celebrate and support the formation of a popular 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.
The road block is located on the only way to get to freeway 60. Palestinians from the Karyut area have to use side roads are forced to drive for hours longer to get to work or to visit family. This is one way that the Israeli military creates Jewish only roads and a system of apartheid.

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 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.

§We need to put boulders like those in front of the entrances to Israel-enabling businesses

by Stop Nazi Israel

Any kind of direct action against businesses that sell Israeli goods or whose owners finance Israel and Zionism would be a good idea.

And it would be nice if some of those who support what the ZioNazis are doing to the Palestinians would wake up to find their doors and driveways blocked by such boulders. And, if their homes are downhill from the roads going past them, I can think of even better use for such boulders.
