Protesters at the Deir Balut camp. (IWPS)

A protest camp in Dir-Balut village is a joint Palestinian,
Israeli, and international action against the Apartheid Wall.
The protest camp was created on Friday the 19th, and will
stay there till next Friday, January 2nd.

The camp is located in the yard of the newly built primary
school of the village of Dir Balut. The works on the new
school were stoped by the occupation authorities, as the
building stands on the path of the Wall, and is now due to
distruction.

The Wall will circle the village from 3 directions, will seperate
it from its lands and from the road to the south (the road to
the east was blocked 3 years ago, and was never opened
again). The inhabitants will be pushed into a crowded
enclave, a getto, together with a few nearby villages -
surrownded by walls, fences, road blocks, army and
settlements.

The camp is a pure grassroots activity. It was not created by
any established organisation -- it is a beautifull collaboration
between the local community, international volunteers, and
Israeli activists.

The Israeli youth who organise the activity are a small group
who work under the name "Anarachists Against the Wall".
The camp has an agenda of activities -- from demonstrations,
direct actions, visits to nearby villages such as Mes'ha, work
with the local community and daily MAHSOM-watch (a
human rights observation and presence by military
checkpoints) at the closest roadblock.


Dan Shohet is a student in Tel Aviv University and a peace
activist. To attend the camp, or for further information, please
contact Yonatan 066-327736, or Franchesca 064-494030.

---------------------------
Ed. Note: During the first of two weeks' camp (till
the action in Masha - their third direct action
against the apartheid hall), about 1200 persons
visited/participated in the camp.
