A-Infos (en) Palestine-Israel, The joint struggle of grass root communities is part of the resistance to the continuous robbery of Palestine.

The local struggle of the villages against the crawling occupation frustrate the striving 
of Israel to take over all the areas around the Palestinian towns and leaving the towns 
and cities as separated islands. The picking of the olive trees open many battle arenas 
where settler colonialists are encouraged by the Israeli state to expand the areas around 
them "clean of Palestinians". The anarchists against the wall and other radical Israelis 
share with the Palestinian partners some of the injuries inflicted by settlers while state 
forces prefer a neutral position. Anata was the bloody arena at the beginning of the 
month. In addition to the accompanying farmers to fields and olive trees we participated 
in the usual location of week end demonstrations: Beit Ummar, Bil'in, Ma'asara (where they 
celebrated the 5 year anniversary), Ni'ilin, and Qaddoum (which joined for persistent 
struggle 4 months ago).


Beit Ummar

settlements and the Apartheid Wall in Beit Ummar.

settlement on the robbed lands of the village...

Bil'in

"Last week: Some 20 Israelis and over 30 internationals, including a Basque delegation, 
joined the weekly Palestinian demo against the wall, land-grab and occupation in Bilâin. 
The protesters marched from the old route of the wall to the new route, where the soldiers 
demanded that they retreat. The demonstrators started retreating in order to have a few 
peaceful minutes of protest, but the army started shooting gas. The shabab took their 
posts in the Southwest corner of the Abu Lamun oak grove, and the usual exchange of stones 
for gas and rubber bullets ensued. The soldiers made a point of shooting also the peaceful 
demonstrators at the back, and shooting at protesters who were trying to put down fires 
that spread into the few olive trees that hadnât been uprooted and stolen before the wall 
was moved. An Israeli demonstrator called the Israeli fire brigade (the site being area 
C), but they did not come to the rescue."

"This week: Some 20 Israelis and about 10 internationals joined the weekly Palestinian 
demo for freedom, peace and Tsumud in Bilâin. The protesters, led by the new Libyan flag, 
marched to the new route of the wall, where the soldiers welcomed them with gas. The 
demonstrators moved upwind, eastward along the wall, where a handful of Shabab held their 
impromptu fort for about an hour. Since the spot was hard to hit, the soldiers retaliated 
by shooting canisters into the oak grove downwind behind the shabab, setting fire to some 
rare and ancient oaks. When the demonstrators were heading back, the soldiers decided to 
have the last word and crossed the gate. The shabab were swift to disappear, leaving 
behind peaceful Israeli, international and Palestinian demonstrators.

In line with apartheid rules, the soldiers jumped and arrested Ashraf Abu Rahme (brother 
of Bassem and Jawaher, the two unarmed and nonviolent demonstrators killed by the Israeli 
army in Bilâin during Friday demonstrations, himself shot in his foot by soldiers while 
arrested, bound and blindfolded at Ni'ilin demo). He was arrested under the false pretext 
of throwing stones (while he is a person whom Iâve never seen as much as pick up a stone 
to throw in the hundred or so demonstrations Iâve been to in Bilâin). His true crime: he 
didnât run away from the soldiers like the kids who did throw stones, and wasnât a Jew 
like the other demonstrators who stood next to him.

The soldiers promised to release him if the demonstration dispersed, which was anyway the 
case, but, of course, lied through their teeth. Two army jeeps then drove through the 
village to show whoâs boss, and then left. Ashraf was taken to Ofer prison, despite the 
authoritiesâ awareness to his medical problems."

Jayus

Yesterday (17,10,11) I learned that an old man in Jayyous, father of a shaheed, is the 
only one in his family that got a permit to pick olives behind the wall. Without his wife 
and sons (he's alone), he is having a hard time. A friend called to ask if there was 
anyone that could help? ISM is stretched thin, as I know many people / groups are. But, if 
you know people that would be willing to go help this man pick his olives in Jayyous, it 
would be greatly appreciated -- internationals, Israelis, 48 Palestinians... basically, 
they would have to be allowed to go through the gate.

Olive picking Thursday 20.10, was attacked by settler colonialist including shooting with 
live ammunition. State forces responded by driving away the Palestinians and the Israelis 
who accompanied them.


Ma'asara 21.10.11

Pasta, flags, drums and blows: five years of struggle Ma'asara
For five years the inhabitants of Ma'sara out nonviolent popular demonstrations against 
the Wall and settlements. Today they celebrated with Israeli and foreign, with flags and 
pasta, and the soldiers who guarded the local tradition and again attacked the 
demonstration with blows.

Origin [translated here by machine] with Pictures at: 
http://www.mysay.co.il/articles/ShowArticle.aspx?articlePI=aaauqo

Today (Friday) afternoon were about a hundred demonstrators - Palestinians, Israelis and 
foreigners (mostly French) - specify five years of popular struggle in Ma'asara against 
the wall and settlements. Every week for five years out of the demonstration from the 
heart of the village, and gay procession moved toward the village's land and the 
surrounding villages, now to be confiscated by the security fence (whose construction was 
put on hold for now) for the settlement of Efrat.

Surprisingly, and unusual, at the entrance to the village waited only one jeep with two 
soldiers, who were unable to arrest many demonstrators, and for the first time these were 
able to leave the village and move toward land, marching most of the time the road. A few 
hundred yards of walking and reading slogans the protesters were stopped by a larger force 
of soldiers and border police, who began to push them back.

It should be noted that although the violence continued throughout the demonstration, with 
many pushing and beating demonstrators clubs, this has not been declared a closed military 
area, no arrests, no thrown grenades or gas - unlike many other demonstrations and similar 
instead.

The demonstration lasted about an hour and a half, limited to the roadside at the village 
entrance, with occasional urgency on the part of soldiers. Between protesters waved flags, 
sang songs in various languages, danced to the samba drums were there, blew soap bubbles, 
and declaimed speeches to mark five years of popular struggle. At some point drew 
solidarity activists Italians who were there, including Deputy Chairman of the European 
Parliament, former Louisa Morgantini, pots of pasta big, and began to distribute lunch the 
demonstrators as a birthday present struggle. Controversy easy broke out between some 
demonstrators as active Italian and French offered pasta also soldiers (who refused to ). 
Some said it was improper collaboration with representatives of the violent occupation, 
and the soldiers are entitled to join in the fun only if you will go out of their 
uniforms, and were insisting that this is - this is the way to convince them that the 
struggle is against the occupation and theft of land - not against them as people.

At the end of the demonstration dispersed back to the village and their homes, and 
promised to continue demonstrating the same way in the future.
