Venerdì 19 febbraio, manifestazioni più ampie del solito sono attese nelle due cittadine che settimanalmente ospitano proteste contro il Muro dell’Apartheid, Bil'in e al-Ma'sara.
L’esercito israeliano tenta in ogni modo di impedirle. A Bil'in sono cinque anni che gli abitanti protestano. Ad al-Ma'sara, la popolazione ha invitato il FPL ad unirsi alla protesta (con altri gruppi è già stato un successo).
Gli autobus partono da Beit Sahour per al-Ma'sara alle 11.30.
Il Comitato Popolare per la Difesa di Ush Ghrab (composto da rappresentanti sia dei partiti politici che della società civile) invita, per domenica 20 febbraio, a difendere l’unica aerea libera dall’accerchiamento delle ‘colonie’ sioniste che si trovano nella zona di Betlemme. I residenti di Beit Sahour e delle cittadine vicine, e anche gli “internazionali”, sono invitati ad unirsi per protestare contro i progetti militari che interssano l’area di Ush Ghrab.
Gli autobus partiranno di fronte alle chiese dopo le funzioni religiose e ci ritroveremo sulla collina di Ush Ghrab dalle 10.30 alle 12.30, dove verranno elevate preghiere per la pace e la giustizia e dove protesteremo affinché non vengano esauditi i desideri dei ‘coloni’ estremisti.
Fateci sapere se verrete, e diffondete intanto la notizia.
Messaggio in originale:
On Friday 19 February, larger than usual demonstrations against the
apartheid system are expected in two of the many weekly demonstrations in
the West Bank: Bil'in and Al-Ma'sara. The Israeli army tried desperately to
block such civil resistance actions. In Bil'in, the village people mark
the 5th year of weekly protests. In Al-Ma'sara, the town people invited in
the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine to come join their
protest in large numbers (they did this earlier very successfully with other
factions). Buses from Beit Sahour to go to Al-Ma'sara at 11:30 AM.The Popular Committee for the Defense of Ush Ghrab (composed of all
political factions, and representatives of civil society institutions)
invites you Sunday, 21 February 2010 to defend the last open area not
covered by the ring of settlements around the Bethlehem district. The
residents of Beit Sahour and nearby towns, with help from internationals,
are invited to join together to protest the military designs on the area of
Ush Ghrab. Buses will be available in front of Churches after Sunday
services and we will be present at the hill of Ush Ghrab from 10:30-12:30
where prayers for peace and justice will be offered and where we protest the
military designs that are intended to satisfy right wing settler elements. Please
let us know that you are coming and spread the word on popular resistance.Israel makes life very hard for Palestinians, says ICRC (International
