The transfer pressure in area C and the 1948 borders Negev intensify. The colonialist
settlers increase their terror backed by the Israeli state forces. The increased popular
struggle intensify too and the rightists call for harsher repression are lauder. Not all
involved with the grass root popular struggles are happy with the joint struggle with
Israelis, preferring to do without the relative immunity from harsher repression we
provide, and without our contribution for world public opinion. The ferment in the region
already decided that thing will not be the same but only popular struggle and
international pressure will channel the changes to the better.

Happy to report Silwad, after a period of relative calm, is now awake and fiercely
resisting the occupation and the theft of its lands by "settlers" from the nearby colony
of Ofra. The resistance was sparked by the savage beating of a 60-year-old Silwad
resident, Ahmad al-Zir, as he tended his land by Ofra colonists who fractured his skull
with and iron bar leaving him unconscious and necessitating emergency surgery.
