PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY

3RD NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL
WEEK AGAINST THE APARTHEID WALL!




Campaign Call, The Grassroots Palestinian
Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign, August 21st, 2005

9th ? 16th of November 2005:

3rd National and International Week against the
Apartheid Wall!

 

?Through Our Hands, the Apartheid Wall Will Fall!?

 

This is the call under which dispossessed Palestinian
farmers and communities all over the West Bank will
stand together against the Apartheid Wall and Zionist
project of Occupation:  

Against destruction of the land and its fruits which
have been the historical lifeline and beauty of
Palestine.

Against colonization and ghettoization through walls,
militarization, Jewish-only housing, roads and
infrastructure aimed at the extinction of the heritage
and future of our people.

Against the ethnic cleansing of Jerusalem ? the heart
of Palestine ? and the ongoing expulsion of our people
from their homes.

The Palestinian People are Preparing Intensified Mass
Resistance all along the Wall?s Path

To Mark The 3rd Year of The National Week Against The
Apartheid Wall.

The jailed existence of 1.3 Million Palestinians in
the Gaza Strip will be worsened under the pretence of
?disengagement??a strategic manoeuvre that distracts
international attention away from the continued
construction of the Apartheid Wall, expansion of
settlements, and destruction of Palestinian land
throughout the West Bank. The way that Israel has
targeted Gaza?its walled enclosure since the beginning
of Oslo, its isolation and ghettoization, the
destruction of infrastructure, and the enslavement of
Palestinians in the industries that serve the profits
of Israel and global capital? is now being mirrored
throughout the West Bank at an alarming rate.

The world asks ?responsibility? from the Palestinian
people in administering their own imprisonment and
enslavement. It orchestrates the discourse towards a
new round of ?peace negotiations? to ensure
Palestinian silence behind the walls. The World Bank
and international governments are prepared to pay a
high price to buy this silence. What they are not
prepared to do, however, is to enforce the
implementation of their own international law and
rules in front of Israel. Holding Israel accountable
to the ICJ decision to tear down the Wall and to the
multitude of ignored UN resolutions is conveniently
suspended to accommodate the interests of Israel and
its collaborators.

Palestinians are not asking, however, for larger
ghettos, colourful walls and international aid that
sustain the Occupation, but for Liberation and
Justice!

The Zionist project has failed to destroy the
determination of the people to resist and struggle for
their land and rights. It has failed in Gaza, it is
failing in the West Bank, and it cannot drown the
calls for the Right of Return of 5 million Palestinian
refugees expelled from their homeland.

Mobilize for the 3rd International Week

against the Apartheid Wall

called for by the Palestinian Grassroots

Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign

in support of Palestinian popular resistance!

Echo and amplify the voice and determination of the
Palestinian struggle throughout your countries in mass
mobilizations!

While the collaborative efforts of governments and
international institutions perpetuate the subjugation
of Palestinians, the United Palestinian Call for
boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel is
shared by over 170 Palestinian organizations inside
and outside their homeland.

The people of the world are rallying in an ever
growing movement to Isolate Apartheid Israel, are
targeting complicity with the Occupation and are
calling on their governments to end support to Israel.

 Unite and take up this call to isolate Apartheid
Israel:

End the complicity with the Zionist project of
occupation, apartheid and expulsion!

Enact boycott initiatives!

Make widespread divestment from Apartheid Israel and
companies supporting it a reality!

Don?t let culture, sports and academy be a
legitimating and supportive force of Israeli crime!

Pressure your governments to comply with and enact the
ICJ decision and to put effective arms embargos and
sanctions on Apartheid Israel and stop financing and
sustaining the ghettoization of the Palestinian
people!

Let the Palestinian grassroots Anti-Apartheid Wall
Campaign know about your action: contact us at
Global at StopTheWall.org.

The Media Office of the International Solidarity
movement reported that Israeli soldiers invaded Bil?in
village, west of Ramallah, and distributed leaflets in
front of the village?s mosque warning the residents
that all protests against the Separation Wall are
considered ?illegal?.

The leaflets read that the Wall being constructed on
Palestinian orchards aims to ensure what was described
as the ?security of Israel?, and disregarded the fact
that it is annexing hundreds of Dunams of farmlands.

At least 250 residents and 50 Israeli and
international peace activists marched in Bil?in
village, west of Ramallah and headed towards a
construction site of the Separation Wall near the
village.

Israeli and international peace activists walked
through the hills in order to reach the village after
the soldiers closed all of its entrances.

The protestors marched to the construction site and
raised Palestinian flags while chanting slogans
against the Wall.

At the Wall?s construction site, the protestors used
stones and metal to knock on the iron used to
construct the wall and chanted slogans against the
Israeli policy of land grab and annexation.

Soldiers attacked the protestors, fired gas canisters
and concussion grenades, and detained 15 Israeli peace
activists in addition to Mohammad Al Khateeb, member
of the Popular Committee Against the Wall, and member
of Bil?in village council.

Soldiers claimed that the Israeli peace activists them
during the procession. 

Soldiers released 16 Israeli activists later on, while
Al Khateeb and another activist remained in detention.
