Solidarity with Anarchists Against the Wall
With the increase of legal persecution against Palestinian demonstrators, AATW are now fundraising to expand its existing legal fund so that it also covers defense costs for Palestinian. This is in addition to covering a standing 15,000 USD debt, resulting from the legal persecution of Israeli anti-wall demonstrators.
Yes to Justice! No to Occupation!
Bilin’s Popular Committee continues to push away the Wall with its regular Friday demonstrations. Bilin’s struggle continues since February 2005, in spite of the repression. Supporting Bil’in means supporting the victory of non-violent resistance over the illegal building of the settlements and the Wall.
More than ever, Bil’in needs help from Israelis and Internationals on the ground to get back all its land and to continue its resistance.
