Palestine-Israel: Not even 10 years of joint struggle and the fruits are already ripe*


The Israel main daily Yedioth Ahronoth revealed in the morning of 13-1-15 a classified document of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: "Worsening European measures against Israel... fear that the US stop using its veto power in the Security Council... a particularly gloomy forecast for 2015. It shows how far the political tsunami could reach, and in some ways has already begun". It seems the many thousands of international activists and dignitaries who participated in the joint struggle with the Israeli activists of the anarchists against the wall together with the Palestinian popular village comities were the catalysts that put the struggle on the media agenda again and again till the minimal mass already reached. First, the video clips invaded the main stream media, than Bil'in Habibti documentary and the pick was expressed in the 5 broken cameras award... and like a snow ball rolling down the mountain it is unstoppable now.


Bil'in

"The demo in BILIN gathered about 60 persons who suffered from gas as Israeli soldiers directed gas and rubber bullets to the people present on the scene.As usual,an important quantity of gas penetrated our village.
On the very same day,in 2011,we lost JAWAHER ABU RAHMA,the sister of BASSEM ABU RAHMA,who was martyred in PALESTINE,in BILIN,on 17/04/2009.
This atrocious MURDER was perpetrated by the ISRAELI OCCUPATION FORCES while he was taking part in a non violent demonstration against the ISRAELI OCCUPATION of OUR HOMELAND:PALESTINE".

Bil'in, Friday 9-1-15 - and as usual, the weekly demonstration different each time. 8 Israelis and dozen international activists joined tens of Bil'iners on a cold and drizzling afternoon. Southern wind, a new unit of Israel's armed forces, and tear gas in abundance ... we avoided quite easily. After more than an hour of confrontation - during which the armed forces "succeeded to force us to retreat back a bit, they got exhausted and left us alone with a tear gas cloud that covered the the small valley. With no one to confront we choose to end the demonstration and returned to the village.
