About 300 protestors: Israeli, Palestinian and international atteneded the weekly demo against the appartheid wall in Ni‘lin. In an impressive joint collective action the protestors have succeeded in moving one of the wall blocks (weighing a few tons!), causing substantial damage to the wall, and opening a gap in which a person can pass.
In the past month the army had constructed the aforementioned cement wall (similar to the one in Kalkilia area) that seperates between the villages‘ agricultural lands, in which the demos take place, and the electronic wall that is situated in the heart of these lands.
Earlier, the prostestors have placed ruber tires in the Palestinian side of the wall and put them on fire. The impressive fumes have reached the Israeli side (and probably the ozone layer as well). Soldiers have fired gas grenades on the protestors, also using the multi-barrel gas grenade launcher, capable of firing 32 gas grenades simoultanously. One Palestinian protestor was lightly injured from the gas grenades. The protestors have thrown stones at the soldiers.

כ-300 מפגינים ישראלים פלסטינים ובינלאומיים השתתפו ביום שישי בהפגנה נגד חומת האפרטהייד בנעלין. בסוף ההפגנה, הצליחו המפגינים - בפעולה קולקטיבית מרשימה ומאומצת - להזיז את אחת מאבני הבטון של החומה (משקלה כמה טונות!). בכך גרמו נזק משמעותי לחומה והצליחו לפעור בה חור שמאפשר מעבר אדם.
הצבא בנה בחודש האחרון את חומת הבטון (בדומה למבנה החומה באזור קלקיליה) שהמפגינים הזיזו. החומה החדשה חוצצת בין השטחים החקלאיים של הכפר, בהן מתקיימות ההפגנות, לבין הגדר האלקטרונית שהוקמה בלב האדמות ומנתקת אותן מבעליהן.
המפגינים הניחו צמיגים בצד הפלסטיני של הגדר והבעירו אותם. תמרות העשן השחור הגיעו לצד הישראלי (וככל הנראה גם הלאה משם לשכבת האוזון). החיילים ירו רימוני גז לעבר המפגינים, בין היתר באמצעות ”המדוכה“ שמשגרת 32 רימונים במטח ירי אחד. מפגין פלסטיני אחד נפצע קל מהרימונים. המפגינים ידו אבנים לעבר הצבא הישראלי.

Throughout history the practice and theory of the masses is that walls such as the Berlin wall, the Great Wall of China, the armed wall now being built between the United States and Mexico, and the Israeli Apartheid Wall have failed to function for the peoples will. That is because the peoples want friendship, and mutual benefit with each other in all countries and regions, and religions, as well as politically, economically, judicially, and for all social programmes. War machines such as this wall will fall because it is oppressive to all peoples in the region including the jewish peoples, who have lived in the Holyland for thousands of years in peace and freedom. Far, far, better to build technology that does't jail and oppress the planets' life such as plants, animals and peoples. Far better to work for an organic living than constuct means of oppression. Marx made the point, that reactionary borders and walls must fall because they do not allow the workers of all countries to unite as is proper. Natural borders will stand forever, because they facilitate use and progress and ecological balance. Well known in the world of Flora and Fauna.
