<p>I am waking up on a cold and rainy morning in Nabi Saleh. I have been  sleeping in the village on and off over the past few weeks along with  some other Israeli and international supporters. The army has been  raiding the village at night, terrorizing the villagers and  arresting children. The military repression of resistance in Nabi Saleh  has moved to an advanced stage. The army arrests children, puts them  through psychological torture and then gets them to deliver script  against the leaders of the popular committee. The army does it in  Bil’in, Ni’ilin and other villages that fight for the spirt of freedom  denied to them by the Israeli occupation.</p>
<p>Nabi Saleh, a small village west of Ramallah, has engaged in an  unarmed demonstration against the confiscation of their land by the  neighboring Jewish settlement of Halamish for the past year There have  been countless injuries, arrests and collective punishment against the  village over the past year as the army has tried to crush the protest.</p>
<p>Today’s demonstration, which will being in about an hour, will be  in solidarity with the people of Egypt. The spirit of freedom is  sweeping the Middle East. The villages of the West Bank, which have been  suffering from repression and tear gas for years, extend their support  to the peoples of Egypt and Tunsia.</p>
<p>The following is a raw and simple video shot by the great  photojournalist Matthew Cassel yesterday in Tahrir Square.  It’s simplicity is refreshing in this current news cycle. From Egypt to  Palestine, all people power is revolutionary.</p>
