(en) Palestine-Israel, The joint struggle in turbulent times*

The joint struggles in the locations of regular weekly activities of Bil'in, Ni'ilin, 
Ma'asara, Sheikh Jarah, Nabi Saleh, Qaddum, Western Hills of Hebron, in the week end 
actions and some in between focused on the war on Gaza as the more obvious aspect of 
occupation. To day, it seems Israel failed to establish a weakened but independent power 
in the Gaza strip - mainly because the atrocities of Israel failed to recruit 
international pressure on Egypt to open enough the siege on Gaza. It seems, there will be 
a revival of the accord between the Hamas and the west bank Palestinian authority Israel
invested so many efforts to sabotage. It is not clear yet how the the detail will be and 
how the last Israeli atrocities will influence the pressure of the imperial powers on 
Israel to end the 1967 occupation. Latest news: Israel started to retreat its forces from 
the Gaza strip with no resolution and with rockets still fired on Israel.

Bil'in

Saturday 19.7.2014 hundreds participated in protest demo held at Habima square

Today 25/7/14 17 Israelis with the Anarchists Against the Wall initiative and few 
internationals were ready to start the weekly march to the gate of the separation wall. 
Just as we started the Israeli fucked forces who had already invaded the lands of Bil'in 
flooded us with tear gas grenades and later fired on us even using live ammunition. One 
Bil'iner who was shot at the Stomach was rushed by the ambulance to the Ramalla 
hospital.https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=810543742310208

Friday 1.8.14 Demo - the strangest ever I participated in. A dozen Israelis, few 
internationals, and Bil'iner activists arrived at the Abu Lamun oak reservation park to 
start the weekly demo against the separation wall, the occupation, and Israel war on Gaza.
Israeli soldiers who waited there for us forbid us with added threats from even entering 
the reservation. After a complicated bargain we were allowed to sit under the first 
tree... so instead a marching demo we did a sit in one - one of the strangest Friday 
demonstrations in Bil'in - a sit in under a tree at the entrance to the Abu Lamun oaks 
reservation park. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10203587568822782


Ma'asara

Three Israelis and one international activists joined thirty Palestinians in the weekly 
demonstration in Ma'asara, with the theme of was resistance to the siege and massacre in Gaza.
We arrived late. When we arrived there were about eighty soldiers (much more than usual), 
some on the roofs of the houses, most of them with masks. Palestinian protesters made ?? 
speeches in English, and then dispersed. Immediately after the participants scattered 
stones began to fly through the air and gas and stun grenades. Hard to determine who 
started it and it does not really matter anyway. The commanders of the soldiers explained 
that because leftists prohibited live fire. The soldiers entered the village, looking for 
stone-throwing, some were left outside in all kinds of positions. They stayed in the 
village for half an hour, but did not arrest anyone. Some people probably suffered a bit 
from the gas, but the ambulance which "visited" the village after the army left returned 
empty.

Also the following night did not stop anyone.

Nabi Saleh - 01/08/2014The weekly Friday demonstration in the village of Nabi Saleh was a 
show of #solidarity with the #Palestinians in Gaza, who have been under constant Israeli 
fire in the past few weeks. Around 1500 Palestinians have been killed in the #Gaza strip 
so far, about a third of them children. Villagers accompanied by international and Israeli 
activists marched today from the center of the village calling for an arms embargo on 
Israel, justice for the victims and an end to the #massacre. The Israeli army responded 
with barrages of tear gas, #rubber-coated steel bullets and a few rounds of live 
ammunition. No major injuries reported.

Saturday 26-7-14 Thousands participated in demo held tonight at Rabin Square.
"Right wing thugs tried to attack the left wing activists that were protesting; as a 
response - members of Unity together with their AntiFa comrades tried to separate between 
the attackers and the protestors.
This is a fascist terrorism for its own sake!
We remind everyone that we must stay strong and on guard all the time!"

Hazor military airport

Tuesday 29-7-14 Direct action at Air Force Base against the Massacre in Gaza.
15 Israeli activists protested against the massacre in Gaza outside Hazor Air Force Base. 
The Base is where planes depart to bomb Gaza. More than 1,000 people have been killed in 
Gaza so far, the majority of whom civilians, including more than 200 children.
The activists said: "Military violence, and the killing of Palestinian civilians, fuel the 
endless bloodshed and hate. This has to stop. We are here to express our objection, as 
Israelis, to the attacks committed in our names. Whole neighborhoods in Gaza have been 
wiped out, and the residents of southern Israel live in ongoing anxiety that cannot be 
relieved by military force or by weapons. We call for an end to the attack on Gaza, the 
end of the siege on Gaza and for genuine dialogue."

Israeli activists staged another performance protest in front of the ?#?Egyptian? embassy 
in Tel Aviv, burning "blood-stained" dolls, symbolizing the ongoing ?#?massacre? of 
Palestinians in ?#?Gaza?. The Egyptian military regime, headed by al-Sisi, is complicit in 
the ongoing siege and killing of Gazans by colluding with Israel's Netanyahu and by 
insisting on keeping the ?#Rafah? border closed, thus preventing survivors' only route of 
escape.

Don?t Say We Didn't Know 417

Now, while Israel and the Hamas wage war in Gaza, Israel's government continues to wage 
war against citizens whose only crime is that they were born Bedouins, in the Jewish State.

On Thursday, July 17, 2014, government agents arrived escorted by police to the cemetery 
of Al Arakib, and issued the inhabitants an order to clear their belongings from the site. 
After having destroyed the Bedouins' farming endeavors, demolished all the dwellings in 
the village, all other structures and the fence surrounding the cemetery, all possessions 
will be confiscated. So the inhabitants will not be able to remain on their land.
