Bil'in, a small village in Palestine is the site
of one of the most important non-violent,
civil disobedience actions in the Middle
East. Every Friday, villagers and interna-
tional supporters, march to the illegally
constructed wall, in an attempt to regain
and keep their agricultural lands. Several
of us from Pittsburgh had the opportunity
to visit Bil'in this summer and join with oth-
ers in a demonstration against the wall.
We also experienced first-hand the repres-
sion leveled at the villagers -- CS gas and
rubber bullets.
