Open call to our friends around the world: Support Palestine to be Independent!
14/09/2011
The time has come for Palestine to join the international community as a sovereign nation. Since our expulsion from our homeland, in 1948, and the occupation of West Bank and Gaza in 1967, our national goals have been deeply connected to our internationally recognized inalienable rights, such as our right of self-determination and the right of all our refugees to return to our homes.

Join us in pressuring the OECD to cancel its conference in Jerusalem
12/10/2010
These are hard but important days for us in Palestine. Just yesterday, my friend and coordinator of the Bil’in Popular Committee Against the Wall and Settlements, Abdallah Abu Rahmah, was sentenced to a year in prison by an Israeli military court. His sole crime was being an instrumental part in our village’s campaign against the construction of the wall on our lands.
However, we mustn’t allow our sadness about Abdallah’s incarceration to stop our work. While Abdallah worked to highlight the expansion of settlements in the West Bank, Israel also constructs illegal infrastructure in East Jerusalem.
Between the 20th and 22nd of October, almost a week from today, the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) plans to hold its bi-annual tourism conference in Jerusalem - a city whose indigenous Palestinian residents suffer from systemic discrimination and expulsion. There is not a moment to lose if we want to change this decision.
Collecting donations for Canteen accounts of the popular struggle prisoners
25/08/2010
As we all know, in addition to the hard running violence in demonstrations against the occupation, one of the key tools of repression against the popular movement is the mass arrests - along with bogus trials that lead to long periods of confinement in prisons in the West Bank and Israel.
Nearly a 100 of Bil’in residents were jailed for various periods of time since 2005. In Ni’lin alone, more than 120 people were detained since the beginning of the struggle in May 2008. During the months in which the people of An Nabi-Salih, Karawat Bnei-Zeid, Beit Rima and Kufer Ein dared to protest more than 40 of them were arrested.
