December 26, 2006
Without the Internet I would not have known about or met Jonathan Pollak, an intense young Israeli and committed activist and organizer for Anarchist’s Against the Wall/AAtW who spoke throughout major cities in America in 2005. He has been beaten, shot with rubber bullets and arrested numerous times for standing up to the authority of the Israeli Army.
