(en) Palestine-Israel, The joint struggle intensify on the back ground of the intensifying of the harassments.

It was not just the coming Israeli elections that Israeli settler colonialism intensified. 
It is part of the trend of last years in which the efforts to expand the settler 
colonialist project increase - as if to exploit the last opportunity. It is done within 
the 1948 borders - mainly with transfer of the Bedouins of the south. It is done within 
the occupied east Jerusalem. It occur in the C areas mainly near colonialist settlements 
and more so in areas intended to be annexed to Israel. In response, the third Intifada 
collect momentum and the anarchists against the wall are invited more and more to 
locations of joint struggles. The general election revealed that a substantial section of 
the capitalist elite start to distance itself from the costly settler colonialist 
project... But, it seems more international pressure is needed for a significant change.

Bab Al-Karamah


Activists re-erect tents at Bab al-Karamah, Jan. 25, 2013.
Dozens of Palestinian activists entered a demolished protest village in northwest 
Jerusalem on Friday, starting to rebuild the al-Karamah (Dignity) encampment. The tent 
village was established last Friday to protest Israel's land confiscation and settlement 
building in the area of Beit Iksa. On Monday, Israeli troops demolished all the tents and 
evacuated all the activists in the camp. Activists entered the village on Friday and 
performed the weekly prayer, before re-erecting tents and planting olive trees, witnesses 
said. Beit Iksa, surrounded by Israeli settlements, is set to be entirely encircled by 
Israel's separation wall, cutting it off from Jerusalem. When completed, the wall will 
annex 96 percent of Beit Iksa's land, according to a study by the Applied Research 
Institute - Jerusalem. The Al-Karamah village was the second protest village set up, and 
torn down, this month. Earlier, activists established the Bab al-Shams village near East 
Jerusalem, in a protest against Israel's plans to build the "E1" settlement on the land, 
severing the West Bank from Jerusalem.

Ni'lin


"....First Ni'lin, just before the checkpoint we encountered a promissory obstacle of 
spikes on the road, something we never came across it even when it was closed to bar the 
entry of leftists before large demonstrations in Bil'in. For a moment I feared ... At the 
booth was an officer, I opened the window and I turned to him impatiently as the settlers 
did not understand why interfere with their lives and I were doing something wrong? Why 
barrier down? The officer said that they only looked at the gate and immediately picked it 
up, I exhaled.
After the noon prayer, approximately 60 Palestinian, Israeli and internationals walked to 
the separation wall. First we walked and called shouting in Arabic and Hebrew against the 
occupation and theft of land, until we reached the gate of the separation wall, there some 
of us knocked on the iron gate and demanded that the soldiers open the gate so that people 
of Ni'lin be able to access their land. We have not received any response from the 
soldiers on the other side of the gate. Then we brought tires, placed them on the wall 
and ignited them. To this the soldiers did respond... with big quantity of tear gas. Some 
protesters bravely climbed the wall and tried to speak to the hearts of the soldiers. Some 
protesters threw Frisbees with Letter to the soldiers glued to the bottom."

Nabi Saleh

Friday, 18/12013 The weekly Friday demonstration in Nabi Saleh was held in the aftermath 
of an attempt by Halamish to expand the settlements earlier this week. Demonstrators march 
in solidarity with hunger striking political prisoners Samer 'Issawi and Ayman Sharawneh 
and chanted against the occupation and land theft. The Israeli occupation army responded 
with barrages with tear gas, rubber-coated steel bullets and skunk water. Three protesters 
were injured, including a 16 year old boy who was hit with a canister to his head. They 
were all treated at the scene.

During the weekly demonstration in Nabi Saleh, the IOF attempted to suppress the protest 
using putrid skunk water and barrages of rubber coated steel bullets and tear gas. Seven 
international and Israeli solidarity activists were arrested in the pretext of entering a 
'closed military zone.' A few protesters were injured by rubber bullets, one of whom 
sustained an injury to his face and was taken to hospital for medical treatment. Dozens 
suffocated from the tear gas.

"Activists on the ground in Nabi Saleh are reporting that Israeli Occupation Forces have 
invaded the village and are shooting plastic bullets and teargas randomly! Skunk is also 
being sprayed at houses. One 16/17 year old boy has been hit directly in the head with a 
teargas canister. no updates as yet on his condition.

South West Bank Committee Protests on Friday 25.1.2013

Palestinian Protesters in the Settlers' Backyard

Today, 25.1.2013, at 10:30 AM the South West Bank Committee with international and Israeli 
activists and under the coverage of a large number of journalists, marched up to the gates 
leading to Elazar colony. Palestinians are barred from entering the illegal colony which 
sits on private Palestinian land. The large number of protesters, waving Palestinian flags 
and holding signs, stayed in front of the closed gate for about an hour. A settlers' bus 
and cars which attempted to enter the colony were blocked from entering by the 
participants and settlers found it impossible to enter the colony without having to make 
their way through the protesters and hear their calls. One settler shoved a protester and 
others attacked them verbally.
The protesters then proceeded to march along the apartheid road 60 which is under the 
control of the Occupation Authorities. By this time, four jeeps of the occupation army 
arrived, and the protesters were followed closely by occupation soldiers along the road. 
At several points the occupation soldiers became violent while protesters insisted that 
this was a peaceful march. Despite attempts by the forces to stop the march, the 
participants were determined to continue and marched on. Several Palestinian cars which 
passed by honked their horns in support while settlers who drove by cursed and verbally 
abused the peaceful protesters. Indeed, this was a rare moment as various settlers who 
drove by with cars and buses saw for the first time a Palestinian protest taking place 
right below their eyes.
Protesters then proceeded to march to the illegal colony of Neve Daniel. At this point a 
settler from the the illegal colony came out of the gated colony, took pictures of the 
protesters and pushed them. Protesters were then entirely surrounded by occupation 
soldiers who prevented further movement towards the colony. The participants remained 
steadfast and a after about an hour the protest ended as activists continued on to the 
weekly protest in al Maasara and Al Fawar refugee camp.


Al-Ma'sara

In al Maasara, Palestinian, Israeli and international protesters were surrounded by 
occupation soldiers who prevented their exit from the town to the nearby agricultural 
lands. Despite the occasional violence imposed by the occupation soldiers on the children 
who participated, the protesters continued to attempt to make their way through the many 
heavily armed soldiers surrounding them.

Al Fawar

In Al Fawar, protesters marched towards the block established in 2001 by the Israeli 
Occupation Forces at the entrance to the refugee camp. A huge number of occupation 
soldiers attacked the protesters physically and fired tear gas canisters on them. Despite 
this, protesters were determined in their efforts to open the block which restricts their 
movement. The protesters finally succeeded to break the gate open, but were not able to 
move the huge concrete blocks. The road was partially opened and the protesters made it 
clear that this road will be open in spite of the terror inflicted by the Israeli state.

South West Bank Committee


South Hebron Hills

Awake 06:15, on a Saturday morning, in order to go with Taayush to escort farmers in South 
Hebron Hills.
A police car led the way for our van for ten minutes. Then they stopped us and demanded 
our IDs, even though they had no ground for that. The police officer that came on the van 
said "Hey, I already recognize some of you." Then another officer explained that we are 
leftist activists so our purpose is to cause clashes. After warning some of us privately 
and all together, we were allowed to continue driving.
