Palestine | Internationalcelebrate and support the formation of a poplar resistance in Krayut! part 1
On Friday, November the 6, hundreds of members of the village of Karyut came together to protest the Israelis occupation and settlements and to move a roadblock put up by the Israeli Occupation Forces. Defying the Israeli military (who declared illegally the area a “close military zone”) and the local PA municipality and mayor (who did not support in any way this action) the protesters represented a new wave of resistance in Karyut that does not obey the Palestinian or the Israeli bureaucracy. Although the exact location and details of the this demo were only discussed on privet phones, the Israeli military is waiting for us.
They present to us a closed military zone order. They are so used to copying and issuing that order every day that they forget to attach a map that shows the area that suppose to be closed. We notice that and inform them that their order is illegal. The area in the picture that the military is standing on is the roadblock that prevents the entrance to the freeway. the sign reads: لا سلام مع الاستيطان
no peace with settlements لاستيطان سرطان ابتلاع ارض
"the settlements are cancer which swallows the ground" لا للستيلاء على ارضينا
"do not take over our land" The military at first does not allow the residence of the village walk to the roadblock. Demonstrators yell at the soldiers and tell them that its their right to dismantle that roadblock. The military moves back eventually, and dismantling the roadblock begins.
working on the roadblock. what the military bulldozers can do in 15 minutes takes us a couple of hours.
