Non Violent Demonstrations Against the Wall
A form of unified resistance against the wall; a grassroots movement. 15/04/05 15:46 The wall, which is currently being built in the West Bank, Palestine, is not only destroying agricultural land, but is also immobilizing people and not allowing them to live their lives; it's an open air prison. Due to the catastrophic impact of this structure, an all inclusive grassroots movement was formed throughout the path of the wall in the villages affected directly. International activists from groups such as ISM and IWPS, Israeli activists, and Palestinians inhabiting the villages work together in this non-violent struggle against the wall. These demos typically include a march towards the land where the construction is occurring, and is always led by the village, yet most of the time the location is not reached due to the reaction of the army. Tear gas and sound bombs an obvious aspect of the demo, rubber bullets are shot as well, a one sided war zone against unarmed people trying to live, and resist in order to do so.
