A Weekend Program of Nonviolent Resistance

Friday, December 23

  • 9:00 AM: Salem Village, Nablus Region
    Farmers, joined by international and Israeli supporters, will replant hundreds of olive trees destroyed by settlers from the Alon More settlement. 200 trees were cut down by settlers on November 27, and in October 50 acres were burned and more than 300 trees destroyed. There have been ten such attacks in the past two years. Salem residents have difficulty accessing 2,500 dunums of their land due to settler violence. Israeli authorities have failed to provide adequate protection.

  • 12:00 AM: Bilin Village
    Villagers will be joined by Israeli and International activists as they march to their lands that are being cut off by the annexation wall. Yesterday a structure established by the villagers on their own land and with a permit from the Bilin Village Council was removed and its inhabitants evicted by the Israeli military. This happened while massive illegal construction in the nearby settlement is allowed to continue and confiscate more of Bilin’s land.
