On March 25 cheap nike shox , 2006, I connected just after dawn with a wide awake group of Israeli Jews and atheists to travel to the lower Galilee municipality of Sakhnin, an Arab village whose land continues to be stolen by the Israeli government. Ronnie, from Canada moved to Israel with the desire to help build a civil society. She is a co-founder of Women in Black and active with Machsom Watchwomen at the checkpoints who watch for and report on human rights abuse. Ronnie and I both laughed when she told me, "A friend told me that I am so Left that if I ever gets to heaven I will probably argue with God that those in hell just didn't get a fair deal. "Religion is used as a cover, but it's all about the land! It's convenient to claim one is doing something for God but the laws are made to take the land. We don't have settlers in Israel -the common name for illegal colonists in the West Bank-we just take it! First it is claimed to be for military reasons then it'll become a park or agricultural land that the state has confiscated. "The Palestinians who did not leave in '48 but remained here still have lost their land. They can't get permits to build... I am opposed to the occupation and as an Israeli Jew I want to see justice for all...and I refuse to be enemies with anyone." We traveled three hours from Jerusalem and North of Nazareth nike shox australia , to be in solidarity with Batshalom's and The Women's Coalition for Peace and Justice kick off for the annual LAND DAY. Land Day began in 1976 after Israel confiscated acres of most fertile Palestinian land and the people took to the streets to demonstrate nonviolently. Six demonstrators died on that first day of commemoration, and across the Arab world all remember those martyrs on Land Day. The Israeli's had also placed land mines on the land and many of the farmers lost their lives or legs, so people quit caring for their groves and the Israeli government then declared the village of Sakhnin a military zone. I was told that a few years prior, the President of Israel declared that the people of Sakhnin, a municipality deserved to have their land back. But the Israeli county of Misgav with the help of the Land Authority continue to collect taxes from them and still have not returned any land nor will they issue permits for Palestinians to build upon it. About 100 progressive Israeli's, Arab Christians nike air max flyknit cheap , Muslims, atheists and communists attended the tour of the area. That day, I also learned that in that part of the world there are many female Muslims who are radical feminists, well educated and articulate. Terese told me, "In 2000 during Land Day, hundred's of nonviolent protestors were arrested and we were hit with tear gas and rubber bullets. Name it and we have had it!" "I am an Israeli Jew and I am responsible to change something about this situation. We all need to do this together nike free flyknit chukka australia ," Lilly told me. The speakers all spoke Arabic or Hebrew and if it hadn't been for a beautiful soul named Aliyah ["Go Up"] I would have been lost. Aliyah was born in St. Louis, grew up in Cleveland and moved to Israel in 1948. "My Father was born in Jerusalem and I was a Zionist, but now I am not so sure," she told me with a smile. "I still want the Jewish people to have a state but it must be honest and moral, I don't want a piranha state! Before 1967 I was euphoric! My husband and I began to learn that there were Israelis who you could call prophets, who said we must return the land and make peace. Then a fundamentalist Jewish group nike free 4.0 flyknit multicolor , The Gush Emunim began erecting the settlements in the newly possessed land. "When Israel went into Lebanon I was infuriated! I demonstrated against the massacres at Shatilla and Shabra. 18 years of Israel in Lebanon is what built up the Hezzbollah. The Israelis supported the group at first because they hoped the Hezzbolah would be against the Palestinian refugees in South Lebanon." I asked, "Isn't that what Israel did with Hamas? Didn't they originally support Hamas to be a wedge against the PLO?" "Yes, stupidity repeats itself!" Aliyah translated that in the Northern part of Israel 53% of the population are Jews who control 80% of the land. Palestinians are 47% of the population with only 20% of the land. Sakhnin has 25,000 people and less than 10,000 dunums of land but they only control half of that. In 1948 they owned and controlled 170,000 dunums. Aliyah also explained to me that the Defense Industry and Army base complex a few miles from where we stood has a most mysterious warehouse. "No one knows what is going on inside nike free 3.0 flyknit australia , but it may be a nuclear reactor. The municipality asked the army to develop in another direction for there is a school over there too. The Israelis are allowed to expand anywhere, but the people of Sakhnin are not allowed permits to builds on their own land. "I really became aware of what was going on in the '80's. I had been invited to a meeting of The Bridge for Peace and Coexistence, which is a group of Arab and Jewish activists. A man asked me where I was living and when I answered Bneitz-ion he calmly and politely told me "That is my Uncle's land." Palestinian Land Day - Frequently Asked Questions Date posted: March 29, 2004 By MIFTAH 1. What does Land Day commemorate? Land Day, known as 'Youm al-Ard' in Arabic, commemorates the bloody killing of six Palestinians in the Galilee on March 30 nike flyknit lunar 1+ multicolor for sale , 1976 by Israeli troops during peaceful protests over the confiscation of Palestinian lands. It has since become a painful reminder of Israeli injustice and oppression against the Palestinian people, and a day for demonstration linking all Palestinians in their struggle against occupation, self-determination and national liberation. 2. What happened on Land Day? Israeli authorities announced the confiscation of a total of 5,500 acres of land from Palestinian villages in the Galilee, and classified them as "closed military zones." The expropriated lands later fell sT
