The prolonged status quo between the Israeli ruling elite and the Palestinian elite reach
a climax. Changes in the balances of power within the Israeli capitalist elite is still in
slow motion, but you can feel the vibrations. The joint struggle of the Palestinian grass
root activists and the Israeli radicals is not expanding, but the new wave of total
refusnic military service of Israeli youth - which already passed the hundred seems
promising. The joint struggle in Bil'in, Ni'ilin, Nabi Saleh, Qaddum, Sheikh Jarah, South
Hebron Hills, Arkib (within Israel) and other places from time to time keep the flame in
spite of the harsh repression. The involvement of Israeli Jews and to a lesser measure
international activists still prevent a massive bloody massacre of the unarmed Palestinian
demonstrators.

Nabi Saleh
Tuesday 14.4.14 Nabi Saleh successfully end three day siege of their village with peaceful
protest! Read the full report here:
After a great popular demonstration with the support of our brothers and sisters -
Palestinian, Israelis and internationals - we succeeded to re-open the gate at the
entrance of the village and to end the siege of Nabi Saleh after three days of blockade.
Also the west gate of the village now is open after about 12 years. We had to physically
fight and resist against the most arrogant army in the world. The IOF today beaten us and
shot bombs against us, as well as tear gas, rubber coated bullets and pepper spray. An
excessive reaction considering that we were demonstrating in a non violent popular way.
Murad Tamimi, taken during the protest, is still under detention.
Today, amongst our demands there was also the freedom of movement for all Palestinian and
the end of the check point, walls and gate system that is dividing the West Bank and the
Palestinians.
We demand the release of Murad Tamimi and of Mariam Barghouti - arrested in Nabi Saleh
Friday - immediately.

Friday demo in Nabi Saleh
Yaron Ben-Haim:
"April 18 2014 / Nabi Saleh
Nabi Saleh weekly protest marched to the spring that was expropriated by settlers since
2009. From its beginning the march was attacked by soldiers that fired tear gas in large
amount. Near the spring, another group of soldiers formed, to protect it and the settlers
from the non violent demonstrators. Behind the soldiers the settlers enjoyed the spring
water. One of the settlers called on soldiers, in front of her children, to shot and kill
all the protesters. Armed security officer of the settlement ,together with another armed
civilian, were spotted directing and giving instructions to the officer in the field. The
disciplined soldiers changed their arbitrary firing and fired arbitrary large amounts of
tear gas to the direction that was given by the settlers. Settlers expensive toy
helicopter with a camera flew over Nabi Saleh as if to get intelligence on protesters
concentrations. It was a hot day. Between weeds and stones, small grasshoppers bounced,
black centipedes were everywhere.The demonstrators had to watch out: flying tear gas
canisters that were aimed low and was shot more than once above their heads, also not to
get too close to the violent soldiers, and other real snakes. The children of the settlers
had to watch out snakes only. A couple of hours after the demonstration, military
helicopter landed in and rounded by ambulances . It trend out they came to evacuate a
settler Child that was bitten by snake. Local history teaches that injured Palestinian
demonstrators do not get that kind of help from the soldiers that attacks them, yet on
channel 10 the next day a reserve soldier explain to a group of young Israeli refusals how
the most just and moral army in the world help the Palestinian people. He said that he was
helping Palestinian people a lot as a military paramedic. A group of young refusals joined
the weekly demonstration and saw for them selfs how the soldiers (only one or two years
their senior) demonstrate brutality"

Refusnics
The new wave of refusnics include already more than 100 youth.
Shalom, I am Udi, 18 years old from Kibbutz Tuval. About a month ago I signed the
conscientious objector's letter. I refuse to serve in the Israeli army. I refuse to take
part in the occupation, the oppression, the unequal division of resources, the executions,
this system that decides that one nation worth more than another and that it is allowed to
oppress, to dispossess, to be violent.

Don't Say We Didn't Know 407
Arafat Jaradat of the Palestinian village Se'ir, near Hebron, was arrested on February 18,
2013. He was interrogated by the Shabak (Israel's General Security Services). His death
was established on February 23rd 2013. An Israeli coroner declared his death of natural
causes. It now appears that an internationally-renowned coroner, Dr. Sebnem Korur fincanci
concluded that he died of torture he suffered under interrogation.
