DESCRIPTION:Talk by Bassem Tamimi, a leader of West Bank villagers struggling to stop 
 the theft of Palestinian land, water and future.\nBassem Tamimi was 10 
 weeks old when Israel invaded and began occupying the West Bank in 1967.  
 He hid with his mother in a cave during Israel’s attack. \nA grassroots 
 activist, he began organizing weekly demonstrations five years ago to 
 protest the seizure by Israel of the well belonging to his village, Nabi 
 Salih. \nTamimi, whose home has been slated for demolition by Israel's 
 Civil Administration, has been arrested by the Israeli authorities over a 
 dozen times, at one point spending more than three years in administrative 
 detention without trial. The European Union has described him as a "human 
 rights defender". \nAbout this work Tamimi says: "Our strategic choice of a 
 popular struggle -- as a means to fight the occupation taking over our 
 lands, lives and future -- is a declaration that we do not harm human 
 lives. The very essence of our activity opposes killing."  \nFMI:
