neither threats nor murders will stop our demonstrations

4 April 2012 | International Solidarity Movement, Gaza

Over the weekend Israeli planes dropped flyers over Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahia warning that anyone who approached within three hundred meters of the border would be shot.  It is not as though the people don’t know of this policy.

As the following conversation between Israeli soldiers makes clear, this has been policy for many years.  The soldiers in this conversation are discussing the murder of a thirteen year old girl, Iman Darweesh Al Hams. She was murdered in October 2004 on her way to school. The chilling transcript relating her murder … Continue reading

Thirty six years ago on March 30th 1976 demonstrations against the confiscation of Palestinian land by the Israeli government spread throughout Palestine.  Six Palestinians were killed, over a hundred wounded, and hundreds more arrested.  Land day was one of the first large mobilizations of Palestinians with 1948 Palestine.  This year, on Land Day, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from all over the world will march towards Jerusalem.  Today, in Beit Hanoun, Land Day came early.  … Continue reading

29 February 2012 | International Solidarity Movement, Gaza

Israeli riot police have entered the Al Aqsa Mosque Compound, Palestinians have struggling to protect it for days.  After 66 days Khader Adnan has ended his hunger strike, hopefully, soon, he will be home with his family.  Even before his hunger strike ended the newest one had begun.  Hana Shalabi, a young woman from the West Bank, was put into “administrative detention” on February 16, 2012.  Like Khader Adnan she has been … Continue reading

Solidarity with Khader Adnan in the No Go Zone

Posted on: February 15, 2012

by Nathan Stuckey

14 February 2012 | International Solidarity Movement, West Bank
Two months ago, few of us knew the name Khader Adnan.  Today, he is an inspiration to all of us.  Two months ago he was kidnapped from his home by Israel.  He was charged with no crime.  He was abused by his captors and interrogators from the moment he was arrested.  None of this is unusual in Palestine, every day people are kidnapped from their homes, abused, and held without charge.  Torture is a routine matter for prisoners of the occupation.  None of the abuse that Israel inflicted … Continue reading

Entering the deadly zone, demonstration in front of Erez

Posted on: February 7, 2012
A Palestinian plays football in the no go zone near Erez during the weekly demonstration against the occupation in Beit Hanoun, Gaza Strip, Tuesday, February 7, 2012. Every Tuesday Palestinians and supporters march from Beit Hanoun into the "buffer zone" or "no go" zone , where the fertile land has been made inaccessible to Palestinians due to the imminent danger of shooting by the Israeli army.

7 February 2012 | Chroniques de Palestine


Since 2008, demonstrations are organized in front of Erez in Beit Hanoun. This is in defiance of the “no go zone” imposed unilaterally by the Israelis. Any person who approaches the Green Line is under risk of being shot at. In fact many farmers; or rubble collectors have been shot in these border areas. The “no go zone” is not really defined. The Israelis announced a 300 meters line not to be crossed but people have been shot as far … Continue reading

Music against the No Go Zone

Music against the No Go Zone

by Rosa Schiano

31 January 2012 | il Blog di Oliva
Every Tuesday we demonstrate at the Erez border crossing, in Beit Hanoun, in the northern  Gaza Strip. The demonstration started at about 11:00 AM. We headed for the No Go Zone. The No Go Zone is an area taken by Israel that extends along Gaza’s entire northern and eastern border inside Palestinian territory. For all intents and purposes, the No go Zone imposed by Israel is illegal and prevents the farmers from working part of their lands. Those who enter the area are attacked by Israel with live rounds….
