Wednesday, April 3 2013 Israeli activists detained for filming by Mairav Zonszein In the video below (filmed by an Israeli Ta’ayush activist on Monday April 1 and subtitled quickly by yours truly) a policeman approaches Israeli activists who regularly go to the South Hebron Hills (he knows all their names already) and informs them they are being detained. For what? For filming illegal construction at an illegal outpost in the area called Avigayil on a different day. That’s right.

Saturday, December 24 2011 Plowing in Wadi J’kheish, visit to the villages of Ateer, T’wani and Tuba
A number of activists accompanied a harvest adjacent to Wadi J’kheish, about a kilometer southwest of the settlement of Susia. The activists continued on to a visit in the Bedouin village Ateer, located within the green line, some ten kilometers from the “Shani” border crossing; last Wednesday [21.12.11] the Israel Land Administration [Minhal Mekarka’ey Israel] carried out house demolitions in the village, leaving about 60 people without a roof over their heads.

Ta’ayush activists continue to take part in the weekly demonstrations in Sheikh Jarrah. Despite police efforts to restrict the protests to a distant and secluded site, the activists succeed weekly to move part of the protest into the area of the houses, which were stolen from their Palestinian owners and put into settler hands. Last Friday, 3.26.2010, during the weekly demonstration, a group of roughly 50 activists managed to hold a protest vigil next to the Shepherd Hotel, where settler organizations have lately received permission to begin building a Jewish ...Friday, January 22 2010 demonstration in Sheikh Jarrach
The struggle in Sheikh Jarrach is gaining momentum, and last week saw about 400 participants, including MKs, public figures, and a large number of first-comers. Once again the police acted violently, arresting over 20 demonstrators. On the other hand, throughout the demo we were not allowed into the neighborhood, while the policemen enabled the entry of right wing activists. As a direct result, shortly after the protest ended, settlers and their followers attacked some Palestinian residents and threw stones at them. A Palestinian child was injured in his head and ...Friday, January 8 2010 Protest in Sheikh Jarrah
The ninth weekly protest march to Sheikh Jarrah in East Jerusalem set out from the Mashbir plaza in West Jerusalem, about 200 people strong. The marchers sang and drummed the whole way, passing out fliers inviting West Jerusalem residents to join the struggle of their Palestinian neighbors against the appropriation of their homes. After about an hour, the protesters arrived in the neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah, where tens of Palestinian activists from neighboring areas joined them. The police prevented the protesters from arriving at the houses of the evicted families, blocking the protesters ...Wednesday, January 6 2010 Help us in our struggle against the take-over by settlers of Palestinian houses in Sheikh Jarrah!
