FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Tomorrow, August 4th, 2006, at 1pm the people of Bil’in and their Israeli and international supporters will demonstrate against the Apartheid Wall and settlements. They will march to the wall carrying a black flag as a sign of mourning for the people who have died, numbering over 1,000 in Gaza and Lebanon in the past few weeks.
The Palestinian Human Rights Center reports that 174 Palestinians have been killed since the Israeli offensive began June 25th, and al-Jazeera reports that over 900 Lebanese have been killed since the Israeli aggression began July 13th. Since January 2005 Bil’in villagers have demonstrated at least once every week against the wall and settlements. Even as the wall was built and completed they continue their non-violent protests despite continuous Israeli military aggression.
