"Israeli apartheid and occupation isn't going to end by itself - it will end when it becomes ungovernable and unmanageable." Anarchists Against the Wall was established in 2003 in response to Israel’s construction of the Separation Wall on Palestinian land in the Occupied West Bank. Activity began with a four-month protest tent in Mas’ha, where the wall was to leave 96% of the Palestinian village's land on the Israeli side. AATW continues to work with Palestinians in joint popular struggle and, throughout the West Bank. Efforts are coordinated through local Palestinian villages’ popular committees and are essentially Palestinian led. Anarchists Against the Wall believe it their duty as Israeli citizens to resist immoral policies and actions carried out in their name. “We believe that it is possible to do more than demonstrate inside Israel or participate in humanitarian relief actions. It is time to physically oppose the bulldozers, the army and the occupation.” Polokow will discuss the work of AATW and his own experiences in solidarity with Palestinians in villages in the West Bank. Under occupation law, people are indicted for simply participating in demonstrations and AATW activists are faced with mounting legal expenses to cover defense in Israeli courts. Donations in the evening are suggested to help meet legal costs for Palestinians and Israelis arrested in the course of non-violent protests against the Separation Wall being built on Palestinian land. Events will be held at Evergreen from 12pm to 1:30pm in Sem II room D1105 and at Traditions Cafe from 7pm to 8:30pm Sponsored at Evergreen by Students Educating Students About the Middle East, OMJP and Political Economy of the Media. Sponsored at Traditions Cafe by OMJP and the Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace and Justice.
