August 7 Weekly Demonstrations Against the Apartheid Wall and Deportation
Highlights of the Weekly Ongoing Anti Apartheid Wall Protests in Palestine
Over the weekend the weekly demonstrations against the apartheid wall in Palestine continued. In Bal'in , some 20 Israelis and 50 internationals joined Palestinians and marched chanting slogans against the annexation wall, the occupation and the arrest of Bil'in's youth and popular struggle leaders, accompanied by a marching poem written by one of the local leaders. speeches were made in Arabic, English and French.
In Nil'in the demonstration started in the village's small olive grove, what is left to the village after tens of years of Israeli land grabs. Protesters marched towards the newly built fence and dispersed along the route of the separation fence and expressed loudly their protest - each in their own preferred way.
In Al-Mas'ara dozens of Palestinian protesters against the apartheid Wall and the settlements were joined by a group of around 80 internationals from all over the world and some Israeli activists. They marched towards the Apartheid Wall carrying Palestinian and Fatah flags as a message to the members of Fatah from the popular resistance movement to adopt the popular resistance as strategy for the future and also as a message that unity is a priority for the Palestinians.
A candlelight vigil in the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah, was also held to protest against the eviction of two Palestinian families from their homes.
