What Does The Wall Mean?

Personal Testimony, Abdul-Latif Khaled
Last Friday I went to visit my family land behind the Wall, and to pick some olives for eating. During the way I had to wait for the gate to open, then wait to be checked and to go ahead. Everything after one year of building the Wall becomes a routine, but nothing is normal. More than 15,000 trees died behind the Wall in this area. More than 200 farmers lost their land and work.

WorldWide Activism 

 

Massive Mobilization for the 2nd International Week against the Apartheid Wall

 

Over 50 events, protests and demonstrations in 20 countries have already joined in the call of the Palestinian Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign for the 2nd International Week against the Apartheid Wall!

If you haven’t done already, please send us information about your mobilization/activity

to unite with the global resistance against the Apartheid Wall, Israeli Apartheid and Occupation! This year’s International Week against the Apartheid Wall shows once 

again that the people of the world are determined not to tolerate this additional Israeli crime, as it destroys Palestinian land and lives, imprisoning the residents in their 

villages, devastating farm lands, closing off farmers from their land, and preventing the population from access to water resources, work places, schools, hospitals and other 

basic services. [See the list of activities!]

This poster against Israeli Apartheid and the Apartheid Wall shows the reality behind the 8 meter-high concrete blocks: the Palestinian people enclosed in open-air prisons, and the destruction of lives and a society. The image of Soweto recalls the struggle of the South African people against the white racist regime when their struggle, supported by effective international boycott and sanctions campaigns, brought to an end the Apartheid regime. Download the poster and make the reality of Israeli Apartheid in Palestine known in your streets! Support the Palestinian struggle to get “Apartheid out of History!” [MORE]

Get the new sticker of the Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign! The call for sanctions and boycott on Israeli Apartheid is stamped on the image of the Apartheid Wall. The strong colors of the Palestinian flag and the clear-cut design make sure that the sticker can be printed in all formats and has, as well, a strong impact in small size to be put everywhere. It is an ideal activist resource for your boycott campaigns! [MORE] 

 

 

“No to Bantustans” – Three Maps of Israel’s ongoing Colonization of Palestine
The maps show the ongoing colonization of Palestine from before 1948 to the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip to the Apartheid Wall, which is Israel’s current attempt to force the Palestinian people into Bantustans. The impressive black and white design leaves no doubt about Israel’s Apartheid nature and its plans to dominate all of Palestine! The call against the Wall, the Bantustans and Israeli Apartheid is the clear message of the design.
The design works well as posters, post cards, stickers and t-shirts.
