Subject: Anarchist against the wall in London sept 29 and 30
please excuse the shameless self promotion...
A 3 year battle has been waging over several hundred acres of West bank lands. This struggle has come to symbolize the popular resistance to Israels "separation barrier". Aligned on one side were a city of 30,000 settlers, several of the largest construction companies in Israel, the state itself and the IDF. On the other side was a village called Bilin population 1700. Bilin is supported by a loose collection of activist from around the world and from Israel. A significant part of that support comes from the Israeli group called Anarchists Against the Wall ( awalls.org). By ceaseless demonstrations, direct actions and endless creativity the village and its supporters have forced the Israeli court to yield back part of the lands of the village in a stunning decision on Sept 4th. The struggle is not over but one thing is already clear; the joint popular movement of Palestinians internationals and Israelis is capable of sustaining intensive campaigns for years and has more power than even it knew.
Members of Anarchists against the wall will be in London on the 29th and 30th of September. The following two events are a chance to hear about their part of the struggle and support their legal fund.
