<blockquote class="article-intro"><p><em>The ongoing struggles of the few dozen  activists of the Israeli Anarchists Against the Wall initiative began  in Mas&#8217;ha camp 2003 on the route of separation fence. The direct actions  of one-sided non-violent activities together with popular grassroots  Palestinian activists have become the focus for hundreds of Israelis of a  wider political spectrum and/or lower level of involvement. The  struggle which we started within the 1967 occupation regions &#8220;spilled&#8221;  over to the original 1948 borders of Israel and to other social class  struggles. The AAtW&#8217;s activity draws other Israeli political  organizations, initiatives and NGOs into the joint struggle. Even the  radical Zionist leftists were touched and are now the core of Solidarity  Sheikh Jarrah&#8230; which is expanding to other parts of occupied East  Jerusalem and even into struggles within the 1948 borders like Araqeeb,  Jaffa and Lod.</em></p></blockquote>

<p>Bil&#8217;in</p>
<p>This Friday vs. Last Friday<br />
Israelis: 26 vs. 19<br />
Internationals: Chilean parliamentary delegation vs. the usual solidarity activists<br />
Theme: Support for Palestinian state vs. solidarity with Egyptian democracy<br />
flags: South American vs. Egyptian<br />
Tactics:<br />
Last week: the demonstrators reached the fence but had to retreat  because of the &#8220;skunk&#8221;. Then they went on to the northern part of the  fence. At this point the army kidnappers flooded everything with gas and  crossed the wall to chase the demonstrators away.<br />
This week: The army crossed the wall before the demo and shot gas while  the demonstrators were still on their way. Some demonstrators managed to  cross the wall of gas and confronted the soldiers with slogans, signs  and umbrellas. The army kept other demonstrators from joining by  shooting more gas. When the demonstration was declared over and everyone  retreated the apparently Mubarak-supporting soldiers cowardly gassed  the retreating demonstrators.<br />
Shabab: Tried to disperse the soldiers with stones vs. tried to disperse the soldiers with potty mouth insults.<br />
weapons: skunk, gas, sound bombs, rubber bullets and live bullets vs. gas and sound bombs<br />
weather: hot vs. drizzly</p>
<p>Bil’in Marches in Solidarity with the People of Egypt<br />
Dozens of Palestinian, International and Israeli activists march under  the banner of solidarity with the Egyptian people. The demonstration was  attacked quickly with the same American made tear gas which has been  used for the past ten days against the protests in Egypt.</p>

<p>Nabi Salih</p>
<p>Last Sunday, January 23rd, at 2AM, military forces violently arrested a  14 years old at his house in Nabi Salih. The boy was held handcuffed and  blindfolded in the cold till morning, and was then taken to an 8 hours  police interrogation. His lawyer, waiting outside the police station,  was not allowed to meet the minor till only after 4 hours of the  interrogation, and his parents were not informed (as a minor, his right,  even according to the military law, is to be interrogated in the  presence of his parents).</p>
<p>The military court (after outrageous failures of its own) might release  him tomorrow, February 1st, to house arrest. One of the conditions for  the release is to find two Israeli citizens to sign a bail for him.</p>

<p>Nabi Salih Marches with the People of Egypt<br />
Despite pounding rain and aggressive repression tactics employed by the  army, the village of Nabi Salih marched Friday in solidarity with the  people of Egypt. The demonstration was also in honor of 14 year Nabi  Salih resident Islam Tamimi, who was arrested in a night raid in the  village almost three weeks ago and remains in jail.</p>
<p>Even before the demonstration was slated to begin, the army had taken  positions inside the small village of Nabi Salih, located just west of  Ramalla. Soldiers briefly detained three Israeli supporters around 10:30  in the morning inside the village. The activists were taken to the  village entrance and told to leave and not return. They were able to  enter from a different point and join the demonstration later in the  day.<br />
Dozens of Palestinian, international and Israeli activists marched  holding posters of 14 year Islam Tamimi, who has been in an Israeli  military jail for almost three weeks. The demonstration was also in  solidarity with the people of Egypt. Across the West Bank, popular  committees held demonstrations in solidarity with Egypt.</p>
<p>The demonstration was attacked with tear gas, the same American made gas  used against protesters Egypt and Tunisia, before reaching the main  junction of the village. Soldiers then took over the square of the  village and forced protesters into the olive grooves surrounding Nabi  Salih. Despite the pounding rain, soldiers maintained positions inside  the village until five in the evening.<br />
Two international activists were detained for roughly three hours during  the demonstration and no injuries other than tear gas inhalation were  reported. The village has been suffering serious repression by the  Israeli army over the past month. Weekly night raids, the systemic  arrest of children and threaten popular committee leaders has become a  mainstay of life in Nabi Salih. Despite this, the people still resist  the Israeli occupation and march in solidarity with the people of Egypt  and Tunisia who are fighting for the spirit of freedom.</p>
<p>Wad Rahal</p>
<p>Yesterday some 30 Israeli and international activists joined the Palestinian demo against the wall and the settlements.<br />
We marched down to the route of the wall and passed with no problems,  and then up the hill to the gate of the Efrat that sites on wad Rahal&#8217;s  land and is planing to take more lands with the help of the wall. We  chanted slogans and played drums in front of the gates without any  violence of violent threats. within a few minutes an army car came and  an officer of the IOF commanded us to leave. We didn&#8217;t agree and were  tear gassed and sound bombed and one was arrested. the people of the  demo then went back to the rout of the wall and went on with the demo,  after being gassed again the went to the entrance to the village, some  10 meters away, and would not go away, even as tear gas and sound bombs  were still thrown. The demand to let the prisoner go was finally  answered and he was let go. the people then marched back up the village  chanting slogans and playing drums.</p>

A group of Palestinian, Israeli and international activists demonstrated  peacefully in the village of Wad Rahal, south of Bethlehem, against  plans to erect a wall, and land confiscations and house demolitions  which have already begun as a result of these plans.</p>
<p>Despite the protest being completely non-violent, with the demonstrators  drumming and shouting slogans, the Israeli army arrived at the scene  and immediately attacked the demonstrators with grenades and tear gas.</p>
<p>This is an example of how the Israeli army treats non-violent protests of Palestinians in the West Bank.<br />

<p>Sheikh Jarrah</p>
<p>&#8221; No to Political Oppression<br />
The passing week has been another one of oppression. The settlers who  murdered the youth Yousef Ikhlay from Saffa are still roaming free. The  village of El-Araqeeb was demolished once again. The Sha&#8217;aban family  from Dahamash is still under house arrest after it dared protest against  the house demolitions in Dahamash and Lod.<br />
Yet, the inspiring pictures from Egypt show us that an alternative does  exist. That popular resistance and solidarity can still change reality,  tear down oppressive regimes and pave the road to a better world.<br />
This Friday we will meet in Sheikh Jarrah and protest all these injustices. Join us!&#8221;</p>
<p>This Friday, February 4th, At the weekly demo in SJ the people reclaimed  the garden of SJ, were the demo&#8217;s always start. They changed the name  of the garden to El-Tahrir Sq in solidarity with the Egyptian people.<br />

We will meet at 11:20 in Kikar Safra (the square in front of the  municipality) in order to protest and say that the expansion of the  settlement in Sheikh Jarrah will not go through quietly!<br />
Please come if you can!<br />
