I'm leaving Sheikh Jarrah and occupied East Jerusalem early tomorrow morning for the Palestinian village of Bil'in near Ramallah.
Bi'lin has had nearly 60 percent of its land annexed to Israel after the construction of the apartheid wall there to clear space for illegal Israeli Jewish settlements.
Over 30 residents of Bil’in have been arrested in the last six months during a night raid and arrest campaign by the Israeli Occupation Forces. The night raids target young Palestinian boys accused of throwing stones at the wall as well as participants of the weekly nonviolent demonstrations and organizers for the Committee for Popular Resistance Against the Wall.
International solidarity activists in Bi'lin patrol the town every night in an attempt to mitigate and document the raids by the apartheid state security forces.
