On Sunday, March 21, tens of people marched in Beit-Jala towards the village fields that were taken by the occupation forces for the construction of the Apartheid Wall. This weeks march commemorated the life and death of Rachel Corrie, an ISM activist that was killed while trying to prevent a house demolition.
The protesters, Palestinians Israelis and internationals, were stopped before reaching the fields by the Israeli Occupation Forces. speeches were carried in Hebrew, English, and Arabic, calling on the soldiers to leave the area and go back to their houses.
