A-Infos (en) Palestine-Israel, the joint struggle continue... not only in Bil'in

Because of the Muslim holy day of Id al Adha, the regular Friday joint demonstrations 
against the separation fence and occupation in the village Ni'ilin (west of Bil'in) and 
Ma'asara (south of Bethlehem) were canceled. However, in Bil'in, the nearly five years 
chain was never broken... The Israeli state efforts to transfer Palestinian from the 
occupied east Jerusalem never stop and so was the joint demonstration against the 
escalation of transfer steps. The refusnics struggle and that of the "guest workers" were 
less prominent this week.

Some 30 Israelis and 25 internationals joined the people of Bil'in for the Id al Adha 
demonstration against the wall. Demonstrators marched with Palestinian flag colored 
balloons, chanting slogans and imbued with holiday spirit. The army didn't let the 
relatively small number of demonstrators confuse them. After a formal holiday greeting, 
they immediately started throwing gas canisters. The wind, possibly not in solidarity with 
the villagers, blew directly in the demonstrators' faces, and made it difficult for them 
to maintain their stance. Demonstration leaders were seen scolding soldiers for their 
crimes while simultaneously scolding shabab for their disobedience to the 
no-stone-throwing-at-the-gate policy. Several demonstrators suffered direct hits by gas 
canisters, and some expensive holiday outfits were permanently scarred by the black soot 
of the struggle.

SHEIKH JARRAH

he settlers living in the neighborhood are harassing the evicted Palestinian families, who 
now live on the street.  Threats and stone throwing have become common occurrences, 
especially before the Sabbath.

Join a march from West to East Jerusalem in protest of the injustice committed against the 
Palestinian residents of East Jerusalem. The march will end in Sheikh Jarrah with a

------------------------------
Yesterday in the early morning settlers invaded the Al-Kurd home in Sheikh Jarrah. They 
threatened the family members and beat some of them, until they were stopped by the 
police. We need volunteers to sleep in the families' homes Thursday through Saturday night.

Tomorrow, in the weekly Friday demonstration, significant presence will be very important 
for the families. We leave from the Mashbir Plaza on King George st. at 13:30, or meet at 
Sheikh Jarrah at 15:00.
