Murderers! This is from Ahmad Mousa and Yousef Amira Yesterday, in the relentless resistance against the construction of the Annexation Wall and the illegal Israeli colonising “settlements” of Kfar Rut, Shilta, Mattityahu, Makkabim, Hashmonaim, Lapid, Modi’in Illit (Qiryat Sefer) and Menora on the expropriated Palestinian lands of Bil’in and Saffa, villagers from Bil’in, their numbers augmented by Internationals and Israeli Anarchists Against the Wall marched, as they have done for the past four years after Friday prayers, in protest to the Wall. In tune with the Wildean observation that the sincerest form of solidarity is imitation, à la the Iraqi journalist, Muntadhar al-Zaidi, shoes and boots were flung at the Wall and the safely out-of-reach Israeli Occupation Forces with one placard echoing the words he directed at Bush: “This is from the widows, the orphans and those you’ve killed in Palestine," another placard alluding to the recent IOF murders of two Palestinian youths from the nearby village of Nil’in stated: Murderers! This is from Ahmad Mousa and Yousef Amira – on 29th July 2008, after a demonstration against the Wall, whilst sitting under a tree, Ahmad was killed with a live bullet to the head http://stopthewall.org/latestnews/1701.shtml Next day following his funeral, Yousef was murdered with two rubber coated bullets again fired into the head by an IOF soldier only a few meters away http://stopthewall.org/latestnews/1703.shtml |

Jump To Comment: 1 2The IOF, in what can only be described as collective punishment for Bil'in's heroic opposition to the Wall and the colonising of its stolen land has subjected the village to almost nightly and daily incursions, this is a video of one of them.

Last Tuesday, over two hundred Palestinians, Israelis, Internationals (notably, activists from the International Solidarity Movement and Ecumenical Accompaniment Program in Palestine and Israel) and a Bishop assembled and celebrated Xmas at the Sheikh Jarrah Protest Tent in solidarity with the evicted al-Kurd family, flocking to Um Kamel al-Kurd's earlier cri de coeur: "Where are the conciousness, where are the hearts of the world? Why are they not defending us and helping us to return to our home?"
The protest camp was established by the Sheikh Jarrah Neighbourhood Committee following the violent eviction of the al-Kurd family on the 9th November initially to show support for the evicted family and the 500 other Palestinians who are under threat of eviction from the neighbourhood. It has been demolished three times already by Israeli authorities despite being situated on private Palestinian property. previous protest tent had been active throughout the Summer on the al-Kurd property, as widespread international condemnation of Israeli policy against the family and neighbourhood grew, including an official complaint from the US State Departmentccupied East Jerusalem. Abu Kamel al-Kurd was immediately rushed to hospital following the family's violent early morning eviction with high-blood pressure. He was re-admitted to hospital two weeks later where he died of a heart attack homeless. Widespread international condemnation of Israeli policy against the family and neighborhood has been displayed, including an official complaint from the US State Department.
Um Kamel al-Kurd and Evang. Lutheran Bishop, Dr. Munib A. Younan
