Tuesday morning, even the highest court of Israel that usually support the occupation and the settler colonialist project, had to declare that the two kilometer route of the separation fence cutting the lands of Bil’in as illegal. On hearing the verdict, a preliminary celebration was occurring all day till late evening. This Friday, we intended a bigger celebration at the time of the regular demonstration. More than hundred Israelis of the anarchists against the wall and the coalition against the fence, from all regions of Israel made the way to Bil’in. Still not sure what the state force do, and if they will not try to block our way, we took to the roads earlier. As we arrived earlier without any problem, we start the preliminary celebration together with local activists and participants from the region - including Palestinian dignitaries who came from time to time to the Friday demonstration.

Palestinian village celebrates victory over Israeli Apartheid

The 135th demonstration in the village of Bil’in took place yesterday. Normally the demonstrations occur on fridays, but this week something changed all that. This week, we encountered a seismic shift. Three Israeli judges ruled in favor of the villagers, saying the Apartheid Wall, which has been the focus of their weekly demonstrations for over two years, must be moved to grant access to Palestinian land. The villagers responded by having a spontaneous celebration, followed at 4:30pm by a demonstration at the gate to their land. Hundreds of people, men, women, children, Palestinian, Israeli and international came together hands held, flags raised and heads high to march to the gate that was the site of so much military violence.
Bil'in celebrates the court verdict - Victory for the joint non-violent struggle
04/09/2007
This morning at 9.00am the verdict of the Israeli High Court was expected on the Bil’in village petition regarding the war crime of building the separation fence used to rob most of the village lands. The High Court is used to giving the rubber stamp of "justice" to the occupation and the settler colonialist project, but can only do so if it follows some kind of logic. But it is logic that has now forced the court to restrict Israel’s war crimes in the occupied territories. The joint struggle in Bil’in carried on by the village’s popular committee together with the Israeli Anarchists Against the Wall initiative, has forced the country’s highest court to intervene. After two and a half years of refusing to give a prompt verdict, it has finally had to follow its own principles of justifying the separation fence, and today ordered the settler colonialist establishment to retreat a bit.
