2-Al-Walaja protest 10-8-2011

Despite the fact that the case of the route of the Apartheid-Annexation Wall through the SW Jerusalem village of al-Walaja is due to be heard in the Israeli Supreme Court on September 27 occupation forces are busy creating "facts on the ground" by uprooting olive trees and doing the preparatory ground work for a crime against humanity that will create a living ghetto similar to Gaza, Qalqilya and neighbouring Bethlehem. In revulsion against this, Palestinians and international solidarity activists their numbers greatly augmented by members of the Israeli Anarchists Against the Wall direct action group protested in al-Walaja today but were greeted with stun grenades, tear gas and some thirteen arrests by the Israeli army. The village of Al-Walaja was, in 1948, the second largest land area after Jerusalem but was cut down to one third the size when Israel declared statehood that year. Now a border village, Al-Walaja is edged on its eastern flank by an expanding bloc of colonies and is being reduced in size by the path of the Apartheid- Annexation Wall, which annexes between two to three kilometers of village lands from the pre-1967 border.http://www.bilin-ffj.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=372&Itemid= 1

3-Mazin Qumsiyeh: UN September Application For Palestinian Statehood 10-8-2011
Declarations to the media about 122 countries recognizing Palestine (about the same as was the case in 1989) mean little to villagers and refugees who are losing daily in their struggle to get their concerns heard by those driving SUVs and Mercedes cars in the streets of Ramallah and who go unhindered through checkpoints with VIP cards ... A few years ago, Mr. (Saeb) Erekat came for a tour in the US. When some leading Palestinian Americans started questioning him on the failure of Oslo, he just got angry and said to about 40 of us that he has a PhD and that "who are you all to question things" (Dr. Mazin Qumsiyeh). http://palestinechronicle.com/view_article_details.php?id=17025 .http://www.bilin-ffj.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=371&Itemid= 1

White House - New York -

Dear Friends,

We would like to invite you to join our demonstrations in front of the White House on September 15th and in front of the United Nations building in New York on September 15th. The purpose of these demonstrations is to declare opposition to US aid to the Israeli occupation of Palestine.

American tax dollars go toward supporting an illegal and humiliating occupation of Palestinian land; the construction of illegal settlements; the annexation of Palestinian farmland; the purchase of weapons and arms used in night raids and military strikes. Right now your money finds its way to this part of the world where children and innocent civilians are killed, injured, and made to suffer. It also empowers the Israeli government to further ignore international law and perpetuate its intransigence.
These demonstrations in September will tell the US government to stop supporting this occupation and stand up for justice and freedom in Palestine.
