NO ARMY, NO PRISON and NO WALL CAN STOP US

This is a call-out to mark the 5th anniversary of * BIL'IN''S
NON-VIOLENT POPULAR RESISTANCE CAMPAIGN in PALESTINE.*

*On February 5th , the 5th anniversary of * Bil'in's non-violent, popular resistance campaign there will be a special vigil/demo in front of the Israeli consulate at 180 Bloor St. W. (in front of the ROM) from 5 until 6pm.*

Since 2005, the village of Bil'in and other villages in the West Bank
have been demonstrating non-violently against the confiscation of
their land by illegal Israeli settlements and the separation/apartheid
wall. Villagers have led weekly protests with active participation
from Israeli and international peace activists. Bil'in has become an
internationally celebrated symbol of Palestinian popular resistance.

The village of Bil'in has also launched a historic landmark lawsuit
here in Canada against two Quebec-based companies. Since the last
hearing of this case in Montreal in the spring, the villagers have
faced a series of night raids by the Israel army. Many leaders of the
community and young people as young as14 have been arrested and held
in prison. Many are still languishing there. Abdallah Abu Rhamah, a
scoolteacher and activist in Bil'in was arrested on International
Human Rights Day and wrote the piece from prison “no army, no prison
and no wall can stop us”.

*Please join with us in solidarity with the people of Palestine for
their right to safeguard their land, their trees, their resources and
their right to self-determination and liberty.*
