-Bil'in My Love (Bil'in
Habibti): The award-winning documentary (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WynTOY04Ac8)
about the West Bank village of Bil'in's three year
nonviolent struggle against Israel's wall and settlements
-Mansour Mansour:
Palestinian activist from the West Bank village of Biddu,
near Jerusalem
-Shai Pollak:
Israeli activist and filmmaker, director of the documentary
"Bil'in My Love" and member of Israel's Anarchists Against
the Wall
The village of Bil'in's campaign of creative, nonviolent
resistance to Israel's wall & settlements inspired the New
York campaign to boycott settlement builders & NYC
developers Lev Leviev & Shaya Boymelgreen (www.mideastjustice.org).
Leviev & Boymelgreen built settlement homes on Bil'in's
land.
In Bil'in last week,
according to the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz Daily, "More
than 20 activists were wounded Friday as Israel Defense
Forces troops fired rubber bullets and tear gas grenades at
protesters marking three years of struggle against the West
Bank separation fence in the West Bank town of Bil'in. More
than 1,000 people attended the milestone demonstration
Friday."
