Reply #23: farms vs cities

[idontwantaname]

referring to your last line:

this is because the palestinins dont have proper and formal groups and orgs to represent them. the farmers in budrus never formed a group with a website. its a village of 1000 people. they dont even have a restaurant in the entire village!

so to argue there are few palestinian nonviolent groups because you cant find their website is quite a poor argument. i would say the israeli anarchists try to attend nearly every demonstration there is in the west bank, with the exception of nablus region. most of these they are invited to by the palestinians. in most all cases they dont attend a demo unless they have been invited.

dont you remember that artile i posted about the israeli anarchist and hamas leader???

ghandi redux



Last Friday Laser and Hassan walked side by side along the main street
of Bilin. Laser Peles (who was born in Kfar Chabad, abandoned religion,
came out of the closet, was the spokesman for the gay-lesbian faction
in Meretz and one of the most devoted activists of Anarchists Against
the Fence) has made Bilin, a small Palestinian village adjacent to the
settlement of Upper Modi'in, his second home. Sheikh Hassan Yusuf, who
also has an ultra-Orthodox background, but contrary to Laser maintained
a close connection with religion, was deported to Lebanon, served six
years in an Israeli prison and another six months in a Palestinian
prison, is today considered the leader of Hamas in the West Bank.

"I am happy that you are here, the Israelis," the ultra-Orthodox
believer from Ramallah said to the former Haredi (Jewish ultra-Orthodox
believer) from Kfar Chabad, and the two, joined by another 500 or so
Palestinians and about 100 Israelis, continued on their way to the
weekly demonstration against the separation fence at Bilin.
