Dear friends,
We salute warmly the fifth annual Bil’in Conference on popular resistance.
Unfortunately, due to developments in Greece, we are not able to be with you on this significant event. However, we want to state once again our full solidarity with the Palestinian popular committees for non violent resistance against the wall of shame, against occupation and colonization, against the suppression of all human rights.
