Yesterday morning, as is their wont, Israeli Occupation Forces intruded into the village of Bilin, this time there were only three to the forefront with backup behind them, when challenged they beat a retreat. Yesterday afternoon, villagers rushed to quench a fire in an olive tree sited close to the Apartheid-Annexation Wall which had to be deliberately set on fire by the retreating IOF, but which was unable to be saved due to the fire being set in a crevice in the trunk which smouldered throughout the day and it was only in the latter stages that the tell-tale smoke was detected. ... read full story / add a comment

"On Saturday (May 15) the true nature of the Twenty-Six County state was once again exposed as the Garda violently attacked those who dare to oppose NAMA, the bank bailouts and the savage programme of cutbacks. "The Garda response to éirígí’s protest was not the result of an operational blunder or lack of experience. The decision to attack peaceful protesters was both premeditated and well planned. And more importantly is was highly political. The Dublin government have clearly decided that the emerging resistance to their right wing economic policies must be crushed before it grows stronger." ... read full story / add a comment

The weeky protests in Nabi Saleh have quickly gained a reputation as the most violent of the West Bank demonstrations, last Friday's proved true to the norm where an arrested Israeli woman was repeatedly kicked and savaged on the ground by a Border Police thug and the villagers were subjected to blizzards of tear gas and live fire. This morning YouTube pulled the video (Nabi Saleh protest 14-05-2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OL3MOCi5JRU) showing the savage assault on the Israeli Anarchist Against the Wall activist on the weasel basis that: This video or group may contain content that is inappropriate for some users, as flagged by YouTube's user community.
